<p>My S was admitted to the College of Engineering, but not directly into the Biomedical Engineering program. Rather, they list it as an "Area of Interest (AOI)", with criteria still to be met.</p>
<p>Is this common for the College of Engineering?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>It means that you didn’t have the pre requisites to get into the Biomed Engineering program. Our engineering department is very competitive, and here’s the information for incoming freshmen/transfer students on entering the major: </p>
<p>Freshman and transfer applicants admitted to the University but not immediately accepted into the Biomedical Engineering major may apply for acceptance to the major at any time during the academic year by contacting the director of the undergraduate program. Students in good academic standing may apply in any semester, but priority for admission to the Biomedical Engineering major is given to those students who have:</p>
<p>Completed MAT 132 and PHY 132/PHY 134 or their equivalents;
Earned a g.p.a. of 3.20 in all mathematics and physics courses with no more than one grade in the C range; and
Received completed course evaluations for all transferred courses that are to be used to meet requirements of the major.</p>
