Biomed down South

<p>I am a rising senior at a competitive public high school in NC, yadda yadda yadda...</p>

<p>I'm looking at NC State, UNC-CH, and Virginia Tech. Will not have a problem getting into any of those schools (33 ACT, 2250 SAT, part time student at UNC-CH for mathematics, Class rank 6/290, GPA 4.0/5.02, extra curriculars out the wazoo). </p>

<p>At NCSU and UNC-CH I would be a third-generation student if that matters at all.</p>

<p>I would like some opinions from those who attended any of these three schools about the engineering programs and how they compare, specifically biomed. I know UNC CH has the unaccredited program that is joint with NCSU. But just any insight about quality of programs, pluses/minuses, experiences with internships/co-ops (not just if it is available, but how it was set up, etc.) would be awesome</p>

<p>Also, any word on the food situation? Visited VT and that food court is amazing!</p>

<p>Just wondering - have you not considered Duke?</p>

<p>I have, but financially my family cannot make Duke work as a possibility.</p>

<p>Just apply to Duke. It has an excellent highly ranked bioengineering program. Who knows you might get some scholarships to make it affordable…</p>

<p>What is your EFC ?
Look at:
Carnegie Mellon University
Cornell University
Princeton University
Northwestern University</p>

<p>Ok. Lets leave duke out if te conversation for right now. Can anyone answer the original questions?</p>
