<p>do they go strictly by stats (gpa, sat's), or do they take other things into account?</p>
<p>uhhh..what do you think :S ??</p>
<p>they go by how cool your are.</p>
<p>of course they take other things into account. they probably take more things into account for bme admission.</p>
<p>Only your stats. </p>
<p>SAT's are 76% of the evaluation.
GPA is 14% of the evaluation
Class ranking is 10% of the evaluation.</p>
<p>But really, for serious. BME is no different than any other major, aside from the fact that the selectivity becomes a bit more narrow and refined. This doesn't mean that they have a different method for evaluating applications. And even if they did, we would not know.</p>
<p>sl88, the BME review process is an intense one as the applicants being considered for admission into BME tend to be some of the strongest in the entire applicant pool. </p>
<p>Many, many factors are considered just like with all admissions decisions. During the BME review some areas are focused on a bit more:</p>
<p>(in no particular order)
(1) Performance and strength of curriculum in math and science courses throughout high school
(2) SAT I Math score or ACT Math score
(3) SAT II exams in the Math and Sciences
(4) Research experiences
(5) Academic enrichment experiences related to the natural sciences, mathematics, and/or engineering
(6) Interest in the BME field, and reasons for selecting the program</p>
<p>Hope this helps you realize this is a comprehensive review process.</p>
<p>AdmissionsDaniel (or anyone else), what was the acceptance rate for BME last year? I applied under BME and I've only been able to find the overall JHU acceptance rate (35%). Thanks.</p>
