Biomedical Engineering at UNC

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I'm a high school senior in the midst of the college search process. I want to major in biomedical engineering, and after looking at UNC's website, I was happy to see it was listed as a major. Though when I went to select biomedical engineering on the Common App, it didn't come up as an option. Once I did some more research, I saw that UNC has a joint program with NC State for biomedical engineering. So, I have two questions.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>What should I do for the Common App? Normally I would pick a similar major such as Chemical Engineering, but UNC doesn't offer any other related engineering majors?</p></li>
<li><p>What exactly does the joint program entail? Would I be going to NC State for classes? What would life be like if I attended UNC as a biomedical engineer?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks for the help.</p>

<p>I would suggest applying to NC State.</p>
