<p>I would like to get my bachelors in biomedical engineering. This question is purely hypothetical (I have not been accepted by either institution). Which engineering school is better: UVA's School of Engineering or A. James Clark School of Engineering at University of Maryland- College Park? Specifically for biomedical or biochemical engineering? Anyone that has attended either program have any input?</p>
<p>Define “better”. What are you looking for out of your engineering degree?</p>
<p>Some people have asked this question: Is a UVa degree in this field worth $— more a year than a UMd degree?</p>
<p>In any case, apply to both, wait to find out the net cost, and then you will hopefully have a choice. It is much easier to obtain an in-depth understanding of each program if you attend the typical events that most universities hold for students after they are accepted. </p>
<p>Also, keep in mind that many universities have a limited number of seats in their bio-med programs, and it can be competitive to get into that major, even if you are accepted by the engineering school. If I remember correctly, someone I know was very impressed with VCU’s program, but ended up choosing UVa.</p>
