<p>How about adding: UVA, Johns Hopkins, and Duke if you don’t mind coming East.</p>

<p>Thanks! Do you guys think I have a chance of being accepted to those colleges though? If you don’t think I have a chance, what should I improve one?</p>

<p>NC State University and UNC-Chapel Hill have a joint Biomed. Engineering program.<br>
I think you apply through NCSU.</p>

<p>Thanks! I’ll do some research on it. :)</p>

<p>Case Western has an outstanding Biomedical Engineering program. They also offer pretty generous merit aid. It is worth a look. Good luck to you.</p>

<p>Oh, I’ve never heard of Case Western. Thanks for the recommendation.</p>

<p>^I had never heard of it either when I was looking at colleges (many years ago). It may be the location, Cleveland, Ohio, but it has an exceptional reputation, particularly its biomedical engineering and premed programs. It is worth a look.</p>
