<p>I'm looking to major in BME, but I don't really know how to compare different programs. I know Duke and Hopkins both have incredible programs. How do schools like Northwestern, Vanderbilt, and Wash U compare? And what about Ivy League schools like Yale, Brown, and Cornell? (I know Yale has a relatively new program so it's not as well established.)</p>
<p>I found this list online: Biomedical</a> | Rankings | US News but I'm not really interested in any of those schools, other than Hopkins, Duke, and GT. And all of those other schools I'm interested in apparently haven't made the top 10 in BME, so I would really appreciate any help in comparing their programs.</p>
<p>Check out Rice. Its relationship with the Texas Medical Center (MD Anderson, Texas Children’s, St. Luke’s, Methodist, Ben Taub, Baylor College of Medicine–all within walking distance of Rice) provides incredible opportunities for undergraduate jobs and research.</p>
<p>Wash U is great for bme. And did you know that the biomedical engineering major began there as a create your own major program thing? I am also looking to major in BME and visited wash u. That is where they told me about being the first BME major. (but duke was first accredited program I believe)</p>
<p>Any of those you mentioned are good. My classmate valedictorian did his at brown & he also applied to wash u. I imagine columbia, cornell, mit, caltech, git, umichigan are all dittos. I will also mention check into the 2nd tier of engineering schools for safety choices. A biomed eng. Major will also allow you to obtain a grad degree as a med student, physics, or bus. Adm.</p>
