Biomedical engineering v. Mechanical

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>Hello all</p>

<p>I am deciding what major I would want to do in college and I am deciding between biomedical and mechanical engineering. However, I do have a few questions:
1. Is it possible to do get a bachelors in biomedical engineering in the US and then do med school in Europe?
2. How good are the chances of getting into med school with a biomedical engineering degree?</p>

<p>Thanks for your help!</p>

<li><p>Yes. Be warned that returning to the US for residency or practice is very difficult.</p></li>
<li><p>Choice of undergraduate major does not affect your chances of admission to medical school. (All other factors aside, engineering majors are not more likely to be admitted than English majors.)</p></li>
