Biomedical Engineering

<p>Im currently at the Community College of Rhode Island, and I'm planning on transferring to URI for BME. The BME program isn't accredited yet, but I hope it will be by the time i finish all my requirements (spring 2014). I plan on going to medical school after. I have a high G.PA 3.5-4.0. what are your thoughts on this?</p>

<p>Lots of students choose BME as a pre-med degree and it is certainly OK for that. However, one needs to remember that the fundamental discipline is engineering. If you are not all that into engineering, it might be better to choose a major which is equally good for pre-med but does not have the engineering focus, such as Biochemistry. Remember that your grades may not be as high in engineering as in another major and if you end up not going to medical school, your major is what you have to work with.</p>
