<p>How does a biomedical engineering major affect the admission rates of Johns Hopkins, Duke, and Northwestern? If I were to apply to Duke or Northwestern BME, would my chances be better than if I were to apply to JHU since JHU has the best BME program. Or would Duke and Northwestern still be tougher colleges to get into simply because they are all around better schools than JHU. The reason I ask is because I want to major in BME, and at first was really interested in JHU- however, after hearing about the competitive and dull environment, I've started to have my doubts.</p>
