<p>I am a prospective student for fall 08, and i am deciding btw a few universities. </p>
<p>does anybody know much about the BME program at Uconn? I know that it is accredited, but i wanted to know if u feel the program prepares u well. Also, as Uconn is "in the middle of nowhere," can u still get good research and work experience in the bme field. </p>
<p>I also want to pursue a career in medicine, do u feel that Uconn prepares u well for it? Would it be hard to maintain a high gpa doing both the BME and pre-med track? Are there enough clinical volunteer experiences to help u in applying to med school?</p>
<p>I'm not BME or engineering at all for that matter, though I do know a bunch of them. I do know, however, that you can definitely got a lot of research experience here; there are many professors willing to let you work in their labs.</p>
<p>As for the premed thing... it depends entirely on your own abilities, but it will probably be harder to maintain a high GPA as an engineer. There are a lot of clinical and volunteering opportunities, especially through Community Outreach. Most of them are not on campus, but for the ones that are run through Community Outreach, transportation is provided.</p>
