<p>How difficult is it to get into BME applying ed?</p>

2

<p>its impossible unless u got over 700 on all ur sat's. also they like to see a commitment to team sport, ex. no missed games/practices. dat is, unless you crash it with the g's in da hood, like me.</p>

<p>Do a search of old college confidential posts, as this has been answered many, many times. You may also want to check out the Hopkins Forums as the question has been answered there too: <a href="http://z14.invisionfree.com/Hopkins_Forums%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://z14.invisionfree.com/Hopkins_Forums&lt;/a>. </p>

<p>And obviously, just ignore posts from AAfoDaURM, who cleary has a different agenda.</p>

<p>BME appears to be majorly competitive to be admitted... but what do you expected from the #1 program in the country/planet? It's worth it.</p>

5

<p>It seems easier to transfer into BME once you're at Hopkins. Not really sure about that though.</p>

6

<p>I don't think it is...actually it's probably even more difficult. I hear transferring into BME is rare to almost unheard of.</p>

<p>It's not unheard of, but it's pretty difficult. I have no idea how many people applied to transfer after my freshman year, but about half a dozen to a dozen people transferred in. People who transfer are generally engineers (since they have taken the same freshman classes) who have done really well (grade-wise) freshman year</p>

<p>About transferring into BME after freshman year ...
... there is a slight chance an opportunity to transfer into the major may arrive at the end of one's freshman year, but this is not guaranteed each year. In fact, the year that tanman is referring to was a rare occassion where there were a number of spots (10-12) in the BME class open for rising sophomores. Last year that number was even less (6?) and in the coming years the expectation is even lower as the BME classes have been over-enrolled. </p>

<p>The only realistic way of being admitted into the BME program is as a freshman applicant to the program who is offered admission to both the University and the BME program.</p>
