BU vs UCSD for bio(medical) engineering

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>I'm pretty conflicted between bu and ucsd for bme. I know ucsd has a top notch bme program, but i personally don't like san diego that much. bu overall as a school does rank much lower (57th i think) and their bme program is about 6th best in nation, but how important are rankings? i plan on going to grad school and getting a masters in bme, so would going to a less prestigious school (bu) hurt my chances? plus bu in general and bu's bme program isnt that terrible is it?</p>

<p>thanks for your insight</p>

<p>BU has good engineering school also. What about cost? Are you from CA? UCSD is an excellent school for this major. It's too bad you don't like San Diego.</p>
