<p>I'm really going to try hard this year to get my grades up and get more involved. I also plan on volunteering at the St.Louis Science center and get a research internship this summer. However, Im kind of worried about whether or not I can get into the schools that I want to as a Biomedical Engineering major.</p>

<p>Schools I want to go to:
-Duke
-Wash. U
-Georgia Tech
-Johns Hopkins
-University of Michigan
-Boston University
-Case Western Reserve University
-University of Texas(austin)
-UC Berkley
-University of Washington
-Purdue University</p>

<p>Do I have a chance of getting into these schools? Any Advice on building a better application? Any other schools that you know of that have really good Biomedical Engineering program?</p>

<p>Any input would be greatly appreciated :)</p>

<p>I think you could get into Purdue and case and Boston u</p>

<p>Duke probably not: John Hopkins and Michigan reach but I’m no expert </p>
