<p>Hi, I'm so lucky to be admitted to these two schools! But I'm struggling too...</p>
<p>I'm an international transfer student.
My major is bioengineering/biomedical engineering...But both these two schools are famous for enginnering majors!!!</p>
<p>Which one is better for me if I want to persue my graduate study in medicine(or agriculture)?</p>
<p>Just ignore the factor of tuition...</p>
<p>Case is more widely known and more tightly affiliated with medicine. Union College is fine, but overshadowed by RPI in the immediate vicinity, and WPI/Clarkson/RIT etc. in the region.</p>
<p>Union is only overshadowed by those schools you mentioned in the minds of engineering students and parents. Rightfully so. But Union stands at least as an equal in most of the sciences and, certainly, humanities and arts. Union also has a unique relationship with several professional schools in the Capital Region. It is a part of Union University, a federation that includes such constituent institutions as Union College, Albany Medical College, Albany College of Pharmacy and Albany Law School.</p>
<p>That said, Case is more widely known in most parts of the US and with the University Medical Center and Cleveland Clinic as affiliated institutions/neighbors the resources available to someone studying medicine are world class. If you opt for agriculture, however, wouldn’t someplace like Cornell or Ohio State make more sense?</p>
<p>Case, hands down. BME is what Case is known for! You can apply anywhere for graduate school, but Case is so well known for being great in the sciences and especially engineering, that many people look at it as a boost on their graduate school resumes (having come from such a strong and well known science school).</p>
<p>Both are excellent schools. But adding in the medical school admissions factor, I’d say Case is better than Union in getting its students admitted to med school. Just don’t continue to believe that majoring in Biomedical Engineering will give your med school candidacy an extra boost. It won’t, since these majors are now overrepresented in the medical school applicants pool. Remember, there’s a quota for everything.</p>
