<p>I'm also applying to Stevens Institute of Technology / Rutgers/ and RPI</p>
<p>I have a parent that was a professor for the Biomedical Engineering Dept at Drexel. She said your stats look good - if anything try to get your SAT up but you are still above Drexel average.</p>
<p>I don’t claim to know too much about Drexel’s admissions, but I am curious about Otters reply. The OP is only in precalculus (hopefully honors) and does not appear to have taken Physics? Would one need a stronger math/science background to get into a biomed engineering program?</p>
<p>They require 4 years of math (algebra I and II, geometry, and trig) and two years of lab science (biology, chemistry, or physics). Precalculus is weighted higher than trigonometry and my assumption is that the OP has at least taken Chem/Physics as they have AP Bio on their senior schedule. Normally you cannot take this course without some background in Chemistry. </p>
<p>You do need a strong math and science background, however as long as you meet their basic requirements, you will be accepted. To do well in the major is where the strength in these two fields will become necessary, but not necessarily for acceptance.</p>
