<p>CMU doesn't have any sort of premed program, so keep that in mind while applying there.</p>

<p>Doesn't Caltech have that UCSD Medical Scholars partnership program?</p>

<p>Thanks RacinReaver. I saw your many posts earlier. Very helpful. I knew that you graduated from CMU and Caltech now. </p>

<p>I would like to apply to CMU for SCS /CIT and pursue a minor in Biomed. Any comments.</p>

<p>THanks in advance</p>

<p>A minor in biomed shouldn't be very difficult, as biomed engineering is made to be a double major, so their classes are designed in such a way it's not so hard to take them. I think it should cover your lab science requirements as CS, and shouldn't be too hard to work in in CIT. I think you're required to have a minor in CS, and one in biomed would probably be a little distinctive within the CS school.</p>

<p>What would you like to do for a career?</p>

<p>I would like to work on Medical Imaging technologies such as CT Scan, MRI technologies which require heavy computer science and understanding of Biomedical technology.</p>

<p>Eventually, either I do masters in Biomed, or pursue Medical school.</p>
