<p>When I was doing research on college majors, Biomedical Engineering really popped out for me. But after reading the threads here on CC, the general consensus is to pursue a more traditional engineering discipline for undergrad, which would allow you to work in biomedical jobs, and maybe get a Master's in Biomedical Engineering later.</p>
<p>I'm interested in the chemical engineering aspect of Biomedical Engineering (such as tissue engineering), so I was initially set on studying Chemical Engineering (hopefully with a concentration in biomedical). However, it's starting to look like Biomedical Engineering is mostly Electrical Engineering, and I'd rather do Electrical Engineering if it would better encompass and prepare me for Biomedical Engineering later on. </p>
<p>However, Chemical Engineering is really versatile and would allow me to work in a different field if my interests change. I'm pretty sure they won't, but it's something to take into account.</p>
<p>I'm really sorry if I have any misconceptions. ): There's a lot more research I can still do. Just trying to figure things out, and it's getting confusing.</p>
<p>Also, does the staying-away-from-undergrad-BME still apply to undergraduate BME programs at top-ranked schools in the field such as Hopkins?</p>
