<p>Hello! I'd appreciate any advice on choosing between these colleges:</p>
<p>CMU, Penn, WashU, Tufts, Case Western Reserve, Boston U.</p>
<p>I am planning on going into BME, although I'm not totally sure yet. Money-wise, I got $23,000 from Case, $14,000 at CMU and practically nothing at TUfts, Penn, and WashU. BU--half tuition, but I'm not really considering BU as much as the other ones.</p>
<p>Case is the best for BME of all those schools</p>
<p>yeah i agree.... case is awesome for BME</p>
<p>Besides Case though (it's too close to home!)...how do the others compare? Right now I'm vacillating between CMU and Penn. </p>
<p>Also, I'm afraid that I won't stick to BME, so in that sense of having more options, Penn is better (I think?) but CMU's engineering program overall is ranked higher than Penn.</p>
<p>What to do what to do?? (Thanks in advance for your replies!)</p>
<p>When you say you want more options, does that mean strictly in the engineering school? If so, then I would choose CMU since it is a much more engineering-focused school. If by options you mean business/liberal arts, then I would go to Penn.</p>
<p>If you think you might want to do other engineering than BME, then you should go to CMU. CMU has a better engineering program than Penn, and it offers you some scholarship. If you don't mind to pay the money and enjoy an ivy league school, then go to Penn.</p>
<p>I would say that it should boil down to Case or Penn...but Case will only cost you $20,000, whereas Penn will cost you an extra $25,000/year. I think Penn is a more reputable and more well-rounded university...but is it worth spending an addtional $100,000 for a Penn degree? Only you can decide.</p>
<p>i would choose between Washington U-st. louis and Penn, if I had to do this all over again. I would probably goto Washington U.</p>
<p>Why WashU?</p>
<p>CMU is impressive & great in robotics in particular.</p>
<p>I went to Penn & its great too, but CMU seems a bit more progressive in ME to me.</p>
<p>Washington U to many people is overranked in USnews, but they have excellent students, their departments are solid and the campus looks pretty nice.</p>
<p>OMG do you ppl realize that CMU doesnt even offer a BME major??? only a double with another engineering. I love CMU, but for you i would say do not come here. We are an great school, but not in every single area. esp BME</p>
