<p>I was wondering if you could give me the top schools for BME and econ (or some other business related major that can allow me to get into consulting, althiough I perfer econ)</p>
<p>thanks a lot man.</p>
<p>PS LACs are okay as well, but limit this only to top 3-5 because I'm not too fond of them.</p>
<p>For BME, JHU has the best program. For business, UPenn, MIT, Berkeley(Haas), HYPS, UMich(Ross), NYU(Stern), UNC, USC, UVa, UT-Austin, Emory.</p>

<p>Biomedical Engineering (note - if you want to do this, studying biophysics, physics or any type of engineering as an undergrad, then specializing in grad school is just as good as doing an undergrad BME degree):
Johns Hopkins
Duke
Yale
MIT
Northwestern

<p>Business (this is all about where you go for an MBA - just take a lot of economics, finance and/or mathematics as an undergraduate):
Yale

<p>thanks a lot man. But can I ask you one more thing? Is there any advantage to doing BME as an undergrad, or would it be better to major in an easier subject like biophysics (especially since I'm thinking about going premed)?</p>
<p>Which degree would you rather have if your med school plans change?</p>
<p>I'd rather have BME because its a better degree as far as getting jobs, but can I still do BME and get an MBA, because I definately want to do MBA if I become an engineer. But would this be possible if I have a major in bio?</p>
<p>I've heard that Pomona actually has an excellent economics program.</p>
<p>U Rochester is constructing a new BME building. Given the U of R's strength in biology and medicine, I expect U of R will be an up-and-coming school in BME.</p>
