<p>Hi guys l. Im a senior in hs. I was accepted to Drexel University witha quite generous scholorship. I would like to major in Biomedical engineering. Can anyone suggest if drexel is a good school and what subcatagory I should do in biomedical engineering (like natotechnology etc.)
Thanks!</p>
<p>Drexel is a perfectly fine school for engineering: it is one of the [Association</a> of Independent Technological Universities: AITU](<a href=“http://theaitu.org%5DAssociation”>http://theaitu.org) schools. As for a specialization, I suggest that you decide that after your first year when you know a bit more about the BME field. Your first year will involve taking courses which are common for all of the specializations.</p>
<p>Thanks for the great input! Do you think Biomedical engineering can good prospects in future. Salary and job wise.</p>
<p>Most people will state that you need at least a Masters to land a “good” job in BME. That is not to say that you won’t find employment with a Bachelors degree. Plus, going to Drexel you will have solid work experience from your coops.</p>
<p>For jobs with a Bachelor’s, a more traditional engineering major is probably better but the Biomedical Engineering field is still relatively new so perhaps that will change. I know that most of the students in our BME program at Illinois Institute of Technology either go to graduate school or medical school.</p>
<p>That is true. Now I was considering to change it to a Computer engineer degree and get a PhD later. Would their be a difference in either fields in terms of salary and job prospects?</p>
<p>Hello MrAdviceSeeker.
When did you complete your Drexel application and when did you hear from them?</p>
<p>And if I may ask, what are your stats?</p>
<p>I completed my app via VIP Oct 8th, and since this is my top choice, I’m very impatient to hearing from them.</p>
<p>Oh and I also applied Drexel Biomed BS/MS and how much merit grant did they give you?</p>
<p>@jiza95.
I got the acceptance email last week.
Stats: 90 GPA (I took only honors and AP classes). My HS is ranked one of the best in US.
I got a 2250 on SAT. (750 each section)
I had A LOT of ec’s
I got a $22K scholorship + 4k legacy scholorship. </p>
<p>Hbu?</p>
<p>When did you apply, was it EA?</p>
<p>94.88 UW 98 W
Honors classes
3 AP (only senior year)
I put down only 2-3 extracurriculars
27 Act</p>
<p>It’s really nerve-racking because Drexel is basically my dream college and a 3 week wait seems like 3 years hahahah.</p>
<p>I’m also afraid that I won’t get in or not enough scholarship. I used the net calculator on their website and it said I’ll get an estimated 20k merit grant, but I don’t know how accurate that is.</p>
<p>Yes to EA. Btw why did you choose BME major? Im considering changing mine to like coputer engineering or electronic.</p>
<p>Friends daughter is a senior bio engineering student at Drexel. They do have a way for good students to earn a masters during their 5 yr co op program.</p>
<p>She has had excellent well paying co ops and all have requested that she apply for full time jobs.</p>
