<p>Haven’t read the whole thread, but Tulane no longer has an engineering school. They do still offer some engineering majors, like BME and chemical, I believe, but if your child wants to switch to a different engineering field, they won’t be able to.</p>
<p>Highly recommend Miami. I was a marine science major there, and as such, took the same math and physics as the engineering majors. A good friend just got the Singer scholarship, full ride, to study civil engineering. Loving it. Can’t beat the weather, the beauty of the campus, the arts and entertainment opportunities. </p>
<p>Son very much like yours, interested in BME, and we looked at many of your schools. Ruled out a lot because of weather and distance from home. We are in New Orleans. I thought Maryland, Pitt and CMU would be great fits for him, and are strong possibilities for grad school, as he knows there are no career options for him locally. </p>
<p>Son is currently at Bama, with a full ride in a great research honors program. Even though he is a mechanical engineering major, as they do not have BME as a major, he is doing biomedical engineering research. UAB is a good option, if he’s interested in medicine, and Birmingham is a very nice city with lots of cultural activities.</p>
