Financial Aid?

<p>Thanks! We're happy because we think it's JUST enough aid to make attendance feasible. Good luck to the other applicants!</p>

<p>Yeah speaking of biomedical at Rose- what do you think about the program?? Should you just go into mechanical instead?? I don't know...I'm thinking about going for Bio. though because it is much more interesting to me...Hmm decisions, decisions! And congrats on the $$! I got about 9,000 and my stats were not nearly as high as yours, but I'm a girl-which is kinda sad that it is based on that, but it looks like it is.. But my point is- my parents went to Rose and asked for more because of financial reasons, gpa, etc. and we got a little more too! So definately think about it!</p>

<p>I would be a little leery of majoring in biomedical engineering at ANY college out there, really, because the field's so new and relatively undefined. I don't really know if there's much of a standard curriculum for biomed stuff, unlike the EE, ME, Civil E, etc. programs that have been set in stone for a while (although they will change as technology changes, obviously). I'm planning on majoring in EE at Rose and doing grad work in biomed stuff...seems like the way to go these days. But I'd ask your counselor when you get to Rose...he could tell you better.</p>

<p>As far as asking for more money goes -- I'd encourage everyone to do that! I initially got $7,000 in merit aid, my parents appealed for more, and Rose bumped us up to $9,000. But we got another letter a week or two later bumping my aid up to $11,000 total. It was well worth the effort.</p>

<p>There are several Biomed programs in the country that are ABET accredited programs. Go to their website to find them. You can also ask the colleges if and when their programs will be accredited.</p>
