<p>I'm looking to transfer in 1 or 2 years because I dont like the school Im in right now+they dont have the major I want. I want to later go to medschool and want to be i a better undergrad school before. I want to major in either Biol, Chemical, or Biochemical engineering. I'm thinking about the following. Please tell me what you think about there Programs and add some if you think theyre better:</p>
<p>NYU
Northwestern
Brown
Cornell
UC (not sure which one)
UF</p>
<p>…hello???</p>
<p>i say those schools are pretty good from what ive heard, but im not sure about cheme field. Regarding the UC’s, I would say either UC berkeley or UCSB should be fine.</p>
<p>BME = #1 @ Johns Hopkins!</p>
<p>Top UCs for ChemE are like someone else said, UCSB and UCB. UCSD is definitely the best at anything Bio-related though. Definitely a top 5 school.</p>
<p>Yeah I know bout J Hopkins just dont see them really taking me…
Thanks for the UC information. I thought UCB was one of the better ones for the field.
What about the other ones I listed?
I’m having trouble finding schools with biochem engineering, instead Im only finding Biomed, which isnt really what I want.</p>
<p>quite a few (if not many) schools have biochem engg under chemical engineering department. that’s why you see schools with names like “chemical and biological engineering”. </p>
<p>nyu should be excluded. for uc, berkeley is great obviously. ucsd is quite good for bioengineering, but i’m not sure about their biochem engg (chemical). northwestern has chemical engineering major with the option of a biochemical engg certificate. some faculty have joint appointment at the biomedical engg dept. it’s relatively transfer friendly so it’s definitely a decent option.</p>
<p>other schools you may want to take a look are cornell, duke (biomed but no chemical engg), wisconsin, case western reserve (strong bioengg) and upenn (strong bioengg).</p>
<p>Been a while. What are the transfer acceptance rates for those schools? Ive noticed not to many schools offer Biochem engineering so I guess I’ll stay with either Biomed or Chem.</p>
<p>If medical school is your goal, I have said it once and I’ll say it again, an engineering degree will be rough on your GPA. I’m not trying to scare you but just make sure you are aware of that–I have seen many engineers who think that their harder curriculum will earn them “bonus points” and still get rejected from medical school for lower (3.5ish) GPAs.</p>
<p>Add Rice University–top notch BME/biological program and it’s literally across the street from Texas Medical Center.</p>
