<p>How competitive is BME at UT Austin? I'm wondering if I should apply to MechE and try to transfer in if BME is really hard to get into. </p>
<p>Thanks! </p>
<p>PS. BME is Biomedical Engineering, and MechE is Mechanical Engineering for those who didn't know</p>
<p>BME is VERY competitive because it is such a small department (relatively speaking!). I think ME would be a better bet. Also keep in mind that with a bachelor’s degree in BME, you would probably need to go to graduate school in order to get a job. With ME, you could get a job straight out of school much easier. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks @MaineLonghorn! </p>
