<p>milki, you should also check out the jerome fisher m&t program (<a href="http://www.upenn.edu/fisher%5B/url%5D">www.upenn.edu/fisher</a>) in which you can get a dual degree in any engineering field and any business concentration (including bioengineering/finance) in 4 - 4.5 years. even if you're not in jerome fisher, there is still the opportunity to take classes in wharton.</p>
<p>penn's bioengineering program is very medical-oriented, due in part to penn health system (which is a big biomedical research center). johns hopkins is very similar to this penn in this regard. MIT actually has three bioengineering offerings that are basically variations of classic engineering fields: biological engineering (which includes biochem/protein/genetic engineering), chemical-biological engineering (which is basically a chemical engineering degree w/ biology classes for pharmaceutical/biotech development) and a concentration under mechanical engineering for biomechanics. out of the UC system, UCSD probably has the best bioengineering department, but berkeley's program is strong too (and it has a great business school). i'm not too familiar with cornell's program, but I'm pretty sure it isn't as strong as some of the other schools you mentioned.</p>
<p>here are some statistics for those who got in last year (class of 2010):

<p>there was a discussion a few days ago in the business majors forum about double majoring in bioengineering and business: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=299075%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=299075</a></p>
