<p>I was wondering. I've been looking at a lot of colleges for Biomedical Engineering. Johns Hopkins looks like one of the best, but I just wanted to see if anybody who goes there could tell me.</p>
<p>I dont go there..but YES it is the absolute best school for BME in the world</p>
<h1>2 is probably Duke..but nothing comes close to BME at JHU</h1>
<p>I wouldnt say best in the world, but I would says its very good. Many unranked schools are just as good, but don't get ranked highly, yet take all of those schools professors.</p>
<p>The rankings are based largely on the reputations of the graduate programs and of faculty who rarely teach undergraduates. You should investigate the undergraduate curriculum at each college that interests you. Go to the department web sites and review the course requirements and descriptions for each semester. Look specifically at the faculty who teach each course, the average number of students in each required and elective BME class, the areas of concentration offered by the BME program, and the faculty members who utilize undergraduates in their research.</p>
<p>For what it's worth, if you review the credentials of the top faculty in many of the ranked programs you will find that the majority of the very best did not attend one of the so-called top ranked BME schools for undergrad.</p>
<p>The major has a 50% dropout rate, as I found out when I visited the school in May. So, yeah, it is one of the best programs in the world, but not everyone can handle it.</p>
<p>That dropout rate stands pretty much everywhere in the country. Its a really intense major, so it takes a certain kind of person to handle it. Thats why lots of BME's in medical school say med school is very comparable to undergrad.</p>
