<p>Hello, im an accepted student at Georgia Tech for the class of 2017.</p>

<p>Right now I am unsure if I want to go to Medical School or do Masters/MBA after my undergrad.</p>

<p>However due to job stability reasons ( incase i dont get into Medical School), I want to pursue engineering.</p>

<p>Can someone give me insight into the workloads, and their opinions on the professors, classes, and grading for these majors, which I am trying to choose from: BME or EE.</p>

<p>Is BME marketable just after undergrad like EE is? in 4 years how much will it change? Can any juniors or seniors give insight into recruiting in these majors, and undergraduate research opportunities, internships over the summer?</p>

<p>I know majoring in engineering will damage my gpa, however my strengths tend to lie around in the areas of math and science anyway. How difficult is it to obtain a 3.7/3.8+ in these majors, I'm prepared to work my ass of day and night.</p>

<p>Hey, I just finished talking to my uncle who is a Biomedical Engineer, and I have decided that I want to pursue BME at Tech! It completely fascinates me and I am deeply interested in doing it. </p>

<p>I was accepted for ChemE at Tech, is it possible for me to switch into BME? What is the processes for doing so? </p>

<p>I would like to switch to BME before my first day at Tech this fall.</p>

<p>I just found out that you can, I dug up this thread, just incase any of my future classmates want to change their majors too: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/georgia-institute-technology/1279792-changing-majors-before-fall-bme-questions.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/georgia-institute-technology/1279792-changing-majors-before-fall-bme-questions.html&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Thank you soo much!!! I’m stuck between BioMedical Engineering and Electrical Engineering. Can you give some insights of why you picked BioMedical Engineering?</p>

<p>My DS was admitted to GT last year and he went as BME. This sem he has switched to EE after talking to seniors and counselors of EE/CompE/BME/Undecided dept. I think its the perception of BME degree as undergrad student. Also, you can do minor in BME OR you can take a biotech/biomed stream in EE. There are several options available. You can also do a masters in BME after doing undergrad in EE. Anyway, he has made up his mind as of now.</p>

<p>Thanks @mwahal. I decided that I want to do EE because I’m more of a math person and I don’t seem to like Bio that much. I might pursue BME on the future or do a minor like you were saying.</p>
