<p>Hello ,
I talked about this in another forum but i
I'd like to here some more input. So I'm a junior in high school searching for the right path for me to take in college. I am very interested in Biomedical Engineering and also Neurology. I think of having a background in those two and using the Neurology side as my main profession (probably opening my own practice or work in a hospital etc.) but I'd also like to use my BME background to work in prosthesis that connects with the brain etc. Is this a realistic thing to do? The fact that I see minimal info online makes me wonder if it is or not. if it is, what route would you recommend? like schools majors pr anything. Thanks for any input.</p>
<p>are you think double major?
It would be difficult to double engineering with something else. Another problem could be finding a “good” school that offers programs in both of these.</p>
<p>no i want to study bme as an undergrad then go to med school for neurology. sorry should’ve made myself clearer</p>
<p>BME + pre med = no social life </p>
<p>If you add a neuro minor to that idk</p>
<p>(depends on the school)</p>
<p>BME + pre med is still fine considering that the BME major covers majority of the pre med requirements. However, doing well in the classes is the hard part</p>
<p>BME with a strong EE focus would be my best advice. You would probably have to get a master’s because BME itself doesn’t provide you enough engineering background to be good at the engineering side. You will learn tons on the Neurology side during residency. BME teaches you a little about everything but not everything about any one engineering discipline.</p>
<p>why do BME if your goal is to ultimately become a doctor? You can do something easy like history with premed. Non-science majors actually have a higher chance of getting into med school.</p>
<p>BME majors on average score the highest on the MCAT. The major, like any engineering major, will be very hard.</p>
