<p>Thought it was what I wanted and I did not get in,
I am looking at JHU's Materials engineering/ Biomaterials concentration. I read that a lot of BME majors who concentrate in tissues and whatnot take many of the same classes.
Though of course its not the same as BME's prestige can anyone tell me whether bio-Materials Engineering would be a good major at JHU? Do non BME majors at JHU get the short end of the stick or are they taken seriously?
Would going to Carnegie Mellon for their double major in Materials Engineering and BME program? or even UMD's Bioengineering program? Be better than JHU's non-BME program? Also it might be in favor of JHU if I say that I am interested in going to Dental school afterwards (possibly), if i don't just stay in engineering But no matter what I'm either getting a masters in Engineering or Dental, some type of graduate.
Thanks for the feedback.</p>
<p>Most engineers @ JHU are not in BME, in fact about 75% of the class are not and they fall into Materials, Environmental, Civil, Applied Math, ChemBiomolec, etc. The programs all have top faculty and are all heavily focused on design and creativity:</p>

<p>Would you say though that it is better than engineering at Carnegie Mellon?</p>
<p>Define better. I think quality is roughly equal at both places.</p>
<p>Well if one school (CMU) was giving me 5000 more in Scholarship would that bring them over the top? also, if I initially wanted to Major in BME, do you think that just being at JHU would be good or would it not affect me (remember I wasn’t accepted to it). And on that subject do you think CMU’s is weak in BME or would it be enough(since at least there i can get a BME degree(even if i have to double major)?</p>
<p>I think the cost is negligible at this point given your situation. I think the best option for you would be** Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at Hopkins **which is one of the other options for you since you weren’t admitted to BME. The differences in the program are really not that different and you can still do cell and tissue engineering etc.</p>
<p>My own personal feeling is that CMU is all engineering-centric which tends to attract similar students while JHU has a open liberal arts curriculum which has all different types of students in different majors. You’ll take classes in the liberal arts.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t base the decision solely on BME as you probably haven’t done any BME work yet in your life so while you think you may like it, it’s possible you don’t. Look at the non-academic factors like location, weather, size etc. </p>
