<p>hey, i'm also bme and planning on med school, if i survive this major. Didn't that guy also say that out of those 20 %, most to all do get accepted into med schools?</p>
<p>Thanks for the info! I would assume the 20% that do continue on the med school get into awesome schools to say the least. I want to go to med school, but I'm not sure if I want to go through the BME program rather than biochem or something of the sort. For those of you planning on going to med school . . . why are you going through BME (considering it is engineering)? Is it because the type of doctor you want to be? I'm a bit confused b/c sangria said in a post that many BME students felt they were not ready for med school or something. </p>
<p>I'm super confused. Sorry guys!</p>
<p>Ah, nevermind. I guess students wanting to continue to med school get a Bachelor of Arts in BME? Is that correct (rather than a B.S.). Also, is it possible to double major (say in something completely random like IR or Psychology) and BME? I bet that would be extremely difficult and advised against, huh?</p>
<p>yea, most of the 20% do get into med school. he said that only 20% go not because they are incapable of handling or getting into med school, but because the rest who thought they were gonna go into med changed their mind along the way</p>
<p>i would never double major w/ bme... way too much stress... its one of the most rigorous and time consuming programs on campus.</p>
<p>you were there right kam, on the 19th. i couldnt find anyone from this forum which ruined my day .... :(</p>
<p>also, i read somewhere on this forum that although jhu does have that 99% acceptance into med school, the schools they are admitted arent top tier like jhu's. This is because teh competitiveness and grades based on a curve so one's gpa will be on the average lower than that of the other ivy and top tier undergraduate schools... another thing to think about</p>
<p>I'm going to be a BME at Hopkins next year. Dr. Shoukas said in his presentation at the 4/12 open house that the med school acceptance rate from the BME program was 98%. I was up there for a scholarship interview and I asked my interviewers about what humanfugative said - that JHU's BME's have lower GPA's and may not get into the top med schools. They said that the JHU name, and the BME program in particular compensate for the slightly lower GPA's that Hopkins applicants to the top med schools have.</p>
<p>Also, about having a double major - They said that about 40% of BME students pursue a second degree. Most get a minor, commonly in math (because its only a few more courses) or the Management program, but there are some who do a double major.</p>
<p>hey vikram... yea i was there... me, and 3 other CCers waited outside levering for like 15 extra minutes, and no1 showed up.. really sry bout that.. but there is always orientation... c u then!</p>
