<p>Is that really true? It's been said that Biomedical Engineering has a strong focus on biomedical engineering and chemical engineering. Can anyone attest to this?</p>
<p>If you are really that concerned about chemical engineering, and you have the stats to get accepted, then I’m sure there are other schools that would be much better for chemical engineering. Try MIT: same city, different location, better engineering.</p>
<p>Yeah, MIT is better known for engineering, but is it true that Harvard has no chemical engineering?</p>
<p>Oh hey look, I googled that for you!</p>

<p>Haha, thanks.</p>
<p>But for those who are at Harvard, or those who are knowledgeable, do you know if the Biomedical Engineering track is very populated? Is that the most popular engineering major? I’m kind of worried about being “lonely” in a major. I’d like it if there are lots of other students doing it too.</p>
<p>Also, does anyone have statistics for these things? I’d like to do chemical engineering, but since there isn’t one, I might just go do chemistry.</p>
<p>Yaa I’m a history major. Can’t help you from personal experience. Hope you do find somebody who can, though.</p>

<p>If you don’t want to go to Mit for whatever reason, Yale has chemical engineering, as well as a great engineering campus (1-1 faculty ratio) while offering basically the same old America/prestigious university resources that Harvard has. Even if you’re already attached to Harvard, I strongly suggest you visit both. I’m a Harvard guy, but Yale is frankly equally spectacular just as far as the campus personality goes. Visit both.</p>
<p>if you really like Harvard and that’s just where you want to go, there’s always the opportunity to cross-register at MIT. Harvard actually has some pretty interesting chemical engineering & materials science courses and of course MIT has everything you would ever need as any type of engineer.</p>
<p>I’m not too familiar with the engineering department, but very few people I know are interested in engineering of any kind. Because Harvard’s physics, math, and chemistry departments are considered among of the very best in the country, plus MIT is right there next door, most, I think, go with pure chem or physics.</p>

<p>Dwight and exultationsy can perhaps tell you more, but I wouldn’t call engineering of any kind very populated. I think people who choose engineering precisely because they appreciate the small department. If you’re looking for a school with engineering emphasis, MIT, Georgia Tech, UIUC, Michigan, among many other schools are much better options. Probably not Yale either :). You should consider giving MIT a look, because it’s right here in the same area, and you can cross register courses between the two schools.</p>
