*Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 3.78. Freshman - 3.2, Sophomore - 4.09, Junior - 4.04. Yeah my freshman year sucked lol. School gives 4.3 for A+s, but no weighted grades.

<p>^BU and Rochester? Also SUNY Binghamton, which I’m not worried about</p>

<p>man, we both got f-'ed by Cornell CALS’s bioengineering department big time )): haha</p>

<p>I think you’re a go for Umich, Northwestern, Emory, BU. Johns Hopkins might be a bit of a reach for bioengineering (maybe consider a different major?) Asians and engineering rarely result in happiness lol.</p>

5

<p>hey man. haha I was just about to post on your thread.
UMich, Northwestern, and BU have become my #1 choices now, since they all have great biomedical engineering programs.</p>

<p>You might consider Case Western in Cleveland. Great BME program and excellent merit aid.</p>

9

<p>Maybe Rice?</p>

<p>thanks for the suggestions! I’ll look into Case Western, but I think Rice is a bit too far</p>

<p>idkididk - your story is like my S - high SAT (2190) and strong everywhere else but rejected from Cornell ED (instead they took legacies who are not great students). Should have no problems with BU for one. You’ll be fine.</p>
