<p>Hi so I have a couple of questions about the BME program for FFSEAS. If there are any current SEAS students lurking around some answers would be really appreciated.</p>

<p>I'm a senior this fall and I am really interested in applying ED for FFSEAS, specifically because I have an interest for the BME and because I love NYC =)
However there are two main things that I am worried about for this program. I've looked up Md/Phd programs for top 20 institutions but I haven't seen many Columbia FFSEAS graduates studying there, let alone any BME majors... Do BME graduates usually end up at lower tier Md/Phd, Md, graduate schools??
Also how difficult is the BME major? I mean it can't be as difficult grade wise compared to JHU BME, but is it impossible to achieve a gpa of 3.6+? Relatively how many students achieve such a grade?
I've tried looking up information on the Columbia BME website but I didn't come up with much so any answers would be really appreciated. Thanks.</p>

<p>if any of your questions arent answered by my post there or any of my posts when you do a thorough search of "BME" or "Biomedical Engineering" let me know. I'm a senior BME student.</p>

<p>Also, its SEAS not FFSEAS. :)</p>
