<p>I received the Banneker/Key full tuition scholarship to the university of Maryland. I want to study BME and I am having a tough time deciding between Northwestern and Maryland. I have an internship at Maryland already but I'm sure ill be able to find one at Northwestern. Help!</p>
<p>Well… what questions do you have? I can forward them on to a friend of mine who’s studying BME here.</p>
<p>How rigorous is the BME program? And are the professors in that department friendly and open to giving extra help?</p>
<p>Well, BME includes the gen chem and orgo sections, which are pretty grueling. They’re weed-out courses for the pre-med students, too.</p>
<p>I’ll be back with better answers as soon as I can.</p>
<p>Generally speaking, though, my profs have all been really available and super helpful. No one who’s more interested in research than students.</p>
