UPenn Engineering vs. JHU BME

<p>Where should I go?
Even biased comments are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>JHU BME is probably the #1 program in the country.</p>

<p>Purely on an academic level, I would choose JHU.</p>

<p>I wanna get MBA after college.
How does it change my decision then?</p>

<p>BE is quickly becoming one of Penn's strengths.. a new building completely dedicated to BE and BME is going to completed sometime before the end of the year I believe. </p>

<p>JHU probably does have a better program, and I'm sure you'd be very happy there as well.. Just make sure you consider other factors besides pure academics.. you're only in class for about 20 hours a week..</p>

<p>Yeah...Same question here, Ihave been accepted to both too, and also going to major in BME and minor in business, Idk which school to go. If I went to PENN, business is good, but engineering is not that impressive, if i went to JHU, opposite happens. Though my favorite school is cornell(which I also got into), but my parent will force me to go either JHU or PENN. Now they seemed to push me to go to PENN, because of its reputation and ranking thing...sigh, every asian parent is like that...</p>

<p>Penn Engineering gets a bad rep because of our relatively small size.. it we were larger, we'd almost certainly be higher in the rankings, and even now we continue to get higher every year ( I think we're at 19 or 20 this year.)</p>

<p>I would second mnasy1122. For the same reason that our class is small, you get much more attention and contact with the prof. I am a freshman in BE. My biggest class size this year has been no more than 40ppl. including the intro. courses. On the flip side, that makes the curve a lot harsher. I am looking forwards to the new building and taking some classes at Wharton in the coming years. I feel I am getting the best of both worlds.
BTW, Penn grad schools seem to show a tendency of taking their own undergrad. I hope that helps.</p>

<p>i'm also a freshman in BE, and BE rocks at penn :)
The new building is going to be awesome....state of the art.</p>

<p>i'm also trying to decide between the two, plus a dozen others. how do you think penn BE and jhu BME compare in regard to medical school after undergrad?</p>

<p>Penn BE has a BAS program that would be more suitable for pre-med, rather than the more rigorous BSE.</p>
