<p>what about biomedical engineering undergrad? thanks</p>

<p>There is no biomedical engineering undergrad program at Virginia Tech. It's all a graduate program with the Wake Forest School of Medicine. Unless you are pre-med, do not major in biomedical engineering as an undergrad. Major in electrical or mechanical engineering as an undergrad, and then get a Ph.D in biomedical engineering. Biomedical engineering is not a good choice for an undergraduate major. If you really want to do it, go for a B.S.E.E. and study biomedical engineering as a concentration within E.E. The B.S.E.E. is a much more established and respected degree (probably the most respected bachelor's degree there is) and will let you do just about anything you want. A biomedical B.S. will seriously limit you and it will be difficult to find a job.</p>

<p>Also, rankings are b.s. for engineering, everyone knows that. Virginia Tech is by far the best engineering school in the state and one of the best in the region. The program is top-notch, but be aware that it's a research university, which means you won't have somebody holding your hand guiding you like you would at a teaching university like Harvery-Mudd; you've got to make your own opportunities.</p>

<p>atomi: when you say concentration in BME, does it mean to take electives related to BME or take extra classes (like you're minoring in BME or something) ?</p>
