So these are the schools I am somewhat interested in. I am only a junior, but I am sure I want to major in biomedical engineering or biomedical sciences and attend med school. So far I am a little worried that my extracurriculars and standardized testing are not up to par… if someone would please give me any insight on whether I have a chance for any of these schools. If not, can you give me some recommended schools for my level? Thanks!
