<p>biomedical engineering is not supposed to be full of pre-meds. It is supposed to be people who want to design the next wave of replacement hips and pacemakers with better materials that won’t wear out and need to be replaced. I doubt it is full of pre-meds as they could probably get better grades in chemistry, biology or bio-chem. As you said engineering is a grade killer. A 3.0 in engineering would be equal to a 3.3 in any other major. Same thing for pharmacy. But I have to ask, Do you want to be a behind the counter pharmasist or a works for big pharma coming up with new drugs and testing them pharmacologist? (Sorry about the spelling)</p>
