[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, my daughter is interested in biomedical! Question for the Hopkins grad, a friend of ours was an adjunct there and basically discouraged us from applying. He said it is so uber-competitive and she would hate her college experience. What was it like for you?[/quote]

Hopkins person here. Love working there but your friend is right although BME has a great projects/design class. [/quote]

Bummer. We've heard that BME is outstanding at Hopkins. But, also heard that many (most) grads aspire for medical school. [/quote]

Yes, BME is outstanding at Hopkins. But very cutthroat bc many BMEs are angling for med school. There should be a true engineering path to separate pre-meds from non-pre-meds. (This was also my complaint about orgo.) I was a civil engineering major, with an env. engineering minor (I know it's now a major as well.) My civil engineering class had 15 students total - 5 were women. There were more females in the Env. Eng. minor (picked up some folks from chemical engineering). Loved the access to the professors in both programs. And I was asked to stay on and get a Ph.D from one of the (male) professors, along with a full ride and stipend. [/quote]
