Charger 3 asked: I will be going to college next fall, and I ‘m interested in biomedical engineering because I want to be better prepared to get into a medical school. I was wondering…
1. What kind of courses you take if you major in biomedical engineering?

2. Also, do I need to apply to a engineering college in a university to take a biomedical engineering major? Or can I apply to a science&arts college?

3. How is it compared to a biology or biochemistry major? Is biomedical engineering a lot harder?

madeulo0k asked: If a person doesnt do so well in the chemistry and biology classes, what are the chances of him/her getting into a new york city medical school, and what should be done to get in as well, besides good mcat grades?…

booda2009 asked: For example, say I end up going to Michigan Tech, which doesn’t have a medical school. After getting my bachelor’s degree in, say, biological science, it would be possible to go to the medical school at a school like Wayne State or MSU, wouldn’t it (assuming that I could get in)? Is it anymore difficult that way? I mean, will it be significantly harder to get into medical school if the college I attend doesn’t actually have one?…

Snack It Up Healthy Style asked: If I am a college student taking heavy science classes at 15 credits per semester, how many credits do you predict I will take once I get into medical school?

Someone told me (who did not go to medical school) it is much more than 15 credits and you basically have to have no social life to keep up with it all. I hear you can take many classes pass/fail so you don’t have to perfect all of those classes though in certain medical schools.
