What looks better on a medical school application: BME major with a 3.0 GPA or biology major with a 3.8 GPA?
Medical schools know how rigorous the BME program is, the kinds of classes that are included in the coursework, and the training students receive in life sciences, body systems, and instrumentation. Students should be aware that medical schools also consider performance on the MCAT and other factors in making acceptance decisions. A degree in BME is not a guarantee of admission to medical school.
