As a junior, my daughter thinks she may be interested in medical research as a career. She's been interested in areas such as stem cell, cancer, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's research. We started our initial search thinking BME would be a good program to pursue. Lots of good info on this degree on CC. Now we are trying to look at other programs which may be almost as good, or better, than BME with the goal of eventually getting into medical research (focus: brain?)
We are only looking at UG right now, understanding that advanced degrees will be necessary. I've seen programs in Biomedical Sciences, Neuroscience, Molecular Biology, Chem Eng?, etc. just not sure what I'm missing, or what would be other route to take. Looking for ideas, and schools if you have a suggestion.
Not many stats to share, but I can tell you GPA is 4.0 UW, 4 APs, 1500ish on new SAT practice, 34 on practice ACT. Want to keep costs low, assume no FA, in case that matters.
