But something I was told by an anatomy instructor at Baylor is that engineers also tend to do better in medical school. The theory is that engineering trains us to analyze and attack problems better than bio which I'm guessing spends more time on straight memorization of material.
Personally, I'm glad I did BME because the people in our program definitely have personality, and we get a good variety in classes. This keeps us from getting too burned out, and it means we're pretty knowledgable about a range of topics, but it also means you don't get as deep of an education in either biology or engineering. Jack of all trades, master of none, but I'd like to think that we're better prepared to adapt, and that we have a broader skill set than most majors.
