A very big fan of your RU-vid channel.. a freshman in biomedical engineering also.. but in Nigeria FUTA... Actually it's called Biomedical technology❤❤
Hey I just want to say it's never too late to start anything. all the stuff you learned will finally pay off. Also, I'm going to do a Master in BME and I'm facing a large number of courses, could you give me some advice on how to choose courses if I really just want to get a job that I can engjoy? Should I just choose useful courses and easier courses? will that influence job application? thank you!
thank you so much for your video it was so helpful! One question please, if you're an international student, is it possible to get full financial aid if you demonstrated the required need? and also, in case you get full financial aid, does it continue for all the 8 years? thanks🙏
Sounds like if you DO go to med school you can then go and get an MD PhD (not an uncommon pathway) - within this context, consider vectoring toward computational biochem/chem (FYI im a PhD Cell and Dev Bio)
I come across this kind of videos a lot where people talk about how they regret BME, and one thing all of these have in common is that the problem isn't even BME. Lack of information before majoring and then mistakes you may take as a freshman because of it is the actual problem we need to be talking about.
Minor ice skating awards, calligraphy awards, fund a club, Published papers with professor, volunteer at hospital, school club leader, science bowl team, badminton.
I took humanities in high school but now I want to take BME as a major in college. Can I change it now please tell me if can I understand the concepts of chemistry and physics. tell me ASAP
You can't blame everything on Biomedical Engineering. There are many medical doctors who are Biomedical Engineering who are actually doing stuff with the degree. You really didn't give much thoughts to the course & the end game. I went to medical school. I know there were times that I felt that I hated the course. I found the areas I loved and focused on them.
Don't forget that managers today are very woke and obey the DEI principles: they are discriminating against you because you're Asian, and they preferentially hire undeserving blacks and browns in order to be more "inclusive" and "equitable". I say bullsh*t. US is not a good place to be smart and intelligent anymore. Move to Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan or even the Southeast Asian countries where meritocracy is still the norm.
4th year BME here, the main problem with BME is that you don't need a degree in BME to do BME. BME companies hire ME and EE to do BME, while ME and EE jobs don't necessary hire BME. Heck, many job applications don't even recognize BME as an engineering major. BME is a jack of all trades master of none and in todays job market to land a job you need to specialize in something. The main benefit of BME are the research opportunities, but that's about it. Just do ME or EE, much more versatile and can transition into BME later in career. BME=Bad Mechanical Engineer/Business Major Eventually
Graduated top of class at URI bs biotechnology, May 2022… what I can say: focus on acquiring skills, do not solely focus on getting perfect grades!!! C’s get the degree… companies are hiring C average students because they have the skills from taking internships. They would hire those students over an A student with basic rudimentary skills and little internship experience. I don’t work in the biotech industry because I have nothing more to offer than what I learned at University. I focused hard on getting perfect grades and I took an internship that unfortunately didn’t offer anything more than what I was already learning at the University laboratory. As a military vet, I now work a fed gov job, better pay, pension, remote work, benefits package is great. When I applied to biotech companies in the New England region, my military experience didn’t hold much weight. So I chose to work government job. My internship essentially turned out to be more of what I was already doing… Companies want students with versatile skill set, so, look for internships with companies that are using state of the art equipment and are involved in a meaningful mission/ study. In the end, the summa cum laude bachelor degree is just an accessory bullet on the cv. I’m happy where I’m at now with the government in the supply chain management (SCM) industry, however, I am open to exploring SCM biotech positions in the future when they are available.
