I am planning on going on to med school, so I am looking for a top tier school which has a strong Biomedical Engineering program, or if not just a strong Pre-Med program.

I have a 1520 SAT, play varsity football, and I am involved in numerous clubs and actvities, along with being ranked number one in my class. I was hoping to get into an Ivy, or if not an Ivy then maybe Duke or somewhere similar. Thanks for your help.

US NEWS RANKINGS of BME
1. Johns Hopkins
2. Duke
3. UCSD
4. Case Western Reserve
5. MIT

I am not positive of the order but i know that those were the 5 ranked.

Duke is a better choice than any Ivy for BME. The top BME Ivy is probably Yale. If you can walk you can play football at both. The only trouble with playing football at Duke is you have to play Florida State every year and might not be able to walk for the rest of the year,
