Where should I go to school, and what major should I choose???
I am going to declare pre-med wherever I go. I've been accepted at UW-Madison, Marquette, and U of Minnesota- Twin Cities. Also waiting for a decision from Carleton College. What would be a better major Biochemistry or Biomedical Engineering???

Congrats. Those are some great options. If it were me, I'd go with UW-Madison. It's got great national recognition as one of the top universities in the country. Also, I think it has the strongest and best known medical program out of all the schools you listed. If you plan to go to medical school, I'd go with biochemistry. I think that will give you a better background in general biology and chemistry in preparation for medical school. But if you're not sure about medical school, biomedical engineering might be better. Since it's an engineering degree, you will gain more practical knowledge and be more attractive to potential employers with just the Bachelors Degree. And, you can still change your mind and go to medical school. Good luck!
