Hi, I am applying to Case and the application is asking for a first choice and second choice major with certainty. I want to go to Case to study biomedical engineering as a first choice, and don’t have much interest in anything else. Should I just put another engineering field and say somewhat certain? I am thinking if applying ED, what are the chances I don’t get my first choice?

Hi, I am looking to buy a new backpack for college and stumbled upon the Herschel Kaslo. I like the design but I am not sure if the things I carry will fit in the 20 L backpack. I mostly carry a 16 inch laptop, an Ipad, around 2 notebooks, a folder, a pencil case, a water bottle, and a Sony XM6 with its case. I really don’t like to dig through my bag for stuff and was wondering if the 20 L would be enough for my needs.

Hi, I am strongly thinking of applying as a biomedical engineering major for college as a rising high school senior. I want to pursue something along the lines of tissue engineering and biomaterials, but I am wondering if a chemical engineering degree would be more beneficial than a biomedical one. Thank you!

Hi, I am not sure if I can post this kind of stuff here, but I wanted some input on what undergrad schools I should apply to that have good BME programs. For some context, I am a rising senior that has mid ECs and my gpa is 3.96 UW, decile 1 at my school, and my SAT is 1520. Income is < 100K, but I believe some out of state schools don’t give much aid even then. I am not really worried about school rankings and such, I just want a strong school for BME.

Hi, I am an upcoming hs senior and thinking about majoring in bme for undergrad. I don’t really know what the path after college looks like as there are many opinions about this major. Assuming I finish 4 years of undergrad as a bme major, will it be hard for me to find a job fresh out of college thats pays above 60k? Also, would it be beneficial if I major in bme and minor in another engineering field like EE?

Hello, I am looking to buy an IEM that is under 40$ USD. I want to wear it for everyday use for music when I am outside. I wanted to know if there are any recommendations for an IEM at this price point. I also want to know if there is a big difference between using usb-c and the jack because my phone only has a slot for usb-c. I heard about the Moondrop CHU II as well and wanted any thoughts on it and if there are better alternatives. I also listen mostly to the ballad and pop genre of music (like breakup songs) where there are lots of emotional vocals if that can also influence my purchase.

Hi, I currently am using a HP Spectre 2 in 1 to play games like Valorant but that game is already pushing frames and I can’t even play Overwatch or Deadlock on this current laptop. I am looking to buy a new laptop kind of focused on gaming only and use the Spectre for school work. I just really want to be able to play Valorant at least at 100 fps with no stutter at the lowest settings.

Hi, are there any recommendations on what to buy with 100$? I don’t mind if the cards are Japanese as the English is much more expensive from what I have seen.
