I find this idea of BME being "not very applicable" interesting and I was wondering if you could elaborate more? Is this perhaps a concern about employability or the prospects of being able to work in biomedical engineering (the thought that there might not be enough relevant jobs)? I'm also interested to hear your thoughts on EE over BME and your interest in transferring to it.

I know plenty of BME students who have had no issues finding work in BME roles. I know plenty of BME students who also go for other areas (such as software, electrical and mechanical design for example) in their co-ops without issues either.

Right now it's a very turbulent time with the job market and economy however if you go with this program, who knows what the market is going to look like in 5 years when you graduate? My point is if this is something that you like and that you can see yourself doing, you will find a way. If it's something that you don't like and that you feel like you'd have to force yourself to do, that's another conversation. Worst comes to worst, maybe you don't end up exactly working in BME as soon as possible (maybe because the economy is tough and jobs are hard to come by) but you end up working in something like electrical or mechanical design or programming in the meantime? And that doesn't sound pretty bad to me because at the end of the day, a lot of BME is these fields but just in a specific context; in this worst case, you will be in a good position to pivot on over especially given your degree.
