Biomedical Engineering to Mathematics Major

[akku8803]

Hi

My main question is about applying to Mathematics grad school. I had done my Bachelor Degree in Biomedical Engineering and completed back in 2010. I am looking to go back to school but I don't BME (let alone engineering) is for me. I want to go into Mathematics, it was what I had wanted to do since High School but under the advice of my counselors and parents I went into engineering. I know I don't have all the required courses, but I am trying to find out what my best bet is to get in AND how I should prepare myself. Thank you.

Please tell us some more:

What mathematical background do you have?

Are you planning to study pure mathematics, or applied mathematics?

Biomedical engineers are on the verge of conquering disease, aging, and death itself before the century is out and you want to become a mathematician? Why do you want to spend all your energy thinking of more ways to add 0, divide by 1, and change the order of summation? Reconsider!

i agree however biomedical engineering in my mind is pretty vague. Part of why I didn't like it

And mathematics isn't vague? It's undergrad so you just got the foundation. Start working or go to grad school and specialize.
