I'm thinking of applying to duke's biomedical engineering program which is in their pratt school of engineering but in their trinity school of arts and sciences they have biotechnology under their biology programs, and I was wondering the difference between bme, biotech, and bioengineering? Is bme more focused on engineering aspects like circuits, comp sci, electricity, electromagnetism, physics, etc because that is something I am NOT very good at nor interested in. However, I am really interested in designing processes for bacterial insulin growth, genetic modification, and designing molecules for protein transportation. Which major would these fall under? Also, I got an A in ap bio but a B+ in physics honors so would that affect my chances of getting into bme at Pratt? Should I just apply as a biology major under Trinity instead?
