Carnegie Mellon University has a bio-medical engineering program, with one caveat. A student can only major in it as long as they have an additional major, like mechanical, chemical or electrical engineering. I think that's a good idea, because as some people have been saying, Bio-medical is still a relatively new program and doesn't have much structure yet.

I've been a homeschooler for seven years (I'm now going to community college at 16), and there really are pros and cons of the socialization issue. On one hand, I've always been comfortable being friends with many adults, and have had no problem interacting with friends after I'd made them.
On the other, I still can be incredibly shy with strangers. This might just be an innate thing on my part, but I've found that it's harder to get along with people that actually are my own age. They like interact in large groups, while I'm more comfortable with small groups.
However, I have known homeschoolers who were social butterflies.
Honestly, if you have the time and resources to homeschool, try it. It was the best thing that could have possibly happened for my sisters and me.
