I am a non-traditional BME Student. One major advice I can offer is said above in almost every comment which is to get a co-op/internship. Real word experience is very different from what we learn in our classes in school. I would say you should also get involved in research early on in your college career. This will allow you to decide if you prefer industry or academic better. I would also take some courses in statistics and learn some statistical programs. I believe this will help you be more marketable. I would also learn some design programs such as CAD. I have yet to use any programming languages like matlab but I don’t think there is any harm in learning some.
