Lezar Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Hi. I am currently a junior undergrad at a well known U.S. university(ranked top 25-30 nationally). I am studying Biomedical Engineering and would like to continue my education by getting a Masters(of science/engineering) in the same field. I know I am still 2 years out but can anyone tell me what my options are as far as grad school? I am trying to get more familiar with the admissions process and evaluate where I stand.I expect my graduating gpa to be somewhere between 3.2-3.5.I have not taken the GRE yetI have pretty good extracurriculars: -Founder/vice pres of engineering based student club, -team member in a CAD/3dprinting based nonprofit organization, -experience in a physics research lab and sythetic bio lab(IGEM)-I also plan on getting an internship or REU this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbiochemist Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Hi! I'm a 1st year BME PhD student at Hopkins. It's great you're thinking about things early! I can't say much without knowing your research interests, but it sounds like you'd be a strong applicant for Masters programs. If I were you, I would work on trying to raise that GPA. I think the average undergraduate GPA for our Masters is around 3.7. That said, admissions is always a holistic endeavor and if your research, personal statement, and reference letters are great it shouldn't matter as much. Maybe try looking at top 15-25 programs and see if your research interests line up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
