For those of you interviewing at Stanford or UCB/UCSF, do you know whom you are interviewing with? We were asked to provide list of faculties we would like to interview with, have you heard from the school since then regarding the interview schedule?

What is the dress code for the recruitment visit or interview? Would business casual work or should I be more formal? I am confused because one of the school I am visiting says 'our dress code is your comfort'

same here just after I replied to your post.

No word from MIT BE here too. and I haven't heard anything from Penn, UCSD, JHU as well

Congrat! I just heard back from UMich. Visit weekend is March 12-14, but I already scheduled an admitted students visit to Rice

I am in the same position! I am attending UCB-UCSF and Stanford interviews in last week of Feb. What's your plan for the ground travel between two schools?

I applied to UCSD as well and haven't heard back

Thank you so much for the information. It's really helpful. I am very happy to hear that I have a good chance at UCB!

I just received an invitation to UCB-UCSF prospective student visit. Is this a tentative acceptance or just an interview offer? & Anyone visiting UCB-UCSF on 2/23-24 and Stanford on 2/25-27? We can probably coordinate ground transportation. I am from Virginia, so I am not sure what is the best way to get from UCB to Stanford.

I got into Rice Bioengineering PHD and attending graduate recruiting weekend!

Hi, I want to know if I would have a shot at top BME schools as well(Stanford, JHU, UCSD, Mich, Washington, Rice etc) Since I do not have M.S. degree, I plan to apply for both Ph.D. and M.S. or M.Eng.
