  1. Hi everyone - I am seeking advice on choosing a lab which in turn affects which school I choose - I have spent the past two years after graduating working in the pharma industry on the molecular/cellular side of things. I am considering transitioning to the medical device field, which I have little experience with but am excited about. My primary concern is that I am not sure the career path that this will lead me to - what kinds of doors could research in devices open up? It is much more 'engineering' heavy than the field I am in now, and I am interested in returning to industry after my PhD. Any insight into this and how to choose a lab or school would be great! The devices lab and the PI of this lab excite me a lot, more than the lab I have been matched into at my other choice school (school . However, I am more attracted to the program and overall school of school B more.. I don't know what to prioritize and how to choose! Any insight or advice greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!
  2. Thanks for your help! Was your UPenn interview very technical? I am interviewing with some professors who I haven't spoken to previously and didn't necessarily request, which has never happened to me before so I am a little concerned.. any insight appreciated! Thanks so much!
  3. Does anyone have any insight into Harvard's engineering program? I know it is not as traditional (at least for bio/biomedical engineering) as some other programs, but obviously Harvard has great resources. Just wondering what people generally thought! Thanks!
  4. Thank you so much for your response! And last question (sorry to monopolize this thread) - does anyone have any insight/advice into interviews? I have my first interview coming up on Thursday and am sort of freaking out. Tips on how to prepare, tough and/or obscure questions, etc. THANK YOU!!
  5. Just wondering how technical engineering/science interviews get.. do you have to draw mechanisms, answer technical problems, etc? Any insight would be great! Thanks!
  6. Do you know much about their program in general? I know it's more of a non-traditional engineering program so I was curious if anyone had any insight into it. Thanks!
  7. Does anyone have any insight into Harvard's bioengineering program?
  8. Thanks so much! One is an accepted students weekend and one is an interview weekend - originally I was thinking I would go to the interview since I'm not in yet, but on the other hand, it's not as if the other school can reschedule an accepted students weekend.. do you have any suggestions which to attend and which to try and reschedule? Do you think rescheduling an interview affects your chances? Thanks again!
  9. What do people generally do with conflicting interview/open house weekends?
  10. I see a lot of people heard from MIT and UCBerkeley/UCSF on the results search .. do you think no response means rejection?
