Hi, thanks on your reply. You give a wise advice. As I have been working for quite a while, I do have some big names on mind whose work interests me. But my consideration is that: one, they may not be interested to take me; two, they may not be free to teach and guide for the graduate study. This said, I am not seeking a professor who teaches hands by hands, but at least be available to discuss when there is some difficulties.I think I should take your suggest, try to study some more faculties, who might be more available. Good Luck for your application as well!

Hi all, Now all the deadlines are approaching for the 2010 fall graduate school application (United States), but I still cannot decide which school to apply. One of the reason is lacking confidence on my qualifications. My situation is as such: International applicant (TOEFL may be exempted as I took college in an English speaking country) GRE: 1400 (V620+Q780),4.5 (AW) GPA: 3.7 (overall), 3.8 (major). Have two years research experiences, some second author publications with reasonable impact factors (5 to 7). And two first author drafts on hands (may still need one or two month to be published). I am applying for biomedical engineering graduate schools, though my undergraduate training is in biological sciences. I am sincerely seeking for your kind advices on what kind of graduate schools in United States I should aim for. Thanks you all for your attention.
