  1. Thanks for the advice, it's certainly something I'm considering, along with taking some courses locally this year. From what I hear, BME MS and MEng programs are more for people who plan on going in to industry, whereas PhD programs are more for folks looking to go into academia. This isn't necessarily a negative for me, but I wanted to hear if other people had been having that experience. Thanks again!
  2. I have a BS in biology from a very good liberal arts school (one of the 'Little Ivies') where virtually no engineering courses were offered (we didn't have a single comp sci course--a shame). My GPA is 3.5, and my GRE is 170Q/165V. The only remotely engineering-ish courses I've taken are 2 semesters of physics and 2 semesters of calculus, all of which I did well in. Most bioengineering programs list as prerequisites diff eq, multivariable, which I know next to nothing about, and a host of physics courses I'm even less familiar with. But they also may say something like 'if you don't have all the prereqs, we'll consider you on a case by case basis.' I've always been a good math student, and had a knack for comp-sci in the limited exposure I've had to it. I feel confident that given the opportunity, I could catch up, but will a good program even give me a serious look? If I do get in, will I be totally out of my depth? Thanks for your help!!
