I attend BU now and was accepted to the BU BME PhD program but decided to go elsewhere. I love BU! That said, the campus is 1.5 miles straight on Commonwealth Ave, no real campus like most schools. But, the students make up for it by being really involved in school activities. What I know about the labs, is that you do a rotation thru 3 different labs while you are there. The professors are very friendly and awesome, they really want to be there! There is grad housing available. Google bu grad housing and the website will come up. There isn't much but there is some BU grad housing. Housing in Boston is tough, if the rents are reasonable, then the landlords are awful. It's city living in a college city! But the city's website has a lot of info about the landlords. I would warn you to stay away from Alston which is right off the BU campus, a lot of undergrads move there and it's party central! Even though the campus is not your traditional campus setting, there is a very large sense of community, both between the undergrads and the grads. I would definitely be staying if I did not receive an unbelievable offer somewhere else where the research is more in line with what I want.

Officially going to DARTMOUTH! Chose a lower ranked school over a higher ranked school because the research is a much better fit! Still haven't heard from 3 schools, but oh well, I'm off to Dartmouth! Good luck everyone in your choices.

Have heard nothing from JHU, Northwestern or Duke. There have been acceptances and rejections on the board from all three. Should I be assuming rejections from them? Already have two acceptances so still in great shape! Thanks for any input!

I'd like to 'bump' this topic. Anyone have any input?

Slightly off topic Has anyone heard from Dartmouth College? Had an interview in Dec and have not heard anything. Thanks
