Hey all, I just wanted to throw my hat into the ring as well. I graduated from undergrad this past spring and decided to work a year before applying again. I like my job a lot and see potential to grow in it, but I wanted to still apply this year and see if I can get into some programs I believe would be great fits for what I want to do. I am aware my list might be bold given my stats, but hey, you never know! Undergrad Institution: Top undergraduate general engineering programMajor(s): EngineeringGPA in Major: 3.28Overall GPA: 3.30Position in Class: NAType of Student: MaleGRE Scores (revised/old version): RevisedQ: 164V: 164A: NA (awaiting scores)Research Experience: Tissue engineering research investigating wound-healing therapies utilizing mechanical/electromagnetic inputs (3 years)Awards/Honors/Recognitions: HHMI Research Fellowship (1 year), Undergraduate Research Fellowship (3 years), Dean's Honor List (2.5 years), Graduate with Distinction, Departmental Honors in EngineeringPertinent Activities or Jobs: R&D Lab Technician, therapeutic and application-driven tissue engineering company (1 year); Engineering internship, IV infusion pump company (0.5 years); Engineering internship, wearable biomedical device company (1 year)Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: Poster, BMES (first author); Provisional patent filed, wearable biomedical device internship (inventor); Manuscript in-progress, (first author); Honorable mention, Biomimicry Student Design ChallengeSpecial Bonus Points: Solid LORs (small school advantage there); Undergraduate institution known for research (and lack of grade inflation which hopefully help as I believe that is the weakest part of my application); diverse research skill set (everything from qPCR, flow cytometry, and mammalian cell culture of over 20 different types to mechanical/electrical engineering design) Applying to Where: UW Seattle - Bioengineering UT Austin - Biomedical Engineering UCB-UCSF - Bioengineering BU - Biomedical Engineering Yale - Biomedical Engineering Brown - Biomedical Engineering Tufts - Biomedical Engineering Harvard (SEAS) - Bioengineering Good luck to everyone! -
