Hi everyone,
I'm applying to a few BME/BioE programs in addition to a few medical physics programs so I figured I'd put my profile down here.
Undergrad Institution: Columbia University
Major(s): Physics Minor(s): Mathematics GPA in Major: 3.87 / 4.00 Overall GPA: 3.83 / 4.00 Demographics/Background: White male
I'm currently doing an MS so I'll include it too.
Graduate Institution: University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center
Major: Medical Physics
Graduate GPA: 3.70 / 4.00
GRE Scores: Q: 166 V: 159 W: 4.0 LOR: 2 solid, 1 good ( I guess?)
Research Experience: 2 years working in MRI, 3 REU's in physics from undergrad
Publications/Abstracts/Presentations: 1 First-Author Manuscript, 1 Second-Author Manuscript, 1 Sixth-Author in a book chapter
Poster Presentations at 3 conferences
Awards/Honors/Recognitions: A fellowship that paid for my master's / a few scholarships along the way
Fellowships/Funding: None
Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Research Assistant at a cancer hospital for 2 years
Other Miscellaneous Accomplishments: I was a national champion wrestler back in high school (probably not too relevant)
Research Interests: MRI (functional applications)
Institutions/Programs:
Harvard-MIT HST (MEMP)
Penn (BioE)
Yale (BME)
Columbia (BME)
Chicago (Med Phys)
MD Anderson (Med Phys)
DKFZ - in Germany (Med Phys)
Comments: My didactic background in biology is a bit weak for bioE/BME programs. I'm hoping my research in cancer imaging can offset that, but I don't know.
Good luck everyone
