  1. Can anyone recommend one (not command line) that is particularly well-designed or useful? I've used VMD for some basic protein renderings, but it seems to be built for much more heavy duty stuff than what I need. I'd prefer one that runs under Mac OS X, especially if it's Mac-only, but Windows is fine too.
  2. I'll be starting in the Bioengineering Ph.D. program in the Fall. Exciting times ... And, congratulations to all of you!
  3. Mine have all been between $25,000 and $30,000 for a Ph.D. in Bioengineering
  4. I felt somewhat similar after receiving my initial offers. I think part of it is that we've been pursuing this seemingly out-of-reach goal for all this time and thus once it is achieved it doesn't seem so remarkable anymore. Also, since we've been so close to the admissions process, researching schools etc. for so long I think there's something of a "losing the forest for the trees" effect too.
  5. Also, what do you guys know/think of Caltech for (bio)engineering?
  6. I'm curious as to what you've heard about Cornell BME? When I went there for my visit I thought their faculty/curriculum were rather strong ...
  7. They're both rather strong in engineering, although I think you're correct insofar as U of M is ranked higher than UCLA by the powers that be at US News. However, one thing about UCLA, especially in mechanical engineering, is that they have some substantial ties to the defense/aerospace industry in and around Los Angeles. So that might be something to consider if you're interested in that type of route after you finish your Ph.D. Full disclosure- I am currently an undergraduate at UCLA.
  8. Hello all- I've been lurking here for a while (pretty much throughout my applications/admissions process) and wanted to hear your thoughts on a decision I'm facing. I'm currently a senior undergrad in Bioengineering, and have applied for PhD programs in BioE/BME. Of the places I've been admitted to I think I've narrowed it down to either Stanford Bioengineering or Cornell Biomedical Engineering. Any thoughts as to how the two compare? There are at least a couple of professors at each schools that I think I'd be happy working with, based on discussions during my interview visits as well as afterwards, so I'm thinking about other aspects as well (e.g., industry connections, ability to take classes/certificates at law/business schools, general graduate student quality of life and atmosphere, etc etc.). Also, I currently attend UCLA, so location (experiencing something different from where I am now, weather-both the pluses and minuses, etc.) is a consideration too, though not very strongly so.
