Looking for inputs on my profile and whether it matches with the school list; I'm really lost as to how ambitious I should be...
Undergrad Institution: University of Alabama at Birmingham (Good Med School, below average engineering)Major(s): Mechanical EngineeringMinor(s): NAGPA in Major: Not sure but slightly above overall GPAOverall GPA: 3.52Position in Class: I'd estimate top 20% of classType of Student: Hispanic/Middle Eastern Male, CitizenGRE Scores (revised/old version):Q: 162 (81%)V: 154 (65%)W: 4.0 (60%)B: NAResearch Experience: Conference paper in Mechanical Engineering, Started Bio-printing project with Materials Engineering Lab in August (won't have paper by application deadline, but will get some lab experience).
Awards/Honors/Recognitions: 3 Dean's List, 1 President's ListPertinent Activities or Jobs: TA for 1 year in a lower-level engineering class, 2 manufacturing engineering internships,
Should I include these in my resume: Co-owner of a restaurant, Youth group leader
Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: Special Bonus Points: (Such as connections, grad classes, famous recommenders, female or minority status etc...)Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter:Applying to Where:
Northeastern - Bioengineering - Biomedical Devices
Worcester Polytechnic Institute - Biomedical Engineering - Tissue Mechanics and Mechanobiology
Tufts University - Bioengineering - Biomechanical Devices
Dartmouth University - Engineering Sciences - Biomedical Devices
University of Connecticutt - Biomedical Engineering - Biomechanics
University of Alabama at Birmingham - Biomedical Engineering - Biomedical Devices
Stevens Institute of Technology - Biomedical Engineering - Bioinstrumentation
I'm thinking of adding one more 'safe' school, what's y'alls opinion on that?
Comments: My first-choice school is by far Northeastern. Can anyone tell me if I'm a good candidate for the M.S. Bioengineering Program over there?
