Hi everyone! Apologies for the super late response (I was carried away w/ finals and week 10 stuff when this thread was created). A lot of the information discussed is pretty much what I got but I'll list what I know of as well: 1. USC +Trojan network (alumni love coming back) / target school for companies such as Edwards Lifesciences +Great program if you want to go into regulatory / quality +LA area! (USC is also kinda known to be sketch outside of campus, but they have gates & officers) - expensive & 1.5 yr program 2. Duke (I don't really know anything in NC) +Research triangle park (industry) -> MEng requires internships I think -Expensive 3. JHU +Prestigious for BME -Very academia driven (med school, PhD focused rather than industry; I talked to JHU undergrad who went to USC for his masters) -Baltimore 4. UCSD +Known for BioE +Lots of biotech/pharm companies esp. on sorrento valley +San diego +cheap compared to private schools (esp for in state people) -not a brand school?? idk lol Anyway, I haven't really decided where I'm going yet (lol), but in the end, I got accepted to JHU, Duke, USC, UCSD & UCLA. Rejected by Stanford :(. As of right now, I'm most likely (80%) going to UCSD since I'm from California and have worked in SD last summer (and loved it! yay no snow!). I don't really want to deal with the hassle of moving, finding a place to live and the huge price tag just for 1 or maybe 2 years. If anyone is also going to UCSD feel free to message me!

has anyone heard back from UCLA's bioe department? i just found out that my friend got pretty much an acceptance/approval from the department yesterday around 11 am from stacey fong. they just gotta forward it to the graduate office for approval and stuff

Congrats!! and we gotta believe haha (bc no one else will)

just got accepted into johns hopkins for bme this morning!! super happy but still waiting (and praying) for stanford the most!

AHHHH I just accepted into Duke University for BME! Super ecstatic and shook

@lafryHaha, hopefully!! I applied pretty late in January (didn't try for scholarship, since advisor at preview day said only 1 applicant from each department would receive it) Major: BME at mid-tier UC GPA: 3.81 GRE: V/Q/W 158/161/4.5 Experience: ~1 year research, 2 industry internships (1 well known pharma, 1 small startup), design competitions & some student projects

Hi all! I'm super glad to see a lot of BMEs Field/Program: Biomedical Engineering M.S. Fall '18 Schools: UCLA, UCSD, Stanford, USC, Duke & JHU Status? Nothing T_T a little nervous since @lafry has heard back from USC (USC and UCLA were my safeties..)
