[GEM Fellowship 2021]

Anyone who will be attending CMU like to follow after USC's steps and start a groupchat? If so, message me your number!

[MS in BioE at Stanford or CMU or GATech]

I am wondering if anyone has any input on which program is better. I eventually hope to pursue an MD/PhD in neuroengineering, and, ideally, at Stanford. CMU and GATech offered me $10,000 scholarship plus TA-ship, and I know I will get a research experience because they are thesis-based. Stanford, on the other hand, is course-based, but they encourage I reach out to professors for research opportunity, though it is not a guarantee. I also highly desire the research prospect. Stanford also has the most profs I'd wanna work with, CMU the second most, and GATech the third.

[Is Stanford's MS in BioE a Cashcow?]

I am wondering if anyone can speak to Stanford's MS in Bioengineering.

I was recently accepted, but it is course-based. And, I am afraid of being unable to attain research experience that I could get elsewhere like CMU's thesis-based MS in Biomedical engineering. I am wondering if anyone can speak to this?

[What's it like to study MS in BME at Emory/Georgia Tech?]

Hello!

I received admission into GT's MS in BME. I am wondering what the experience of studying at GT/Emory was like? We're all the faculty welcoming to MS students working in their research labs? Is the coursework time-consuming and inhibiting to your research? What is the social life like, and how free is one throughout the week to do things pertaining to self-care (i.e. exercise, hanging out with friends, etc). Also, what are the prospects for a graduate in the program looking to go into academia, (MDPhD route), and not into industry? 

Feel free to answer to any combination of these questions! Thanks so much.

I heard that a lot of programs don't necessarily care for the GRE, so I didn't bother using up my time to study for it. I received a 155 on quant and 154 on verbal, and I know some schools on my list don't even require it. However, I am now anxious that my score will keep me from being admitted to the MS in BME programs. Despite me not taking any engineering courses (given my major), I am very interested in the field (in neuroengineering particularly), and I have the sufficient courses as stated on the websites of the graduate schools. I believe that I can perform well at these universities given my research interests--but I just wonder if I should plan more backups given my poor GRE. Can someone help me out?

I'm applying to:

MS in BME at: Stanford, Duke, Upenn, G-Tech/Emory, WUSTL, and CMU. 

I believe that the rest of my application is fairly strong though:

Institution: Research Christian University

Major: Applied Math and Biochemistry

GPA: 3.82

Publications:

1. First Author in Science Advances (and featured on Science Podcast)

2. Tentative publication at Johns Hopkins Med School Research Internship (attended 3 summers)

3. Several conference presentations (university-wide, regional, national, and international)

LOR:

3 strong letters from faculty I did research with throughout college.

Awards:

Goldwater Scholar

Thermo Fisher Scientific Antibody Scholar

Several Research Conference Travel Awards

Some undergraduate research competition Top 3 places

Presidential Service Medal
