Undergraduate Major and College: Rising 4th year Biomedical Engineering, for privacy sake will just say it's an American college, and consistently a renowned, top 4 program in the world for my major. G.P.A: 3.1 / 4 (Got an extremely high upward trend but probably the aspect I'm most worried about) GRE: Verbal (161) Math (166) Letters: One from my PI, very good relationship. One from a clinician who sponsors/consults for a medical device start-up I co-founded, very good relationship and is renowned in their field. One is from a professor whose course I've taken, and who has collaborated with my research lab and can vouch for my academics which might help the GPA(teaches an extremely challenging engineering grad-level course on campus, recently got an A in it), relationship isn't as strong as previous two but still strong. Research experience: 1 year of research in mechanical engineering lab. COVID cut alot of my projects short since undergraduate students haven't been allowed in labs since early spring. Work experience: 3-Month Paid internship for a European Medical Device company in designing/engineering catheter mechanisms and urological devices. Company is well-known in Europe. Considering possibly getting my supervisor here to write a letter. Publications: Co-Author of two published papers (one for my research lab, and one is independent but related to my start-up.) Will try to get more but COVID might make it tough lol Recognition/awards: Winner of over 6000$ in grants and business awards for start-up, featured by University Program. Deans list Misc activities that might be relevant: Organizer of mentoring program for engineers. TA for fluids class and a programming class. Research interest: Medical device design (would love something similar to my work internship), or microfluidics. ETH Zürich has a lab I'd love to work in and takes Master's students, and I will likely contact this lab and reference it in my application. I will likely apply to other masters programs in Europe and in the US as well mainly concerned about the GPA, but will it automatically count me out even if I show upward improvement?
