  1. Actually, based on your stats, a direct PhD admission would be tough! So, maybe you look into a tier II school. Case Western is a top-notch Biomed School.
  2. Actually, Penn Engineering is well-known for a lot of its research. It really depends on the OPs particular research interests and application. Philadelphia is probably cheaper to live in than Toronto. You can find a room in a shared apartment for about 600$ and the US is cheaper than Canada.
  3. So, I am not an international student. I am actually a non-residential alien in the US. I do not have a green card, I AM NOT AN ILLEGAL ALIEN. Currently, I am working as a Research Scientist in a leading Medical device company. I did my high school, undergrad degree in the US. I have decent stats (790Q, 590V, 3.87 GPA, 1 co-authorship in a publication, 2 years of research germane to the polymers in industry). I am applying to MIT, JHU, Cornell, Columbia, Duke, North-Western and Stanford. The only public schools I am applying to are UC, UMich and U Florida. I figure that I might have a tough chance at the public schools because of funding related issues. I obviously have almost had my entire higher schooling in the US and should have no issues competing academically against my fellow peers with similar profiles. What do you think? I guess my issue might be similar to Canadian applications?
  4. Those are not bad scores bud! I have similar scores (30 less on the Verbal) and I have one publication. I am also looking to apply to some of the programs you have mentioned for BME. Could you PM me so that we could share notes on the application process?

  6. I am planning to apply to MIT (two departments), JHU (Two Departments), North-Western (Two Departments), Cornell (ChE), Duke (BME), UMich(BME), Columbia (BME), UC - 3 different locations (One dept), JHU (one dept). Is that too many? PS - This is all for PhD
