So UNC sends me an e-mail about funding - before they sent me the acceptance letter. Though I went to the application site and was able to view it electronically. Checked if Duke was doing the same thing - apparently not. Has ANYONE heard from Duke BME??

congrats =] Does feel good to know some school wants you! I just wish Duke would hurry it up heh...

Got an acceptance email from UMD today =]

waiting_it_out: I myself am a biology student, though I've taken a couple of extra math and computer classes. No engineering classes though. So I also had to be selective with the schools. So far I got rejected from Berkeley and JHU. Still waiting on Duke, Harvard, UMD, and UNC. I do feel like those schools CLAIMED that they were okay with non-engineering students, but who knows =/ hope I get in somewhere! and good luck to you!

I applied to Johns Hopkins, Duke, Berkeley, Harvard, University of Maryland, and U of North Carolina. Haven't heard back from any - yet! Maybe next week =X Thing is - for the past couple of weeks I've actually started looking more seriously at what the professors I wrote I was interested in are doing and now I'm even more interested in a certain new area in BME - synthetic biology. Professors from several of the schools I applied to are doing synthetic biology research, but as I'm getting more into the idea of doing research in the field I'm also becoming more and more scared that I'll be disappointed if I get into a school that doesn't do as much research in the area. Specifically, Berkeley and Harvard are the leaders in the field out of the schools I applied to. Hopkins and Duke have some research going on the the area too though.

I haven't heard back from any of my schools yet either... and I didn't know they'd be replying back so early until I looked at this forum =X Is there any point in contacting any of the professors now or is it too late to spark their interest if they are not already interested?
