I also feel like I am reaching high, but still got some hope...
Stats:
3.7 GPA, B.S. in mechanical engineering, minor in BME from a fairly good university
Research xp:
2 years (musculoskeletal biomechanics and cardiac mechanics) both with focus in regenerative medicine
Two poster presentations at BMES Annual Meeting for projects at home univ and summer program
1 pub still in process
Interests:
Biomechanics of soft and/or hard tissues, Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering
Applications using both, experimental techniques and computational tools
PhD Programs Applied:
UCSD BioE - Interviews 3/2
GATech BME -
UW Seattle BioE - Rejected 2/8
Duke BME -
UM Ann Arbor BME -
Purdue BME -
Cornell BME - Accepted 1/25
Although UCSD had been my top choice for a while, Cornell's offer is very tempting. I'm still waiting for a final response from Duke and GA Tech. I've read some threads about acceptance from them. Has anyone heard from Purdue or UM Ann Arbor??
