Thanks so much for your reply, ghanada! Yea, I think my stats are good but not fantastic... (especially due to a super low mark on GRE writing). At current stage, I am not sure if I really want to do a PhD, and it would be ideal for me to find a MS can easily translate into a PhD program. My ultimate goal is still get some biomed-related industrial job. Therefore, I am more into a M.S. program rather than a direct PhD. But I guess I will still apply them all to see what I will get in the end. Just one little question about emailing POIs, do you recommend emailing them even for a MS course-based program? Will it help the admission process? Again, thanks so much for your help!!!

Hi guys, I am an undergrad going to my final year at a top Canadian school, with a major in BME. I am thinking of apply for BME/Bioengineering Masters program in US (F2013). Here are my stats: - cGPA: 3.82/4.00 - GRE: V680, Q800, W3.0 - Have 3 years of biomedical related research experience (tho in different fields: regenerative medicine, medical devices) - Have one year internship at MIT/Harvard research lab - Have 2 minor co-authorship papers (in progess; may not be able to be published by the time I apply) - Have some awards and went some conferences (not too big tho) I am thinking of top BME masters program, such as Stanford, UCB/UCSF, UCSD, Columbia, JHU, Harvard, etc. I think my stats are not really stand out for them. Do you guys have any quick suggestions to build up my profile? Should I contact POI before apply or try to attend more conference?!? (I heard it is harder to get in a Master program than a PhD program for BME... is that true? Thanks a lot!!!
