I am applying to 6 different Bioengineering graduate schools for the September 2013 intake. Does this mean that each of my referees should write a different letter to each school that I am applying to? Or is it sufficient for him to write 1 generic letter describing myself and my research potential and send it to 6 different schools? If different letters are required, how different should they be? Is it a matter of just changing the name of the school in the line "I recommend Mr. X for a place in the University of ____________ Bioengineering program"? Or is it something more? Seems like a lot of work to have them write 6 different letters!! Excuse my ignorance, I am an international student from Australia. Thanks

Great! Thanks My plan is to submit his name in the LoR section on my online application, for all 6 schools at the same time (once the letter is written). That way, he can get all the emails at once and just upload the letter at one time for 6 different schools. What do you think? How have other people done it?

I am applying to a number of schools (about 6), all of which require LoR to come through online submissions. I am from Australia so am a bit in the dark over how all this works... If I am applying to 6 schools, will the people who write my letters have to email them 6 times to 6 different schools? Or is there a simpler way? Asking my professor to send 6 emails seems like asking a lot... Thanks!

I am a final year undergraduate student from Sydney, Australia an am considering applying to grad positions in the U.S, in 2013. I will receive a Bachelor of Engineering (Biomedical Engineering)(Hons) and a Bachelor of Science (Physics) at the end of the year from arguably the best university in the country. Our system works differently to yours in that we have to stipulate what field we want to study at the beginning of our college careers. My question is, if I wish to do a PhD in Bioengineering, in my graduate school admissions, should I be applying for a PhD in Bioengineering or a M.S. in Bioengineering an apply to upgrade from M.S. to PhD at the end of my first year? Is that even possible (that's usually how it's done in Australian universities). The fact that I have (Hons) after my engineering degree means I have completed a year-long undergraduate research project in my engineering field of expertise. I believe this is somewhat similar to a M.S. but there are definately diferences In any case, I would really appreciate any advice I can get Thanks
