MS in Biomedical Engineering: NYU, WashU or U Florida?

[kbme]

Hi, I am trying to decide between the following MS programs in biomedical engineering:

 

- NYU (the school doesn't have a PhD program in BME, is that concerning? does it mean they are not doing enough research in the field? Is the MS BME program strong there?)

 

- Washington University in St. Louis (Dual Degree Program - I would need to do two more years of undergrad before doing a year long non-thesis masters, as my undergrad background is in biology -- is the three year program worth it, given that WashU is a great school for BME?)

 

- U Florida

 

Can any one advise me on which program to choose? I have been hearing a lot of good things about all three, but I want hear more about the negative aspects of these programs, especially if you have attended one of them. Thank you!
