yacobito Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hello All, I am just curious if anyone applied to Boston area engineering programs. I am currently working in Cambridge and have applied to the following programs... MIT (EE) Harvard (Applied Physics) Boston University (Biomedical Eng and Materials Science Eng) I know I am all over the place by I have an interest in bio-nano-photonics and it falls into all kinds of departments. Can't wait to find out if I get in! Good luck to all! ----- B.S. Physics and Mathematics (3.7) M.S. Electrical Engineering (3.4) Professional work (5 years) - MEMS Engineer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freshprince Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Yes, I applied Biomedical Engineering to MIT, BU, and Harvard. I also applied Chemical Engineering to MIT. All PhD programs. I have heard back from BU and waiting on the others! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leogk Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I also work in Cambridge area, too (more specifically Kendal square). My major is CS. I only applied to MIT in Boston Area, because the other schools like harvard, bc, bu, tufts has no professors I'm interested in. My first impression on Boston is.. it's like a bio-tech city. A lot of bio-related labs, hospitals, and companies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yacobito Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 freshprince, did you get in? How did they notify you? leogk, I also work in the Tech Square area! I work at Analog Devices on Osborne St. Bio-Tech rules Boston for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yacobito Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Anyone here from Harvard's Applied Physics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy85 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 hello, yes, I applied to: MIT (Operations Research center) Harvard (department of economics). I think I must forget about Harvard and parhaps MIT as well. Who knows? lets wait for the decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedaydreamer Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I applied to BU for PhD in Biomedical Engineering. I received an admission letter around January end and open house invitation via email in the first week of Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayhawk3 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I'm going to be applying to Boston Area schools for an MS and maybe PhD in biomedical engineering. Does anyone know what gpa range they typically accept for biomed at these programs? I have a 3.5 and am worried that I wouldn't be able to get into BU, Harvard, or MIT for a masters, although I might be ok for Tufts. I am in the correct range with the GRE however. Thanks!

thedaydreamer Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 jayhawk3: I don't know about the Boston area but I recently visited UPitt and the average GPA was a 3.8. They said that this year was the most competitive pool. From what I know the Boston schools in general have more applicants so the GPA requirement might be a 3.8. But your research matters a lot, if you have a paper published or something, that is an admit Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yacobito Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hello all, I got in Boston's Materials Science and Engineering post masters Ph.D. program yesterday. I am pretty sure I headed there next fall! Maybe I will see some of you around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Does anyone get notice from Harvard Applied Physics? I heard they were making decision in early March, yet I heard nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
