GroundTurth Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Definitely a good thing if they bothered to pull out their computer and look you up! In the Industry it was always a good thing for me at least. I apply to a job --> hiring manager view my profile --> job offer. I hope it is the same in Academia.

thisisnk Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Thanks for the opinions guys. Yes, it is indeed very difficult for an international student to get into popular schools...unless you have an amazing background. I am proud of my accomplishments but it is also true that there are many applicants with similar or better credentials. And as you said FIT is very important, and I just received a very informal offer from a professor at Hopkins, as I was reading the rejection letter from UCB. I hope the adcom at Hopkins accept the professors request. Fingers crossed... Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow great News ! talk about up and downs. Congrats AxyC! UW is one of my top choices as well! And I just received a formal offer from the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering dept of Hopkins! Nothing from the BME dept yet. POI contacted me first to tell me about the acceptance and I am really happy about it. POI is an affiliate in BME, so i guess i will have a chance to get a taste of both worlds.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsb0008 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Does anyone know how the wait-list at BU works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmedlo Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Does anyone know how the wait-list at BU works? Only one of the results entries I could find for BU had a comment about it. It sounds like they inform people on the waitlist in early to mid-april. Unfortunately that would mean you wouldn't be able to visit for their open house/recruitment weekend. Seems like they waitlist more people than any other BME program I've seen. If you don't mind me asking, what time of the day did you get your email from BU?
