Applying to Biomedical Engineering/Bioengineering Programs. What chances do you think I have?

Recommended Posts

Undergrad: Georgia Institute of Technology

Major: Biomedical Engineering

GPA: 3.65

GRE: 166Q, 157V, AW:4.0

Research Experience:

REU at University of South Carolina doing research for Tissue Engineering and Biomaterials

1 Semester in biomaterials and lab at Georgia Tech

1 Summer at South Carolina Medical School as a Lab Tech

3 Semesters at Biomolecular Engineering lab at Georgia Tech

REU at Harvard University for Biophysics

I'll be able to get 3 recs from the professors that I worked with, so that shouldn't be that much of a worry.

The thing is, my GPA is kind of worrysome for some of the top biomed and bioengineering programs, as most of them have an average of about a 3.7. Also, my verbal GRE score is slightly lower than average.

Another worry is that although I have done a fair share of research, I still haven't been able to publish anything. Nothing even close to being publishable.

So the end question is, how are my chances? Do you think I would be able to get into a good program?

well an average of 3.7 GPA means there were people above and below a 3.7....and you're coming from an excellent school....

 

you have excellent GRE scores....your verbal is excellent and noone cares about verbal or AW..as long as they;re decent..

 

publications are not necessary to get into top programs...you have excellent research experience

 

just apply... ....stop freaking out...
