spacepope13 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 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?

TexasGuy Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 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...

katethekitcat Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 What TexasGuy said. Just apply. No one can estimate your chances of getting in except the programs themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
