In MY opinion, WashU, GaTech/Emory, and UNC/NCSU's bioengineering programs are better than that of Oxford anyway hehe bmeupscotty 1
vsgajd Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 I heard that case interviews at their open house, I'm an international student, haven't got any interview invite from them yet, any hope left for me ? And I also applied to OSU , but I cannot find anyone hose got any interview calls from them, some help here as well
laveritecestla Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 @vsgajd The deadline to RSVP for their interview weekend (which is March 16th) was Feb 23rd, so I don't think they're sending out more. I'd contact their admissions people to be sure though.
krd_BME Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 So for BU, a bunch of people have been rejected, accepted, and wait listed within the past few days, but I have heard nothing. Does that mean that my application has not been brought to a decision yet?

It seems as if since last week I have seen both rejections and acceptances so it should be soon

AppleCiderSmith Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 @LonelyPoet1 - Congratulations! Which lab accepted you?
Man_About_Town Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Has anyone else had the odd experience of attending a "visit" or "preview" day, only to find out that some of the applicants in attendance were already accepted and for other applicants the day served as a formal interview day with admission offer still to be decided? I want to say it is odd at best and unprofessional at worst.

AppleCiderSmith Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Would anyone who attended a recruiting day at Duke be willing to share how it went? I was invited to Duke's March recruiting day (got an email earlier this week), but I have a conflict and can't make it. The professor who contacted me was nice enough to let me interview on a different day, however it will just be with the professor and the professor's grad students. I'm trying to get a feel of what I will be missing and I'm curious to hear what people thought of their recruiting day. Did anything make you particularly excited about going there? Did anything make you have second thoughts? Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks!

The interview day starts off with a night of food and drinks and just getting to meet the other applicants and current BME students. The next day is reserved for tours of campus and labs and interviews with grad students and professors, which depending on which lab you are interviewing for could be 7 hours of 5 hours total. That night, they have drinks and dinner again and you get to drink with all the people that you interviewed with. I think that the most exciting thing really was hearing all of the amazing benefits and awesome things there are at Duke. I really liked it, so I've already made my mind up that I will be attending there next year. Good luck!
thaibear Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Just got accepted to UCSD! I wish to specialize in tissue engineering and have now narrowed my options down to UCSD vs. University of Washington. Both the weathers in Seattle and San Diego are fine for me (as I'm accustomed to both types of weather). I really like the labs from both universities in terms of research interests and personality fit. UW seems to offer a better stipend than UCSD. So, I'm having a really hard time deciding where to go. Any suggestions from you guys are greatly appreciated!
laveritecestla Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 @krd_BME I'll be declining BU's offer on Monday. Hopefully you're next on the waitlist! krd_BME 1

AppleCiderSmith Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 @LonelyPoet1 - Thanks for the feedback! I had a good visit at Duke and I can see why you are so excited about the program. Unfortunately, I may be wait listed (though I don't think they officially tell you that) so I'm toning down my optimism. Everyone Else - Most recruiting visits are over. Have you decided where you are going? If so, what attracted you most about the school?

TinyAquarianNinja Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 I'm going to U of Pittsburgh! Great neural engineering with great professors and matched with my top choice lab. WaliaIbex and bmeupscotty 2
