Apply to Pratt or Trinity RD?

I’m debating over applying to Pratt (biophysics) or Trinity (Biomedical Engineering). Which would be easier to get into? I’ve heard that Pratt prefers strong scores/grades and research experiences, but is that true?

I have a 4.0 and near-perfect scores in all standardized testing and research experience at Duke.

Tbh go for pratt! It is more competitive, but if you have the interest and credentials (which it seems like you do), then don’t be scared of applying to Pratt.

You’ve got them mixed up. Biophysics is Trinity and BME is Pratt. But either way your stats are great, it likely won’t make a huge difference. Just pick whichever you like better and apply. You can transfer between schools later if you change your mind.
