<p>Considering admission from these schools for an undergraduate degree in BME. Roughly 10K merit scholarships from each.</p>
<p>BU seems to be ranked in the top-10 in BME
Rutgers seems to be a growing program</p>
<p>See: [World</a> Science & Engineering University Portal: University Ranking of Biomedical Engineering in USA](<a href=“http://www.universityportal.net/2008/03/top-university-of-biomedical.html]World”>http://www.universityportal.net/2008/03/top-university-of-biomedical.html), [Undergraduate</a> engineering specialties: Biomedical - Best Colleges - Education - US News and World Report](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/college/spec-doct-biomedical]Undergraduate”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/college/spec-doct-biomedical)</p>
<p>Any personal experience with these programs? Thoughts on how you would rate them?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>In the past, we had a few posters who were in the program at BU and really liked it, but it’s not a large program, is a speciality and thus there isn’t a big pool of expertise. </p>
<p>I don’t know if it matters, but BU is in Boston where gobs and gobs of research is done.</p>
<p>Hi. How do you compare Rutgers BME with Stony Brook, UConn, and RPI? I was admitted by all of them at BME. I live in MA and pay out of state tuition. Rutgers- 23K, Stony Brook- 10k(3k assistantship), UConn- 13K(new england region tuition) and RPI-32K(5K assistantship).
I need to decide before or by May 1st. Any inputs are appreciated.</p>
<p>this is a bu thread, most of us can really only tell you about bu, maybe some other boston schools, but not really any of those.</p>
<p>I don’t know any way you could compare the programs. You’ll have to look at $$, what you think fits you best, etc.</p>
<p>RPI $51,000
Rutgers $35,000
Stony Brook $21,000
UConn $25,800</p>
<p>The above are the schools I have been admitted to undergraduate biomedical engineering program and each cost of attendance to me.</p>
<p>My question are:
Is each of them worth the money?
Which one is the best choice?
What is reputation for Rutgers outside of NJ?</p>
<p>people in those threads really might be able to help you out better than any of us.</p>
