Biomedical Engineering/BioEngineering PhD 2010 Interviews

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I'm an applicant for PhD in BME for Fall 2010. I got invited to Michigan Ann-Arbor for recruitment visit, but I haven't heard from any other schools (UPenn, GA Tech, Berkeley, in particular). Has anyone here heard from any of the schools? </p>

<p>Thanks!!!</p>

<p>oh, and I should add I already looked at biomedical sciences 2010 interview thread. I want information on biomedical engineering!</p>

<p>invited to visit UNC/NC State next week, havent heard back from anywhere else</p>

<p>applied: Hopkins, Duke, MIT, UNC, GTech, UMCP, Purdue, Rice</p>

<p>3.96 GPA, 1250 GRE
major: biochemistry</p>

<p>I haven’t heard back officially from any schools about interviews. I’ve been in contact with a professor at UPenn and he said that the admissions committee has just started sending applicant profiles to the professors, so interview decisions haven’t been made yet.</p>

<p>applied: duke, hopkins, upenn, univ of colorado, rice, gtech, umcp, and uva</p>

<p>3.85 GPA, 1460 GRE
bioengineering major</p>

<p>I haven’t heard from any school either.</p>

<p>Applied: Duke,JHU,MIT,UCB,BU,UCLA,Stanford. Also applied to Harvard Systems Bio and Texas Austin CMB. I think I’ll receive a rejection letter from Harvard soon, as they seem to send out their invitation letters like 2 weeks ago. Regarding Texas Austin, some dudes also got invited on 8th Jan. I sent the school email and got to know that they hadn’t even received my transcript. They told me to send another one or my app wouldn’t be reviewed. Anyway, I think my chance for this one is also very slim now unless they truly send out invitation in waves :-(</p>

<p>4.88/5 GPA, 1400 GRE
Bioengineering major
International, no pub :-(</p>

<p>I haven’t heard back from any school either. I think I will also be rejected by all universities.:(</p>

<p>ah okay… thank pthak88 for info on upenn! </p>

<p>applied: upenn, gtech, berkeley, michigan, upitt, case, wisconsin, cornell
3.76/4.0 GRE 1470
chemical engineering major</p>

<p>berkeley said they’re reviewing the apps till jan 12, which was last tuesday… i’m getting nervous cuz they’re not telling me anything, and when i called them today it would automatically transfer to voice message!</p>

<p>Have an interview invitation from UC San Diego BE program on Feb 19th. But have not heard back from anywhere else. I heard Berkeley reviewed applicants last thursday and MIT started this week.</p>

<p>Applied: UCSF/Berkeley, UWash, MIT, Duke, and UCSD.
Interview: UCSD</p>

<p>I saw from thegradcafe that some guy got invited by UCB Bioengineering :-(</p>

<p>UCB/UCSF sent out interview emails today. The email was addressed “TO: Prospective Bioengineering Grad Students” so I’m assuming it was done as one mass email. (obviously, I’m not sure, though)</p>

<p>The only other program I know of that’s sent out invites is Caltech.</p>

<p>noooooooooooooooooooo!! berkeley did send out an email??? nooooooo!!! </p>

<p>okay… i’m gonna say i didn’t pass the first round because i’m an international student… oh man this is really sad. thanks for the information though!! it’s much much better than waiting, not knowing what’s happening</p>

<p>we’re in the same boat uneoao :frowning: Berkeley is the one I’m looking forward to the most, despite knowing UC schools are always hard for international students.
Really worried now that my morale will keep plummetting in the next 2 weeks. Think I’m aiming too high, dun even have a safe choice…</p>

<p>Caltech sent out invitations last Friday and JHU about a week ago.</p>

<p>Mostly just confirming what’s already been posted. Berkeley sent out a mass interview invite email for the two interview weekends they’re having. Even the pdf “letter” itself was en masse (Dear Prospective Student) as opposed to UCSD who took the time to personal the “to” line on the pdf.</p>

<p>invited: Duke recruitment visit 1/29</p>

<p>Congratz falesafe!
Well I hope Duke sent that invitation to those residing in US only. Yesterday I received an email from Duke, but just a status update.</p>

<p>so… it seems like duke, jhu, berkeley, ucsd, caltech have sent out interview invitations, and among them i only applied to berkeley… is there anyone here who applied to georgia tech or upenn? any news from them? anyone?</p>

<p>and has anyone had problem with transcripts? i’m in the US, and i have several schools not received transcripts, even though i sent it nearly 7 weeks ago…</p>

<p>Hey uneoao, you’d better check with those schools. Read my story about Texas Austin :frowning: I had thought that they would have sent me an email if sth were missing…,
Btw, yesterday I received email from MIT saying the invitation letter would be sent out in mid/late February. I hate waiting… :-(</p>

<p>i received an interview offer today to mit</p>

<p>I also received a status update from Duke last week, but no decision/invitation. (US student).</p>
