Biomedical Engineering/BioEngineering PhD 2010 Interviews

<p>Has anyone heard from Stanford yet? And if so what did they say in their email? Thanks</p>

<p>Stanford sent out rejection letters. And I was one of those receiving them :frowning: damn two days in a row being rejected by Cali…</p>

<p>i also got rejected from my top choice, what are you guys planning on doing assuming you choose to not take the grad school route? take a year off? go straight to work? master’s program’s? reapply??</p>

<p>any news from JHU? or is anyone else waiting to hear?</p>

<p>Did any of the berkeley rejects request info for the masters program? Do we have to apply all over again or do they just re-evaluate the PHD app? It would be gr8 to do a masters and then reapply to berkeley…</p>

<p>Did any one apply to michigans masters program?? Any news?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I’m waiting on jhu, too, but I applied to chemical and biomolecular eng…my friend heard from them by mail yesterday (accepted). I’m also waiting on Cornell bme. the waiting is driving me nuts!</p>

<p>@lpolstein, thanks for the info. Did your friend apply to biomedical engineering program or the same chemical/biomolecular program that you did? I’m guessing JHU will send out interview invites before admission. The interview dates are just over a month away, so i’d expect to hear very soon if I am to hear anything at all.</p>

<p>@round2, he applied to the same program that i did (chemBE)</p>

<p>Thanks @lpolstein. Good luck with the wait.</p>

<p>Damn, I hate the whole waiting thing. I thought JHU has already sent out their invitations a few weeks back. (not to me though).</p>

<p>@hopefulgrad: if you’re planning to use the master’s as a backdoor into Berkeley, I’d check their policies to make sure that’s possible. Their app said they won’t take grad students who have done coursework at Berkeley…that might just be special-studies students, but FYI.</p>

<p>I thought about sending in for the master’s, but I’m out of state, and I refuse to dig myself any farther into debt. It’s PhD or bust…</p>

<p>@cheerios2: if I don’t get in, I’m reapplying. My GPA isn’t great, so I might take some extra math/stats classes at night school to prove myself. If I strike out next year, though, I’m done…I’ll make a competent automation engineer or bioinformatician, and have a good enough life.</p>

<p>@blueroses67 Thanks for the info. You seems to have a plan for every outcome. Good for you. I like your attitude. Good luck.</p>

<p>Good news from JHU today! I recieved an interview invite. Weekends are March 4-5 and 11-12. Good luck @hhhcce and others!</p>

<p>hey did any of you guys get notified that you’re rejected but if you get funding (i.e. a fellowship) to contact the department? (and if you did, to which programs?)</p>

<p>My friend just got an interview invitation from Stanford Bioeng.</p>

<p>hmmm… I have an interview at Michigan on Friday, but I’m not sure if the planes will fly? apparently there’s another snowstorm coming in on Tuesday, and my school cancelled classes for today! Has anyone w/ interviews on east coast heard anything from the schools?</p>

<p>Are you interviewing for the Biomedical Engineering or the Program in Biomedical Sciences?</p>

<p>@round2 Congrats! You’ll enjoy visiting Baltimore if you haven’t already been there. I’m nervous yet optimistic about my chances at JHU. I am wondering, how did you receive your invite?</p>

<p>@worriedbiomed, it’s for biomedical engineering program.</p>
