<p>I was recently accepted to Rice University's Master of Bioengineering program as well as Duke University's Biomedical Engineering M.S. program (non-thesis). I really like Rice's program and feel that it aligns well with my interests and personal preferences. It would also be the more affordable choice for me (since I wouldn't be funded at either school). However, Duke's name recognition is something that's on my mind. I am currently wondering which of these two programs would lead to better job placement. Would an employer in BME industry look more favorably upon one than the other? Is this even something that I should be worrying about?</p>
<p>My daughter has same problem. She has received Admit from Umich and Duke so far, and hopefully Cornel and Rochester might approve too. She is seeking admission for MS in Biormedical Engineering.</p>
<p>Could anyone please evaluate. Ranking as shown in US News or other platforms is Ok but am not aware of the parameters they consider for such ranking</p>
<p>Duke is the leading power. But Rice is not less.</p>
<p>My daughter too has received admits from Umich and Duke for MS in Biomed eng, hence the confusion over which she should opt for. Any advices …</p>
