Graduate (PhD) Engineering Question

Graduate School
1

<p>Hi Forum:</p>

<p>I am a Bioengineering MS student and I am interested in getting my PhD in Biomedical Engineering (starting Fall 2007).</p>

<p>I have been looking around for schools that are doing research that I would be interested in. I have narrowed it down to a couple lists.</p>

<p>I was curious if anyone can tell me how competitive the engineering PhD programs (specifically Biomedical Engineering) are? Any Biomedical Eng students reading this?.....if so, let me know what you think about the programs.</p>

<p>I have heard that Tufts graduate engineering program has a good acceptance rate...is this true? Tufts seems to be in a nice area and has a beautiful campus.</p>

<p>Here are my lists so far:</p>

<p>Apply List
Tufts
Case Western Reserve University
U. of Rochester
WPI
Dartmouth</p>

<p>Maybe List
OSU
RPI
Brandeis (non-engineering)
UCLA</p>

<p>Thanks for your time.</p>

<p>CWRU and Rochester are pretty good. For PhD, it depends on your area of concentration in BME/BE.</p>

3

<p>University of Pittsburgh</p>

<p>I've been looking into Tufts for a non-engineering grad program and actually found some stats on this in the [url="<a href="http://www.tufts.edu/ir/FactBook0506.pdf%22%5DTufts"&gt;http://www.tufts.edu/ir/FactBook0506.pdf"]Tufts&lt;/a> Factbook<a href="a%20yearly%20publication">/url</a>. It doesn't break it down by department within the different schools, but it says that in the Graduate School of Engineering in 2005-2006, 49% of applicants were accepted.</p>
