<p>Is there anyone who has heard news for BME or BE?
I thought the upper program would be offered the interview invitations.
Especially, I just heard some news for U of Washington BE programs decisions from other forums.
Until now, even though Im also applying to the program, Ive not heard any responses.</p>
<p>I got my rejection from University of Washington's Bioengineering Department via snail mail today. Better luck to you guys.</p>
<p>Thanks, GoldenBeaR6 !!
Since I've heard that it is very tough to get into the U of Washington BE program, I really don't expect a good news from that school.
Good luck, anyway!</p>
<p>Today I was accepted by email to UC Davis BME, in case anyone else applied.</p>
<p>Has anyone heard anything from BME/BE programs at Berkeley, UCSD, or GA Tech?</p>
<p>I applied to UCSD and Cal. Nothing yet. I was BioE at Berkeley for my undergrad. Let me know if you have any questions about professors or whatever. </p>

<p>actually, I do have a few Qs about Berkeley. How competitive is the grad program (high rejection rate?)? How is the bioMEMS research there? I'd like to work on integrated biomedical microdevices. Do you happen to know of any profs/labs that focus on this area?</p>
<p>Much obliged,

<p>I don't know anything about the acceptance rates. I'm curious myself, but they don't publish a lot of info like some schools tend to. </p>
<p>MEMS research is excellent at Berkeley. It's probably one of our strongest specializations within BE. Prof. Luke Lee is probably the best in this area. He teaches the undergrad MEMS class. He was just on the cover of Science. He's also a really nice guy. I think you would be safe in emailing him with any questions you might have about his work. You could also email a grad student in his lab named Mike Mueller if Luke doesn't respond. Mike's a good guy as well.</p>
<p>I would say the biggest reason to choose Cal (if you get the choice) is our brand new BioE building. It will be completed this year. As you probably know if you've done much research, the facilities in which you work are a big factor in your happiness on a day to day basis. Plus the curriculum is undergoing big changes. Combined, these should equate to a big jump in Cal's ranking. They also got a HUGE donation for a new stem cell research building in addition to the new BE one. That should help out as well. </p>
<p>I'm applying for Tissue Engineering, so at least we're not competing against each other =)</p>
<p>Chris</p>
<p>i applied to bioE programs at MIT, Stanford, CalTech, Berkeley and UCSD, but no news yet.</p>
<p>has anyone heard anything from these schools?</p>
<p>I applied to all those minus Caltech. No word yet.</p>

<p>goldenbear, do you know what their timelines are like?</p>
<p>Today, Ive got an email from CWRU BME faculty member for the BME Open House invitation & interview.
For more information about the open house, Ive talked to CWRU BME graduate coordinator, and then she said it should be very positive sign in their final decision.
Is there anyone who gets a same invitation from CWRU?</p>
<p>I have no idea about timelines, but from my understanding it is still very early in the notification period. I think no news is still good news.</p>
<p>I've heard from UC Davis and Vanderbilt. I'm waiting on UCSD, Stanford, and GA Tech as well.</p>
<p>UPenn and Michigan have sent out some rejections. Not to me, yet though.</p>
<p>I'm waiting to hear from Michigan as well. It's good not to see that rejection in the inbox. I'm also to neural/tissue engineering programs. Did any of you apply to BU? Good luck to everyone who's still waiting!</p>
<p>Michigan PIBS letters are going out this week and next.</p>
<p>Any word yet?</p>
<p>Nothing new for me. Tick tock tick tock...</p>
<p>Damn you PIBS, damn you!</p>
