<p>just got a no from stanford bioe by email.</p>
<p>^ ditto for me.</p>
<p>^ ditto for me.</p>
<p>I wonder how selective they were this year.</p>
<p>Sorry to hear about the negatives. What areas did you all indicate for Stanford on your SOI's? I applied for tissue engineering. No word either way from them yet.</p>
<p>I was also tissue engineering. Last year my friend was accepted at Washington, UCSD, BU, and some other top schools. But Stanford offered her a Masters. I think they're picky. Hopefully.</p>
<p>Just recieved an admit to USC via e-mail</p>
<p>Anyone know what the typical acceptance rate for the PhD program at CWRU is?</p>
<p>Just recieved an admit to UCSD via US postal office :)</p>
<p>Mind sharing your stats UCSD? I really, really want to go there for graduate school.</p>
<p>Still waiting for 4 more grad schools :P</p>
<p>BioE app</p>
<p>Cornell Univ, Biological Eng. GPA = 3.76 reported, after last semester, 3.79</p>
<p>Research in neurobiology Jr. year, REU in biotech @ MIT Summer 2005, Research in biomechanics lab Sr. year (current)</p>
<p>GRE: 800/660/5.5</p>
<p>TA, other teaching for 2 years, tau beta pi, etc.</p>
<p>BTW, very happy about UCSD. I like it better than Stanford, esp. for BioE :)</p>
<p>Congrats, Neutral! Great admit.</p>
<p>If you haven't heard yet there is a person maintaining a website of all the acceptances/rejections/waitlisted. Please post your results so others can see how and when you were notified. Thanks.</p>

<p>Hey Neutral, has your status on UCSD's application website changed? Also, what specialization of BME did you indicate? Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>Apparently Case decisions are out, my friend just heard back..</p>
<p>vatn - did you apply to BU also? have you heard yet?</p>
<p>yeah, the status changed on the online app. I put down tissue engineering/biomechanics.</p>
<p>I applied to BU for applied biodynamics. No word yet from them.</p>

<p>good luck on BU (and others!)... I'm at BU, and lately they've been planning the prospective student weekend, which is why I'm curious when everyone will find out</p>
<p>If you're reading this, I apologize in advance for the long post.</p>
<p>I'm a BME, ChemE double major at JHU right now applying to BME Ph.D. with pretty much the same list of schools as everyone else on this thread: GATech, BU, Stanford, etc. I've already been rejected by WashU but haven't heard a single thing from any other school, except GATech, where I was asked to apply for the NSF IGERT fellowship. Basically, I have a 3.6 and have gotten permission every semester to overload on credits, and I'll have something like 160cr total. This is 6-7 classes each semester each with at least 3 hours/wk lecture, so it's real classes. A lot of my classes are also cross-listed as graduate courses. My grades would be better but I've had to work around 30hrs/wk to pay for school. I got perfect grades last semester, but probably b/c I had a guaranteed income each month that would cover rent so I was able to sleep.</p>
<p>I've been told by professors at different schools saying that Hopkins GPA's are bumped up a notch b/c of the way things go here, which is not that bad but admittedly cutthroat. So my 3.6 might be comparable to a 3.7-8 from a different undergrad BME program. I don't know if this is true or if it's just Hopkins people trying to make me feel better. They usually lay down whatever crap there is.</p>
<p>The other thing is, I'm not feeling the "no news is good news" thing for applying to grad school. And was wondering how other people feel about this?</p>
<p>joho - what specialty of bme are you interested in? I can't say much about your stats, because I only applied to MS, but it seems to me that what you show interest in can make a big difference... for when the departments try to balance out the number of students per research area</p>
<p>At this point, I think no news = death. Which is fortunate for me at least I have a good school to go to :p. Unfortunate, though, that I have no options.</p>
