<p>I am a senior Chemical Engineer:
1. Have not taken GRES plan to late October/early November to hand in applications by December
2. Chemical Engineering Bio-Option (3 elective courses in Biochemical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, and Biomanufacturing) at the University of New Hampshire.
3. GPA: 3.65
4. Scholarship Winner: Shuttleworth Scholarship, and William Heywood Scholarship all indirectly given from the University based on academic merit
5. Two and half years experience in researching metallurgy. My research includes topics such as aluminum anodizing and copper electroplating. Winner of the annual Aluminum Anodizing Conference's Poster Presentation and published in Light Metal Age MAGAZINE (not a journal).
6. President of the UNH ISPE Chapter and class of 2012 student representative for the ChE Student Advisory Board. I actively volunteer in student ABET requirement meetings for the department.
7. Summer Internship at a Lyophilization Company during their start up period. I worked as a validation engineer for 3-4 months on projects such as autoclaves, WFI generation and distribution, Steam generator and distribution, and the lyophlizers.</p>
<p>I am interested in going to graduate school for chemical engineering or biochemical engineering for my PhD. I do not know what my qualifications are. I want to go to a school that offers high amounts of research and therefore have the funds to support the instruments.
Schools of Interest:
Tufts
Carnegie Mellon
Northeastern
Boston University
