NYU vs BU! (Biology Major) Please help

Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University

<p>So I have to choose either NYU or BU and this would be an easy decision except for the fact of me wanting to major in biology/biotechnology. I researched BU and according to US News its in the top ten for undergraduate biomedical engineering. However, I can't find a lot of info for NYU. I really want to go to NYU but BU seems to be the smarter choice. Does anyone know NYU's reputation for biology? I know engineering and regular biology is different but I really like both and I am satisfied with majoring in just biology. (I know of the BS/BE with Stevens Institute, but it seems very tough)</p>

<p>I do plan to get a masters so does my undergraduate college not have a significant impact?
Alternatively, are NYU's graduate programs in biology very good?</p>

<p>Any help is greatly appreciated!!!</p>

<p>why do you want to get a Masters? to do research? i would wait to decide on a Masters, because you’ll feel very differently about it once you’re in college.</p>

<p>no, your undergrad school doesn’t matter so much when you’re applying to an MS program. your grades, GRE and research/published work matters much, much more.</p>

<p>i believe for master programs, research is not necessary. it’s primarily for doctoral programs, where research is pretty much required.</p>
