PhD in Biomed. Eng. (Tulane vs. Drexel)

Graduate School
1

<p>I am a recent grad from Case Western Reserve University with a degree in Biomed. Eng. and I was accepted to Drexel and Tulane Universities. I am still waiting on a few others but I was wondering if anyone had any insights about these two. I have looked online but I haven't seen much for Biomedical Engineering or much about their Graduate programs in general other than phd.org and a few ratings sites that cover the basics with various metrics. I have read they are ranked about the same, but I was wondering about their research, curriculum, and other things like assistantships for graduate students.</p>

<p>Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!</p>

<p>The sites should have all the info you are looking for. If you have been accepted shouldn’t they have told you about funding already? You have until April 15th to decide anyway.</p>

<p>I would definitely call the heads of the departments with any questions you have. Sometimes one has to be a bit assertive about these things.</p>

<p>I am in contact with the departments at the schools and am going to visit them. I was more looking for opinions about the school from people who are not on the schools payroll. The websites only tell me that they can give me money and the descriptions of the programs, courses, etc.</p>
