USC Engineering

Graduate School

<p>My first post... :P</p>

<p>Ok, I'm still only a sophomore (engineering), and to be honest, I'm still considering whether or not I even want to go to grad school. In the process however, I've been looking at some schools to see where I would have a chance and where I would want to go etc. etc.</p>

<p>So I've been looking at the UC schools and USC. I know USC has a really good engineering school, and I would really like to go there if I could eventually, but as I've been doing some research on the internet about USC's engineering graduate school program, surprisingly, I've been reading a lot of negatives from graduate students there.</p>

<p>So how good of a engineering school is USC at the graduate level, especially for the Masters degree? How hard is it to get in?</p>

<p>what field of engineering?</p>

<p>BioMedical.</p>

<p>Bump......</p>

<p>Anyone?</p>

<p>Also, I know USC publishes a sheet of statistics about the incoming freshman undergraduate class each year. Do they have anything similar for their graduate program?</p>

<p>According to US News, the average student entering an MS program in engineering at USC had a GPA of 3.4 and scored 478V 745Q on the GRE. USC's acceptance rate is 48.5%.</p>

<p>I wish I could've helped, but honestly, I don't know much about the USC Biomed Eng program.</p>

<p>However, my friend did tell me that they get good funding for research projects even though they aren't ranked all that well.</p>

<p>Location is an underrated criterion when comparing schools, especially for those seeking non-academic jobs. If there are lots of related companies in the area (I'm guessing there are), then it's a solid choice for grad school.</p>
