<p>I have no engineering background, but earned my undergraduate degrees in 2005 in Mathematics, Chemistry, and a minor in economics. I graduated with a 3.70 cumulative GPA, 3.85 chemistry GPA, and 3.98 math GPA with some graduate course work in mathematics. After graduating, I went on to work in the biopharmaceutical industry as a medicinal chemistry for approximately 4 years and this is where I gained a strong interest in biomedical research and also published half a dozen papers on research we did, one of which I am primary author of. Ever since graduating, I've always regretted never studying engineering seeing as I majored in a physical science and mathematics. I feel as though studying BME at the graduate level would simply roll all of my skills into one field of study that I would thoroughly enjoy. I have yet to take the GRE, but I am confident I can score anywhere from 750-800 on the math and 500-600 on the verbal. Does anyone have any recommendations on which schools I should apply to for BME? I realize my verbal may be a little low; would it be that much of a hindrance for me if I were to apply to the top 20 or 30 schools for BME? It's been a while since I've graduated and I have little guidance right now, but I feel as though I am fully mature now to be well prepared for graduate studies.</p>
