Dear Admission Consultants,

I am going to be a 4th year student at UCLA (Bioengineering-undergrad) and I was wondering if I can get an idea on what my chances are in terms of getting into the following schools for Masters Programs. Also I have heard that getting into M.S. programs are a bit easier than PhD programs, is this true or just a myth?

I am going to be applying soon for M.S. programs in Bioengineering to the following schools:

(note that these are all for M.S. Programs)
UCLA
UCSD
UC Davis
UC Irvine
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
University of Washington, Seattle
Georgia Tech
Washington University in St. Louis
Cornell University
Duke University
Columbia University
Boston University
Yale University
Rice University

My stats are as follows:
Cumulative GPA: 3.496
Major GPA: 3.620
GRE: 1370 (730 Math, 640 Verbal, 4.5 AW)

Research Experience: 28 months
Research Statistics:
(1) 3rd Author Publication
(1) 1st Author Abstract Publication
(4) Formal Oral Presentation/Research Seminars
(1) Formal Poster Presentations
(2) University Level Research Awards

I will also have 3 solid recommendations from Prof. in the department

Thank You So much for all your guidance and help. I greatly appreciate it!

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone, more specifically an admission consultant, could take a quick look at my profile below. I am going to applying to graduate school soon in hopes to get a M.S. in Bioengineering but I need some guidance in terms of what school I should apply to and what not. It would mean a lot to me if someone could give me some feed back. Thank you so much for all your time and effort!

So I am currently a 3rd year at UCLA in Bio-Engineering with a cumulative gpa of 3.35 (as of the end of my 1st quarter of my 3rd year). I am interested in going to masters in BioEng. and will apply starting next year (I have 3 – 4 quarters remaining before I apply).

Some of the schools I am considering:
-Univ. of Michigan, Ann Arbor
-UCSD
-Duke
-UCLA
-Univ. of Washington in St. Louis
-Washing University in Seatle
-Rice
-UC Davis/ UC Irvine
-Case Western

Other details:
I have not yet taken my GRE’s yet (will do soon).
I have been doing research since the start of my 2nd year and will continue to do so until I graduate.
I have got an authorship on a recently published paper (2nd/3rd author). Also I have won fellowships/scholarships from my school because of the research that I do.

I am pretty sure I will have good teacher recs (from my professors and my post doc fellow who I work under at research).

What colleges from the above, if I were to apply right now (assuming that I got a mediocre GRE score) would I get accepted into their Master’s program?

To better my chances for masters program in bioengineering, how much do I need to increase my GPA to, REALISTICALLY?

Thanks.
