Hello,

Thank you for your interest in pursuing a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering. Biomedical Engineering is a rapidly growing field that combines principles of engineering and medicine to develop solutions for healthcare. It is a highly interdisciplinary field and requires a strong foundation in both engineering and life sciences.

To get into a Biomedical Engineering graduate program, you will need to have a strong academic background, relevant research experience, and excellent test scores. As a junior, it is great that you already have a B.S. in Biomedical Physics and a B.A. in Mathematics. These degrees will provide you with a solid foundation for graduate studies in Biomedical Engineering.

In terms of schools with good Biomedical Engineering graduate programs, there are many highly ranked universities in the US that offer this program. Some of the top schools include Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Georgia Institute of Technology, University of California-Berkeley, and Johns Hopkins University. It is important to research and find a program that aligns with your research interests and career goals.

In terms of standardized testing, most Biomedical Engineering graduate programs require the GRE (Graduate Record Examination) General Test. This exam assesses your verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical writing skills. It is important to prepare for this exam and aim for a competitive score, as it is one of the factors that admissions committees consider.

In addition to test scores, your undergraduate GPA will also be an important factor in the admissions process. Most graduate programs look for a GPA of 3.0 or higher, but top programs may have higher requirements. It is also important to have strong letters of recommendation, especially from faculty members who can speak to your research experience and potential for graduate studies.

Overall, I would recommend researching different Biomedical Engineering graduate programs and their specific requirements. It is also beneficial to reach out to professors or current graduate students in these programs to learn more about their experiences and advice for the application process. Best of luck in your future endeavors!
