So I will be graduating spring 2010 with a degree in biomedical engineering and have decided that i definitely want to get into grad school. Currently as it sits i have a 2.8 at the University I am at right now and a 3.1 at the community college i went to before hand. It averages out to be about 3.0 and by the time fall semester is over it will be at least 3.1 I think if not better. I basically had a real horrible year my first year at the University after transferring in from that community college. I actually had a 1.9 at this school at the beginning of last year after my horrible first year, but with a little assistance for a learning disability and retaking the 2 classes i got D's in, i was able to bring my GPA up to that 2.8 and had about a 3.3 last year. I feel like i definitely have things under control now and am doing fine in my summer courses and will do fine in the fall also but at most my gpa will be a 3.2 by the time i have to apply for grad schools. I know a strong GRE score will definitely help things out but I'm sort of wandering how competitive I may be for getting into grad schools. I am at a tier 1 school right now and would like to pursue biomedical engineering with a emphasis in BioMEMS and BioNano tech at a decent school. All these schools say that they have a competitive application process and don't mention any thing about gpa ot they say must have above a 3.0 but that it is competitive. I have done a little bit of thin film/ultra sound research but besides that and a mediocre GPA I am not sure what how to tell what grad programs i should pursue? So if anyone has any good advice on this it is appreciated.
thanks
Matt
