Hi, I am going to be a junior this year at a state school that is known for engineering, and I am majoring in electrical engineering with a minor in nano science. I am also taking extra classes to count toward my school’s own bioengineering grad program. I have about a 3.5 GPA. I am currently volunteering in a bioengineering lab on campus. I am also a collegiate athlete. I haven’t taken the GRE yet and do not know what is an appropriate score to even apply to the Stanford Bioengineering Master’s program.

Can someone please tell me realistically what my chances of getting accepted are by the above information? I expect my GPA to stay the same or go up in the next two years.

Also, what should I shoot for on the GRE? Are there any helpful books or classes I should look into to prepare?

Who should I ask for references to really stand out?

Thanks for any insight.
