Is Boston University good in Biomedical Engineering?

[wldnjs61114]

<p>I got accepted to Boston University</p>

<p>On the other hand, I got rejected all UC campuses I applied (UCB,UCLA,UCI,UCSD)</p>

<p>Then I become curious about BU’s fame and programs in biomedicalengineering.</p>

<p>Of course, I found the info about the USNEWS Engineering Ranking stuff, but still I am not </p>

<p>sure.</p>

<p>Is BU good in Biomedical Engineering?</p>

<p>I thought BU was a good school that was about the same as UCLA or UCB. Do you mind to tell me your test score and GPA?</p>

[wldnjs61114]

<p>I am international Student, so I do not get any GPA scores</p>

<p>But my SAT is 1810, Reading 490, Math 800 and writting 520</p>

<p>I see. Your reading and writing is a little bit low to most US students, but not too far off. However, your math is strong. Also, another possible reason is that you are an international student. As an international student, you pay more tuition than US students. Anyway, I think BU is still a good school. If you apply UC in a better economy year, your result will be different.</p>
