I agree with Belevitt- go to both if you can, to get the full picture; but if an alternative is not possible… from your previous posts you seem to be applying to BE programs? I do research in a BE lab at MIT, and this is solely my opinion, based on the reputation that scientists around me have given to the field. BU is known to be a stellar school for BE/BME, while I have never heard of the same department at UT-Austin. If I were you and HAD to choose, I would choose BU based on that limited knowledge which I just demonstrated…

For what it’s worth, I just looked up the US News rankings and BU has a spectacular ranking. [url=http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/grad/eng/biomed]here[/url]
