About PhD Program,
The Department of Biomedical Engineering is uniquely positioned within the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and the Whiting School of Engineering, giving our students access to top clinicians, researchers, and engineers. Our students are passionate about discovery and innovation, with a demonstrated trajectory of laboratory experience, and maturing knowledge of biology, engineering, and science.
PhD Program Degree Eligibility with GPA,
Admitted students come from many backgrounds and majors, and not all were undergraduate engineering majors. However, all have demonstrated a strong quantitative training. The median GPA is typically ~3.8, but we operate a holistic review process and have no minimum GPA or GRE thresholds for review. Don’t think that one bad grade or a tough semester stands in your way. We review the whole application and evaluate the potential of the person who wrote it, not just a set of numerical metrics.
PhD Funding Coverage,
Accepted students will receive a full fellowship, which includes a yearly stipend, full tuition, matriculation fee, and individual medical and dental insurance. The BME PhD program extends two types of admissions offers. Students who receive a rotation offer are free to choose from almost any research lab in the university. To facilitate this process, these students do two or more rotations during their first year and typically choose a lab by the end of their first year. Students who receive a direct-match offer to work in specific laboratories forego the rotation process and start their thesis research from day one. Other than laboratory rotations, there are no differences between the two types of admissions offers.
Application Requirement,
- Transcripts from each college or university attended. You may upload unofficial transcripts to the online application for review. Applicants who receive and accept an offer of admission are required to submit official transcripts togradadmissions@jhmi.edu.
- Three letters of recommendation from faculty members who are acquainted with you and your academic work. These letters should include comments on your aptitude and promise for independent research.
- A personal statement indicating the basis of your interest in graduate study and your career objectives. Include discussion of any research experience you have had. Also mention which faculty members you would be most interested in working with and why. This statement should be no longer than one page (single-sided) with the following specifications: Times New Roman, 12-point font and 0.5 inch margins.
- A current C.V. summarizing your academic, professional, and research experience.
- TOEFL scores (for international students only; official copy). The TOEFL requirement is waived for students who have studied at a university within the U.S. or if you received your degree from an institution where English was the primary language of instruction.
