What's a bad GPA for engineers? Mine is a B- but I pick things up pretty fast, have a good personality, and have had a relevant internship (mostly just doing QA.) I'm worried when I start applying for jobs in December my GPA will just screw me, but hopefully a B- isn't all that bad. Does anyone have experience applying across nation for jobs, right out of college, instead of their surrounding areas? I've been trying to figure out the best way to do this but the only thing I can think of is flying over and driving up the coast, hitting job fairs along the way.

Almost everyone at my school says that getting a bachelors in biomed is worthless and we run the #1 biomedical undergraduate program. Most people here get it to impress med schools or to pave the way for their masters/phd. I've heard it's incredibly tough trying to get a job with just a BME bachelor's degree and most of them end up wishing they had just chosen to major in whatever specialization they had chosen for their BME (EE, ME, etc.)

I have the same trouble but I've never heard this explanation. I've had trouble with this type of stuff since I was a kid though so I don't think it's a product of training.

huhu posted:Would anyone happen to have any idea why a professor would require only pen for homework? My mechanical properties of materials professor is doing this and it sucks. The only time I've seen this is to prevent cheating after the fact. Say you fail some homework assignment and then erase your wrong answer, replace it, and go up to him to argue your grade. I'm a pretty messy writer so I always do my work in pencil on some side sheet and if I'm required to use pen then I'll write up a new copy in pen after I've completed the assignment. A way around this entire mess is to just hand in printed homework but some professors don't even allow that  Edit: Oh man! Beaten and a new page.

You might want to do some credit calculations to see if you'll fulfill your requirements in 4 years or 5 if you're doing that. At JHU you wouldn't graduate in 5 years taking 12 credits a semester unless you took some summer classes and you'd be 30 credits off of graduating in 4 years at 12 credits a semester. Also scheduling can become a problem as maybe in your senior year your last writing class will conflict with an engineering course... Just make sure you're not screwing yourself, basically
