Master in Biomedical Engineering and Engineering & Technology Innovation Management - Batch of 2027

Brought out my potential.
Tips: I would say that I underestimated the workload here, and after a semester or so, I realised the true intensity of studying. You're also surrounded by some of the smartest and intellectually curious individuals, which certainly helps in broadening your way of thinking. Out of classroom exposure is emphasised as much as within the classrooms, so make sure you get a chance to experience it all.

Place to aspire to study.
Tips: I have experienced a lot of change in my attitude and outlook on how I perceive things and situations. CMU has a very global campus, so you'll meet people from all over the world, especially India. Lots of resources as well, which you should make use of. People can be a bit more reserved than you'd expect, and the classes have a very high academic standard. Try not to burn out during your time here.

Good place and friendly people.
Tips: CMU is one of the most reputed institutions in the USA for various reasons. The quality of education and teaching is among the best. Our professors are well-known in their industries, and students gain a lot of independence. It's also very competitive. While most of us came here for work and settlement opportunities, the current situation makes that seem unrealistic. However, there is a supportive community.

Competitive and studious environment.
Tips: I came here with an open mind and a willingness to learn, which are important for enjoying what CMU has to offer. The post-work situation is complicated, as companies don't offer sponsorships as easily anymore. While I didn't receive a scholarship, I did get early admission, which made my decision to study here easier.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): There are very limited job opportunities here in the United States, so be prepared for the challenges, which may take a few years to overcome. Many companies are unwilling to offer sponsorships, which complicates the process.

Great faculty and demanding academics.
Tips: The academic workload is demanding, with many assignments and projects, but there are many exciting opportunities to explore. The campus is very active, and I highly recommend joining a club or two to fully immerse yourself in the CMU experience. Students from diverse backgrounds come here, and it's a great place for those who are truly qualified. Make the most of it! Overall, I am very satisfied.
