Editor's notes

• Emory's BME PhD is the joint Coulter Department program with Georgia Tech, and PhD applicants apply through Georgia Tech's portal, not Emory's, by December 1, 2026. Emory's Laney page describes research strengths in biomechanics, imaging and optics, cellular and biomaterials engineering, computational systems analysis, and healthcare informatics, so tie your statement of purpose to one of these and to Emory-based faculty if clinical collaboration matters to you. The department lists only a CV, statement of purpose and transcripts, so the statement does most of the work. The MSBID-AT master's is a separate Emory application with a three-page statement limit and its own deadlines.
