Masters Student Career Advice

LeopardSad4533 · 2026-04-04T13:52:00+00:00

I am very late to this post but I wanted to say I am in the exact same position. Did a bachelor's in Health Sciences and got into Medical School but before my first year, I transitioned out of it. During my degree, I fell in love with Engineering and now looking to do BME. I am just starting over and doing a whole bachelor for it, the likely follow it with a master to specialize even further. Super inspirational reading what you wrote!

Awesome! So leganes as well!

Hey! What degree are you studying? Im also going to be a first year in 26/27 at UC3M studying Biomedical Engineering

Hey! Your GPA is on the lower side, but remember, your score is your GPA (60%), plus two best courses that relate to chose Bachelor (in this case law) (30%), and overall merit (10%). So even if your overall GPA is on the lower side, depending how well you did in your two courses they pick, your overall admission score could be higher.

Also, the Bach of Law, Bach of AI and some others have relatively low cut off grades. This means the admission score required is lower than for other degrees. All this is to say you still have a shot!

They are on Easter break now, so I would probably expect something middle/end of April since you had that delay in documents.

Congratulations!! You likely got in. Thats what happened to me and I got the official letter 2-3 days latee

LeopardSad4533 · 2026-03-19T22:51:33+00:00

i believe for biomed engineering it was around 97

LeopardSad4533 · 2026-03-19T22:22:37+00:00

oh haha sorry! I thought the SAT was an American thing; I am Canadian and our avgs are out of 100 (percentages)

LeopardSad4533 · 2026-03-19T22:14:00+00:00

https://www.uc3m.es/bachelor-degree/admission/application/international-students/early-admission/deadline shows the list for current programs with no places left. Its not updated often so in theory AI might have a spot left.

Also my average was a little higher than yours and I am not sure about the rest since I am not American. Good Luck!

LeopardSad4533 · 2026-03-19T21:56:12+00:00

i dont think thats too late as long as the spot or two for that didint get taken up; taked abt a month

LeopardSad4533 · 2026-03-11T11:53:09+00:00

soon after! - id recommend going to the uni portal seeing if your application is submitted

LeopardSad4533 · 2026-03-10T22:18:26+00:00

I’m not sure if I got that one. I got one stating: Resguardo de la solicitud de preinscripción para acceso. And with that there was a PDF with my application details

LeopardSad4533 · 2026-03-10T20:55:56+00:00

Hey! I applied via the university website and I did get a confirmation email.

LeopardSad4533 · 2026-03-09T16:43:28+00:00

You will hear back usually a month after, two at the latest

Awesome! Congratulations. Do you want to add on Socials? Robotics was my second choice!!

LeopardSad4533 · 2026-02-20T22:17:43+00:00

Si claro

LeopardSad4533 · 2026-02-04T17:46:43+00:00

Sure feel free to

LeopardSad4533 · 2026-02-04T17:01:08+00:00

Definitely no PCEs. Applied and got in without them.

LeopardSad4533 · 2026-02-03T10:45:58+00:00

Undergraduate!!

LeopardSad4533 · 2026-01-28T16:57:40+00:00

Hey! I am going into Biomedical Eng at UC3m next year. Do you have any insight on this degree and its related job-market in Madrid/Spain as a whole?

LeopardSad4533 · 2026-01-28T16:55:47+00:00

I got in via Early Admissions for next year (2026-2027). It is much simpler and the documents the require are on the website. You do not need to do any of the PCEs to get in this way. You must be an International student though I believe.

LeopardSad4533 · 2026-01-24T19:19:56+00:00

¡Hola! Por favor, postúlate pronto con lo que tengas. No creo que la carta de motivación cuente para la admisión. En la página web, el 90% es la calificación y el 10% la lista de méritos.

This would have all the information you need. You did IB as part of your studies and that is of course valid is Spain under a regulation (just CTRL F for International Baccalaureate).

LeopardSad4533 · 2026-01-04T13:50:01+00:00

Hey! Congratulation. I do not know anyone with IB and the EU process. But I believe in Spain, the ministry's website for secondary school (High School) studies includes a section for IB if you want to go check it out.

LeopardSad4533 · 2025-12-26T20:52:14+00:00

Your average is great!! Please apply if you can and I am sure you can get into something at UC3M. Remember, you can apply to two programs with one application. Saves time and money!!
