I am thinking about applying to other private schools as well. What do you think about Case Western Reverse University?

I am a student in MSU. I am majoring in Biotechnology and Microbiology. I don't spend much time outside. This town is quite small; however, i love this school. People are overall nice. If you want more details about anything, just let me know.

Hi. I am currently living here.

Status: international student GPA: 3.81 overall (3.85 in Microbiology, 3.81 in Biotechnology) GRE: V: 158, Q: 162, W: 4 Research experience: 2 years undergrad. 4 different projects. Have 1 poster presentation so far. I am planning to apply for these 4 following schools in Microbiology Purdue, West Lafayette Iowa State University University of North Dakota University of Kansas.

Haha. I am very happy that you guys answer my questions so quickly. I am currently registering: Bioengineering, Biological instrumentation, Dianostic parasitogy and molecular. Tbh, I am feeling that I will not be able to get straight As and study for GRE at the same time. Probably I will take Biological instrumentation next year

I am just wondering how many credits do you guys usually take in one semester?

Thank you so much for your advice. I think I should do it as well. Perhaps I will take it in my last semester since my school offers organic chem II only during Spring sem

Oh I got A in Organic chem I. I really want to take Organic Chem II but it conflicts with my Bioengineering class. My advisor said i should be okay, but I don't trust him. haha

Hello guys, I am just wondering whether I have to take Organic Chemistry II in order to apply for Microbiology PhD program? In my degree, Organic Chemistry II is not mandatory.

Yes. I am getting my bachelor degrees in the US. I am not aiming for the top schools since I am not very confident with my grades and experience. One thing I do know is I love doing research and studying microbiology Can you guys recommend me some other schools beside Purdue for Microbiology. I am interested in mid-tier schools.

Hello guys, my name is Anh and I am international student in the US. I am wondering whether I can get into Microbiology PhD program (especially in Purdue) with my stats: Double majoring in Biotechnology/Microbiology GPA in major: Biotechnology 3.80; Microbiology 3.85. Research experience: 1 year so far (2 years when I graduate). My research topics are Mycobacterium paratuberculosis and Earthoworm symbionts. I haven't taken any GRE or TOELF tests yet. I have 3 professors can write me strong letters recommendation I am planning to take them this summer and finish my application before November 2015. I am quite nervous now since many accepted individuals have more than 2 years of research experience. Thank you.
