  1. Thank you! I received the email of admission on last Friday.
  2. Yeah, I have heard before Irvine was really nice, but expensive at the same time. It's good to hear Irvine has lots of opportunities. Hope I can catch one chance there!
  3. I am studying in Colorado State University(CSU) now. I have worked in two labs belonging to Mycobacteria Research Laboratories in CSU. I feel the most important thing is your experience and interest in this field. Good luck!
  4. Thank you! I know the program in Northwestern provides lots of engineering courses which I think is very helpful. Since the biotech and pharma markets are so competitive, I really want to be prepared more about the future. Do you have any recommended classes you think are really useful?
  5. Thank you! My major in college now is Microbiology and I spent more than one year in multiple research labs. In addition, I am a science tutor and TA. I think good grades and research experience are important for graduate school application. Hope it helps and good luck!
  6. Thanks for sharing your opinion with me! I actually applied the MS Biotech at Northwestern, which's my dream program, but they put me on the wait list... I really want to work in biophar companies, but I have heard it's getting harder and harder for international students because the companies do not want to provide sponsorship. Do you know which field in biotechnology is widely used and good for job finding? Thanks again!
  7. Thanks for your response, rewindmind! I am actually more intended to go into industry after graduation. You are right. The big thing of Columbia is its reputation. In addition, this program provide more flexibility of courses. Besides biotechnology, students can select classes varying from business, engineering to statistics. UCI is better for research. As for the place, I am not a fan of big city so NY is not really attracted to me. I guess I will like Irvine more. It seems you are in UCLA. Do you know whether there are lots of pharmaceutical or biotechnological companies in this area? Thanks!
  8. I got the admission from Biotechnology MS Program in UCIrvine and Biotechnology MA Program in Columbia University. Columbia has higher rank but it is a one-year program which provides less time for research. The program in UCIrvine is a two-year program and student participant in research in the second year. I am kind of struggling where to go. My current goal is find a job in pharmaceutical company after graduation. Which one may be better for me? Thanks!!
