  1. Hey, I thought about doing the same thing, but in general, I think it would look better if you could draw and extrapolate upon your own data and information.
  2. I hope everybody gets into a program in which they are happy. I am currently playing the waiting game when it comes to interview invitations. Has anybody heard from UCSD? I've been under review for a few months now and haven't heard anything. I assume most places review apps based on when they were submitted. Has anyone found this true? Lastly, any advice for interviews? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Applied to (9/0): Baylor College of Medicine, UT-Southwestern, Carnegie Mellon, UNC-Chapel Hill, Emory, UCSD, Michigan, Wisconsin, UTHSC-Houston, Rejected (2/9): Wisconsin, Michigan (yay for not having to go interview during their winter!) Interview (2/9): Baylor College of Medicine, Carnegie Mellon (Interviews coming up) Accepted (0/9):
  3. Thanks. I've been starting to dabble into MS programs. My junior/senior GPA is a 3.5. It's not spectacular. If all else fails, I'll reapply again next year with a slightly stronger GPA, two publications and a few presentations under my belt. Furthermore, I've heard mixed opinions about the subject tests. I didn't take one, and it's going to be too late for this round of admissions given that I'm still in school. The weird part is that my PI wants me to stay here (same school) for my Ph.D since it's a top 30 program, but not continue to work in his lab since I'm finishing all the transcription work in the lab. Haha. Again. Thanks.
  4. Also, my lower division classes are where my grades struggled. My upper division courses are mostly As and Bs.
  5. Undergrad Institution: Large Public Institution. Very good reputation in biology Major(s): Cell and Molecular Biology Minor(s): GPA in Major: 2.8 in science (This has actually been on an upward trend in the past year) Overall GPA: 3.1 overall Position in Class: Average Type of Student: Hispanic (Don't know if gay is relevant here, too) GRE Scores (revised/old version): Q: 160 (78%) V: 156 (71%) W: 5.0 (93%) B: n/a Research Experience: 1 year of research experience in my lab. Within that year, have already co-authored on a paper. Will primary author on a paper by the time I graduate. Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Crossing my fingers for a small fellowship application. Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Undergraduate Research Assistant Special Bonus Points: Really strong recs. Pretty decent writer, so SoP should be good. Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: I do have a low GPA, but it is a result of my transfer year and adjustments. I got pretty heavily involved in (light) drugs, but cleaned myself up over a year ago. Applying to Where: UW- Seattle. Molecular Genetics/Cell Regulation. Applying as my reach. UCSF - One of my recs works here. UT-Austin - ICMB. UW-Madison - Cell and Molecular UM- Ann Arbor - Cell and Molecular WashU - Cell and Molecular UNC-Chapel Hill - Cell and Molecular UT-Southwestern - Cancer biology/Cell regulation Baylor College of Medicine - Molecular
