I know it's a little late to the game, considering it's already December, but if I can get some feedback on my application strength that would hopefully relieve some of the anxiety I have right now
Overall GPA: 3.22
Major GPA: 3.66
Research: 1 year of research doing organometallics, no publication
LOR: 2 strong letters from my O.chem I professor and from my research advisor. Last one is coming from my P.chem professor, really not sure how strong this one is.
GRE: Double 150's in both Q and V (I will be retaking the test because that's a really bad score )
Planning on applying to the following PhD programs:
UC Davis
UC Riverside
Texas A&M (my research advisor graduated from here and says I have a good chance, supposedly)
UC Santa Cruz
I've also had an officer position in an organization for 3 years now, if that makes any difference.
I've been told that because I am Hispanic it will be easier for me to be accepted, although I honestly don't believe that. Any info on these schools would be awesome
