    2013 Applicant Profiles and Admission Results

    in Biology

    Posted

    Guess I never got to posting my stuff. Here's my wrap-up anyway.

     

     

    Undergrad: Top 10 school (USNWR)
    Majors: Biology, Music
    Minor: Chemistry
    GPA in Biology: ~3.1 (last 2 yrs was >3.5)
    Overall GPA: ~3.2 (last 2 yrs was >3.5)
    GRE percent: Q/V in the 90s,  W/Bio in the 70s
     
    Research Exp: Pretty much all over Biology, looking to focus now on what I did in the main lab I worked in as an undergrad. Got BS a couple of years ago, have had a bunch of science jobs in all different fields since. Have a mid-authorship in a mid-tier journal, couple conference talks, etc.
     
    Misc: I thought my application was strong except for the very bad GPA. Looking back I think the most important thing to have in the apps is momentum, and by that I mean having a serious desire to go to graduate school beyond just going through the motions as an undergrad.
     
    Still Waiting:
    Harvard OEB, UT-Austin PB
     
    Rejected:
    No interview: UNC-CH BBSP, NYU Biology, Rice BCB
    Declined interview: UVM CMB, NCSU Genetics, NCSU Biochem
    Post-interview: CSHL-WSBS
    Waitlisted: Brown MCB
     
    Accepted:
    UT-Austin ICMB, Yale BBS, Dartmouth MCB, UMD-CP BISI, UMass-Amherst MCB, UMass-Amherst PB
     
    Heading to Yale!

    @flat_rhino it was via email

     

    btw have fun touring UNC, people that made it. Their Genome Sciences building was finished last August. It has an Ikea-like vibe to it (in a good way) with a Starbucks on the ground floor and a glowing double helix staircase running up the middle. Weather's great here too.
