Undergrad: Large Research University, strong in Bio
Majors: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Minor: -
GPA in Biology: 4.00
Overall GPA: 3.92
GRE percent: Q/V in the 80s, W around 50, Biochem: Upper 80s low 90s
Research Exp: Worked in a microbio training lab in freshman/sophomore year. Did summer research program (Amgen Scholars/SSRP) at Stanford in biochemistry/enzymology. Working currently in a Structural Enzymology lab currently.
Misc: Application seemed very strong going in and it went really well overall. I think my letters of rec were actually strongest, 3 of them were from well known PIs in the field that I either did research with or took a class with (I submitted a fourth from first PI who was less well known). Having trouble deciding where to go though haha. Largely interested in topics in Biochemistry/Structural Biology/Chemical Biology but open to anything really.
