    ilikeargyle got a reaction from biotechie in 2014 Applicant Profiles and Admissions Results   
    Hey all, I wanted to get an idea of whether my school list is okay. It's pretty top-heavy. I'm looking for a strong program in immunology and cell biology, with an emphasis on translational research. I'm also potentially interested in exploring developmental/stem cell biology.
     
    Undergraduate Institution: small liberal arts + state university (transferred for financial reasons)
    Major(s): Biology
    Minor(s): 
    GPA in Major: 3.39 (steep upward trend) 
    Overall GPA: 3.64
    Position in Class: unknown
    Type of Student: US female, first-generation college student

    GRE Scores (revised/old version):
    Q: 158 (72%)
    V: 159 (78%)
    W: 5.5 (97%)

    Research Experience: 
    -honors organic chemistry lab, did an independent project one semester
    -10 weeks @ ivy league full-time (immunology)
    -1 year @ medical school half full-time/half part-time (molecular, some structural)
    -2 years by matriculation @ NIH full-time (immunology and cell biology, some developmental)
    -2 third author publications, 1 second author in preparation, maybe 1 first author preparation by my fellowship's end
    -1 first author poster
     
    Awards/Honors/Recognitions:
    -dean's list 4 semesters, outstanding poster award, all research funded through application/scholarships/fellowships
     
    Pertinent Activities or Jobs:
    -tutor for underserved kids, leadership in school activities, high school mentor (to recruit into STEM/medicine)
     
    Special Bonus Points: I like wine? I'm super organized in lab (seriously)

    Applying to Where:
    Help on cutting down this list would be appreciated (i.e. who has cutoff scores/GPA).
    I'm looking to stay on either west/east coast (origin/significant other).
