  1. I completed a thesis based masters in 2 years while working full time. So.....if you do take more time than the average you should probably explain why it took the additional time. Programs are going to wonder if it will take you 7+ years to finish a PhD.
  2. I have used laboratory in my SOPs since it is a formal document.
  3. I'm also a JHU grad (bio) with a 2.9 GPA.....I took time off to do exactly what you did- get some experience, publications, presentations ect... my GREs are similar to yours but I decided to also do a masters post undergrad with a 3.9 GPA (at JHU).... anyone have an idea if my master's GPA might make up for my undergrad GPA?
  4. I am so not ready for this to be reality.......... Undergrad Institution: The Johns Hopkins University (JHU), Biology GPA in Major:3.0 Overall GPA:2.8 Masters GPA: 3.9 (JHU Biotechnology Program with Thesis) GRE Quant: 160 GRE Verbal: 158 GRE Analytical Writing: 4.5 I've been in the immunogenetics field since June 2009. I've got 5 years of clinical lab experience and 4 years of research with a thesis (masters was part time for 2 years while working 40+ hours a week and taking call) . Additionally my thesis research has been presented at 3 national meetings ( American Heart Association, American Society for Histocompatability and Immunogenetics and Immunocor- Directors Meeting). My undergrad GPA is low, I know. I lost some focus during undergrad but obviously have shown how serious I am about my academics now considering my performance in my masters program. I've got very strong LORs (my masters academic advisor/ Director of masters program) even asked me to guest lecture in his class this Fall, ::exciting:: in addition to two very tenured professors at JHU School of Medicine. One LOR is a UNC immunology alum One LOR is a Duke Immunology alum I have one professional connection at Washington U. Honest opinions...... Applying to- Johns Hopkins University-Immunology JHU-MMI UPenn-Hershey-Biological Sciences Duke-Immunology UNC-Chapel Hill-Immunology University Miami (FL)- Biological Sciences Washington University in St. Louis (WashU) - Biological Sciences, Immunology Best of luck everyone! P.S. When is everyone planning on completing their applications????
  5. Looking to get an unbiased opinion.....
