Good luck getting into a good school with a B-. It is going to get worse from here. -
how to ask again for LOR after 3 years, a bit uncomfortable
Fun_Cookie replied to ghoory's topic in Letters of Recommendation
Just do it. Ask and know whether they say yes or no or never ask and keep wondering for the rest of your life. You are also a rude person for not contacting your recommenders. -
Its okay gnome is the resident loser of this forum. He will probably drop out during the first semester of grad school this fall. Anyway you should talk to advisors about this at your school and grad programs that you are interested in.

Young Biomed/Bio PhD Applicant - Please Give Advice
Fun_Cookie replied to blinchik's topic in Medical
Little bit late but hi! I am admitted to harvard and yale for their bbs programs this fall. I think your age doesn't really matter that much but i think that admission people seem to want older students more. This is because i saw a lot of 23 and older students at the interviews. However, your stat is competitive so you have a high chance of getting into a top 10 program. Just act decently at the interviews. -
There are tons of chinese exactly or better than you. Good luck!

how common is it to work in a lab for a year and not get any results?
Fun_Cookie replied to teletubbie's topic in Biology
Undergrad research is not the same as volunteer in a lab. If you don't have anything interesting things to put down on your statement of purpose, or for some crazy reasons they offer you an interview then you are screwed because you don't have anything to say that you did any work at all. I dont give a flying **** if you spend 40 hours a week doing cloning. To be successful in your PhD you need to get results. Talk to your PI now and try to get some numbers. -

The labs in davis are boring. The school and city are also dull. -
