  1. Hey all, right now I'm finishing up my junior year in biology at a not very well known state school. My goal is to get into a funded program in plant pathology, molecular biology, or microbiology. Given my GPA and the details provided below, could you tell me if I have a shot? So a little about me: -- My first time around in school I received a 0.67 GPA after taking 24 credits. I took a few years off, went to a community college, and received an associates degree with a 3.71 GPA. I'm going to a state school now and my overall GPA (over the three schools) is a 3.0. I figure if I work hard over the next three semesters I should be able to get that number up to a 3.2-3.3. -- I did an independent study in mycology at the CC and gave a 20 minute presentation to the biology faculty and at the school's student research day. I'm also in the middle of a university grant funded independent research project that will take two more semesters to complete. I presented a poster at my current school's research day and plan on doing so next year as well. -- I previously had an internship with a county health department and I will be interning over the summer in a big name pharma company's bioanalytical lab. So far, I can count on two professors, my research advisor, and my supervisor at the health department for very strong LORs. Thanks so much for any input or advice you can give! Is there anything that I can do to make myself more competitive?
