Hey guys, I've been lurking this thread (and others like it) for a while, and thought it was high time I posted. As someone pretty fresh out of school with absolutely no relevant experience or publications, its more than likely that I won't be recommended for admission this year. I'm really passionate about epidemiology and have a background in biology and statistics with a ~3.4 gpa. So yea, I'm not exactly sitting pretty. Can anyone share some advice as to how I can make myself a more competitive candidate in the future?
