  1. I do plan to leave the exploration part from my SoP and interviews and focus on my experience and interest in biophysics. I realise that Rockstar scientists are in many less known universities as well. But since I still want to have some flexibility in the fields I would work on, I thought the density of very good scientists would be better in top universities. But you're right, I should think of replacing some top programs with less known programs with great researchers. Could you also comment on what chance I could have in the listed programs? Thanks
  2. I'm starting my SoP now. Someone please help! I'm applying to biology programs in the US.
  3. My identity would be a giveaway if I told you that. Sorry Can I ask you yours? (It's not fair, I know)
  4. Biophysics and systems biology. But I don't have experience in the latter, just courses. But, I would like to have the chance to explore other fields as well. Hence, I'm applying to the interdepartmental biology programs.
  5. Undergrad Institution: Top institute in India (Comparable to IIT)Major(s): BiologyMinor(s): PhysicsGPA in Major: equivalent to 3.85-3.95 Overall GPA: equivalent to 3.75Position in Class: not sure, second among biology majors (not sure if this is required)General GRE Scores (revised version) Q:166V:163W:4.0Subject GRE Scores Yet to take TOEFL Score Yet to take Research Experience: 2 summer internships in my home institution (one after 12th grade, the other after sophomore year) in crystallography and cancer biology, 1 summer internship in TIFR (one of the top research institutes in India, but not in Biology), 1 summer internship in UCSD in collaboration with Professors in UFlorida (after junior year) in structural biology/virology, undergrad final project in my home institution on protein folding/biophysics; presented a poster in a student symposium.Awards/Honors/Recognitions: NTSE (National Talent Search Examination) State Scholar, KVPY (Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana) Scholar, Khorana Scholar.Pertinent Activities or Jobs: None. Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help:NCAT (National Creativity and Aptitude Test) All India rank 14, HBCSE-NIUS (Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education - National Institute of Undergraduate Studies) Fellow, Top 1% in Regional Biology Olympiad. Applying to Where (thinking of) : Stanford Biosciences Program UCSF Tetrad Program UCSD Biological Sciences Program Johns Hopkins CMDB and PCMB Programs Harvard BBS Program Cornell BBS Program UC Davis BMCDB Program NYU Biology Program University of Southern California Cancer Biology and Genomics Program Purdue University Biological Sciences Program University of Michigan-Ann Arbor MCDB Program McGill University/University of British Columbia/University of Toronto This is a very, very preliminary list. I'm looking at integrated biology and multidisciplinary programs. It'd be of great help if you guys could tell me what my odds in these programs are. I'd be grateful if you have suggestions of other programs. Thanks!
