It is pretty interesting they gave out 2000 awards! I was awarded after second time applying as second year grad student. E/E,E/E,E/E

I am working in protein engineering enzymes for cancer therapy. I do have my own project but I am not published, however I am on a paper that is in preparation at the moment. I dont know why I have four to be honest, I guess I just wanted a back up letter of recommendation.

Hi Everyone! Let us make a new forum for upcoming bioengineering and biomedical engineering applications for Ph.D for Fall 2016! Here is my stats/ template for this forum! Undergrad Institution: UT Austin Major(s): Biomedical EngineeringMinor(s):NoneGPA in Major: 3.80Overall GPA: 3.84Position in Class: Top 30%Type of Student: FemaleGRE Scores (revised/old version): revisedQ: 165V: 156W: NAResearch Experience: 2 years at Brent Iverson George Georgiou Laboratory in Chemical Engineering - Learned things like: PCR, molecular cloning, competent cell prep, protein purification, primer design, protein structure analysis, PyMOL ,Geneious software, DNA sequencing, ELISA prep, Gibson Cloning, miniprepping, genomic library constructions Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Biomedical Engineering Honor Society, Undergraduate Research Fellowship, 3 scholarships, Dean's Honor List. Engineering ScholarPertinent Activities or Jobs: Chemistry Tutor for a professor at UT Austin, Mathnasium Tutoring Center, Myriad RBM testing and receiving serum and blood samplesAny Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: Attended and presented at 4 undergraduate research symposiums at UT Austin, presented at the Gulf Coast Undergraduate Research Symposium Special Bonus Points: Excellent LORs from widely known professors (one is my PI, one is a research scientist in our lab, 2 are other BME professors that I did well in their classes for), Applying to NSF fellowship as well Applying to Where: - Rice University - Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Program - University of Washington – Bioengineering Program - University of California at San Diego -Bioengineering - Stanford University – Bioengineering - MIT - Bioengineering - University of Texas at Austin – Biomedical Engineering and Chemical Engineering - Georgia Tech – Bioengineering - University of Chicago – Bioengineering - Northwestern University Can someone tell me what my chances are in getting into these schools? I feel like my GPA is quite low and may not be as competitive. Should I retake the GRE? Thanks, AQ
