Im interviewing during the first weekend in February too.

I got an email two days ago saying they would send more details in February for the interviews

Just got an invite from UNC BBSP!

Pharmacology

I just got an email invite to Weill Cornell !!

I heard back yesterday from UT Southwestern

What types of classes would cause an impression for admissions?

My first research was for a year and then my other have been summer positions in industry labs. The PIs have written my letters as well as a bio professor all of which seem to be good letters. I realize that those are very distinct program but my biochemistry and biology classes have prepared me for pharm and my math and comp sci meet the requirements for bioengineering.

I apologize for the large typeset, this is my first post on here and I tried to copy and paste with weird results:(

Undergrad Institution: UNM mid-size state school Major(s): Biochemistry Minor(s): Math Overall GPA: 3.77 Position in Class: not sure Type of Student: Domestic white male GRE Scores: Taking at the start of the June Q: V: W: B: Research Experience: Lab assistant in molecular genetics lab on campus Novartis Summer Intern 2015 (hoping to get a paper out, but not sure if it’ll happen before I apply) Scripps Summer Intern 2016 Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Deans list Pertinent Activities or Jobs: STEM Tutor Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: Ill have good LORs from two PIs and not sure on a third one yet. Special Bonus Points: (Such as connections, grad classes, famous recommenders, female or minority status etc...) Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: Applying to Where: Harvard BBS Stanford Biosciences UC Berkeley Bioengineering UCSF pharmaceutical sciences U Minnesota Pharmaceutical sciences MAYO U Mass Amherst Molecular and cell bio Tufts pharmacology Boston U Pharmacology UC Denver cancer bio, pharma, or HMGG U Washington Pharmaceutics or genome sciences U Penn pharmacology or bioengineering UT Austin pharmaceuticals RICE Biochemistry I am interested in pharma as well as bioengineering and I think my math course have prepared me well enough for that latter field. I have a lot of schools I am interested in but probably wont apply to all of them to due fee costs. I haven’t taken the GRE yet but I think I will due well due to my math background (fingers crossed). I am concerned about getting into the schools above due to my average GPA and lack of publications. I am not sure what to consider “safe school” and I would appreciate any suggestions as well as recommendations to other safe schools.
