  1. I've been lurking for awhile, but figured it might help ease my anxieties by finally making a post. Undergrad Institution: Top 5 science and engineering school Major(s): BioengineeringMinor(s): N/AGPA in Major: N/AOverall GPA: 3.2Position in Class: N/AType of Student: Domestic Hispanic maleGRE Scores (revised/old version): revisedQ: 165V: 165W: 5.5B: NoneResearch Experience: One year and counting in a synthetic biology lab that's well aligned with my research interests. No publications, but hopefully I'll have an abstract accepted to a major SynBio conference later this year. Summer research in a synthetic biology lab at another institution after my sophomore year. Summer research in a biochemistry lab after my freshman year. In general no publications, but I've written research reports for all of my summer research and have given oral presentations at on-campus seminar days for undergrads. Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Three summer research fellowships, that's about itPertinent Activities or Jobs: I'll be TAing an introductory bio class during the spring. Other than that I've been heavily involved in student government and play in the concert band. I also chaired a committee that examined/updated the bioengineering curriculum at my school. Special Bonus Points: Two of my letters of recommendation were from my last two research professors with the third coming from my academic adviser. All three of them seem to be well-known and resepected within the field of bioengineering. Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: GPA although still low has shot up over the past two years, mainly due to good grades in the advanced Bioengineering classes. Unfortunately low grades in some intro math and physics classes. Applying to Where:UChicago Genetics, Genomics and Systems Biology Columbia Systems Biology Northwestern IBiS Harvard Systems Biology MIT Computational and Systems Biology (CSBi) UWashington Bioengineering UT Austin Biomedical Engineering Arizona State Biomedical Engineering Boston University Biomedical Engineering Johns Hopkins Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering What do you guys think my chances are for any of the above programs?
