Hey everyone, This is my first time applying to a PhD program, and I am terrified. I attended my undergrad school and I goofed off during my sophomore year, but I picked things up somewhat after that. I went on to apply and get accepted to the bs/ms program in my school where I achieved a 3.8 masters GPA with a thesis track. I am almost done with my thesis, but am pushing back a defense date until after I get accepted /rejected from schools. My PI is the director of a large program at the institution and is also involved in a partnership with memorial sloan Kettering. I am extremely interested in immunology, mainly the thymus. Further I want to get into either a thymus lab or a immunotherapy lab. Any suggestions are welcomed!
