Hi, I graduated from the University of Chicago last spring (2009) with a BA in Biology. My cumulative GPA is 3.07, with a major GPA of 3.2 and a GPA of 3.3 in my last two years of coursework. I did not (clearly) make a good start to my undergraduate studies and a combination of being away from home for the first time and college freedom(s) led to a poor first two years. I worked in a lab during my last two years (and will have my name on a publication as second or third author). Right now, I'm working in another lab as a technician. I'm wondering what my chances are of getting into graduate programs in biology and what I can do, at the moment, to improve those chances. I've yet to take the GREs, so I'll definitely work on getting good scores in those but I'm wondering if there is something else I can do. Thanks!
