Overall GPA: 3.52/4.00 (once grades are submitted for the current semester next week Demographics/Background: female, Asian GRE Scores: Q:160 (76%) on the low end but not horrible V:159 (83%) W: 5.0 (93%)
LOR:
1.) PI at NIH
2.) Dean of Engineering College here
3.) Asst. Prof Research Experience:
1 year in computational lab (lung biomechanics), 1 summer in computational lab (lung biomechanics) & biomaterials lab, Summer intern at NIH (wet/dry systems neuroscience lab), all of this year in computational lab (cardiac mathematical modeling)
Publications/Abstracts/Presentations:
1 publication under review (4th author), 1 conference proceeding (2nd author), 1 abstract under review (first author)
a few abstracts just for research presented on campus, first author
writing Honors Thesis this year
Awards/Honors/Recognitions:
NIH Summer Intern, offer for Air force Research lab that I declined
Fellowships/Funding:
Applied for NSF and DoD
Pertinent Activities or Jobs:
Tutored Math for a Year
Other Miscellaneous Accomplishments:
President of Biomedical Engineering Society at UGA for a year
Research Interests:
systems modeling and simulations, mechanobiology
Institutions/Programs:
GATech, Rochester, Rensselaer, UConn, Brown, UPitt (applied for pHD in computational modeling here, but looking at profs in BioE dept), Clemson, UGA, U Wisconsin Madison, VTech/Wake Forest Joint Program, Northeastern U
Comments:
I already submitted by apps, but my grades for this semester are out in a couple weeks and they will bring my GPA up, should I try to send them to admissions offices?
Or should I wait for that journal article I'm a co-author on to go through the pipeline first before reaching out to schools?
When do we hear about interviews?
What are my chances? I am worried that my GRE and GPA are on the lower end, but I know I have good research XP (esp at NIH), but I wish that journal article had been published sooner
