Hi All,
I applied to Indiana U, SLC, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Stanislaus, and Northwestern. Just got the rejection from Wisconsin, trying to remain optimistic. SO hard explaining this admissions process to family/friends/coworkers etc. I've been looking at this forum and torturing myself trying to calculate my odds... so I thought I would share my story incase it helps anyone in a similar situation
Info about me:
3.21 GPA, 159/153/4.5 GRE (Yes, I am worried about how these numbers will affect my future)
Graduated Spring 2015 from Indiana U w/ B.A. Biology (4 year Varsity athlete)
Currently working in Biochem/Molecular Gen/Epigen lab at Northwestern researching in vivo/pre-clinical therapies for Leukemia (Patiently awaiting publication)
Attend weekly seminars in Biochem/Molec Gen/Epigen, Clinical Conference on NF, Grand Rounds in Hem/Onc etc, Northwestern GC Workshop 2017
Interviewed 2 GC's and shadowed one in Clinic (Pediatric Metabolic Disorders, General Pediatric Genetics, Neurofibromatosis)
1 year DV Hotline experience, 8+ months experience with disability advocacy, and some other loosely related volunteer experience I hope to have spun in my favor
I was just rejected from Wisconsin - Could have been because I submitted my personal statements as 3 pages single spaced, realized my mistake but wasn't able to resubmit with correct version - Could have been anything (I dunno!).
Has anyone heard back from Indiana University (+/-)? Minnesota?
Wishing everyone else luck and fruitful page-refreshing
