  1. I am applying to 10 Biology PhD programs and am using a doctor that I shadowed as one of my letters of recommendation. I am extremely nervous now, as it seems like an academic reference would’ve been a better choice. I have professors that would love to write me a LOR, but throughout this process, I thought that a personal reference (doctor I shadowed) would speak to my overall character (hoping admissions counselors would see it as “this person is easy to work with”). However, with three days left to submit these applications, I must stick with that decision. I am wondering what peoples thoughts are on this matter? Should I include a brief paragraph with my application including this information? Should I withdraw my application completely? Any information would be incredibly helpful, as I am freaking out about this. My other two LORs are a CEO from a biotech i interned for, and my PI.
  2. Hey everyone, I would massively appreciate someone to give me some advice on my SOP. I am applying to approximately 15 programs, but using the same base for each program. Is this wise? can someone read over it, to make sure it covers all the bases? Please let me know ❤️
  3. I am a Bio student at USD and have approximately a 3.1-2 overall GPA but a 3.6 major GPA and have done really well the last few semesters. I’m already studying really hard for the GRE in October. I’ve worked at a biotech company for 5 months (but did very little actual lab work), and will be 1st publisher on my research once I submit it at the end of summer. I also have extremely strong letters of rec. I’m planning on applying to bio PhD schools and was wondering if I had any shot? I would like to end up in like a top 50 grad school.
