Also wondering this.. has anyone heard from NYU GSAS Biology program? I haven't seen anyone on here who has

Has anyone heard from the NYU GSAS Biology program? (Not Vilcek/Sackler)

Edit on a typo to my above post ^ my Verbal GRE score is 94th percentile, not 84

Can anyone please comment on my school choices compared to my stats? I don't have a good grasp of whether I am a strong applicant for these schools or should reconsider adding more safeties. Undergrad Institution: UC Berkeley Major(s): Molecular and Cell Biology Overall GPA: 3.47 Major GPA: Science GPA is 3.25 Type of Student: Domestic, female GRE Scores: (Although none of the programs require GRE, I'm hoping some will still consider my scores) Q 165 (85%) V 164 (84%) W 4.5 (80%) Research Experience: - Nearly three years (still working there today) in an academic bioengineering lab on campus, extensive wet lab experience and in vivo work. Including certification to perform cranial surgery on mice independently. One publication (mid author) from this work. Letter of rec coming from PI, as well as another from a former mentor who is now a professor at different university - Two summers of an internship at a small biotech company, although this was before college. Mostly molecular biology work done. Two conference posters from this. - One summer immunology internship at very well-known big pharma company (online internship because covid, mainly presented project proposals and lit surveys virtually). Co-first author or second author publication in development for submission (won't be submitted by application due date). Letter of rec coming from mentor. Extracurriculars: -One semester of inorganic chemistry class lab assistant -Two summers of TAing organic chemistry (given same roles as a grad student TA: instructing own lab section, proctoring tests, holding office hours, etc.) -One summer of assisting in a high school science extracurricular class -Volunteer at hospital emergency department for almost 3 years, although volunteered there non-consistently throughout the 3 years Awards/Honors/Recognitions: -Departmental honors program for my major to write a senior honors thesis. -Conducted research under the Chemical Engineering honors program for my school. -Dean's list: 2 times Applying to Where: NYU GSAS: Molecular Biology Weill Cornell BCMB Allied Program Rockefeller Bioscience Mt. Sinai Biomedical Sciences Columbia Biology UCSF Tetrad UCLA Molecular, Cellular, and Integrative Physiology USC Molecular Biology USC Keck: PIBBS: Programs in Biomedical and Biological Sciences Boston University Biology Maybe CUNY or SUNY in NYC? Or Fordham or Albert Einstein in NYC? Not sure if I need more safeties.. Any advice on my schools list is appreciated!!
