Hi Everyone! I've been browsing this forum fairly regularly, but haven't formally contributed or introduced myself. Here's a little about me and the programs I've applied to:
Undergrad at state school not known for science - 3.58 GPA. 1.5+ yrs undergrad research. 2+ years post-graduation research as a tech. I've worked in 3 labs and my LORs were from my 3 PIs.
Invitations:
UC Berkeley Molecular & Cell Bio
U of Chicago Cancer Bio
Harvard BBS
U of Washington MCB
Rejections:
UC San Francisco Biomedical Sciences
Haven't heard from yet:
UTHealth MD Anderson Biomedical Sciences
UC San Diego Biomedical Sciences
Stanford Cancer Bio
I'm also an underrepresented minority and have participated in STEM minority organizations/events; therefore, that may have pushed my application along as well.
