Hello!
I'm trying to get into the following:
Harvard - BOTH BBS and Viro
Princeton - Mol Bio (still on the fence about this one)
UWashington - Mol Med & Mech of Diseases (M3D)
George Washington U - Micro-Immuno
UHouston - Biochem
Purdue - Med Chem
U Rochester (not sure yet)
UT San Antonio
Profile, I guess:
Educ: Biochem undergrad, 2.7 GPA (not looking good huh), currently in another grad school 3.0 GPA but won't finish. both top Unis in the Philippines
Research experience: 2 years on diff field but w/ 2 publications, first author on one. Co-author on a book w/ national award. oral presentation, too.
4 years teaching experience in 2 of top unis here.
Other points of consideration: Filipino, queer. planning to specialize in studying HIV (im PLHIV so that can probably be an asset when writing the SoP???)
Thoughts? Advice? Any recommendations of other programs? Thanks!
