Hi all,
I'm at my 4th year and anxiously applying for 23 Fall entry.
Major : Computational and System Biology (minor stat)
Undergrad : UC system
GPA : 3.5 / 4.0 (I can try to get better this quarter)
GRE : 331 (3.0)
Research experience : no publication
9 months research experience at an MCDB lab doing image analysis with a given U-net package
Work experience : 9 months teaching assistant in high school as I have no accommodation in COVID time.
I'm interested in the bio/medical imaging or image processing field, so I've been looking at several programs in the US.
Harvard BMI
Stanford BMI
CMU Comp Bio
UCLA MII (but they say they are only taking MS from their BS/MS, really unsure) / Bioengineering
UCB Bioeng-Biomedical Imaging
UPitts BMI
My biggest concern is my research experience is rather short and without an outstanding GPA, would it be too high aims for an international student? Should I try more programs?
I heard that UCSF generally disfavor international students? Also, it seems not many people apply to UWash-Seattle, do anyone know why?
Any advice would be really appreciated !
