Hi all, currently finishing my junior fall semester and wanted advice for the goals I want to reach within the process of getting to a chem grad school (interested in organic ATM)
Goals: (Any top ten program), UNC, UM ann arbor, UC Berkley, Harvard
Current GPA:3.99
In Major:4.0
Research
Did Research at TAMU for summer 22, did research freshman spring till sophomore fall (2021), and now researching in total synthesis lab
Letters of Rec
Will get one from whoever my last PI is at my institution, one from TAMU, and looking for the last letter to be fulfilled by SURF or REU type program
GRE
Unsure, will probably take just in case
Awards
ACS scholar
What are my odds of getting to a top school? Is there anything I should focus on especially to get in? I've heard some people say to really focus on my research and maybe relax on my grades a little but I'm unsure if that's the right call.
