Hi 

 

We have several overlaps. I ended up applying for 15 programs:
- Stanford Genetics/BMI
- Harvard BIG, BBS, 
- MIT CSB, Biology
- Princeton QCB
- Yale CBB
- Columbia BMI
- Tri-Institutional CBM
- Skaggs-Oxford

- WUSTL

- Carnegie Mellon (CMU-Pitt)

- University of Southern California

- MD Anderson

Stats (as mentioned in the first post):
(1) International student 
(2) BSc and MPhil from an Australian University, and recently MSc Bioinformatics at Johns Hopkins
(3) GPA: 3.91 for JHU MS (but very low GPA from my foreign BSc when converted to 4.0 scale)
(4) LOR: Two senior professors (one HoD at Stanford and another was the Director of an Australian Institute for more than a decade). Two more letters from a post-doc (now asst prof) and a program director.
(5) Research experience: 5 years of relevant research with one first-author publication.
 

Question:
Do you think my profile is competitive for those programs as an international student?

I overlap with you with Yale, CMU -pitt, and Southern California ( just got the waiver)

Hmmmn, no University of Washington?  Its my understanding it is one of the premier programs?

I choose those based on (Program, Location, previous Egyptians there, and fee waiver) 
I hope i get into one of those :"

This is my second round of applying; I applied last year but got all rejections. 
I am an international student who has a bachelor's degree in biomedical sciences, Computational Biology, and genomics concentration. 
I graduated from ABET accredited University in Egypt.
GPA 3.57/4.00 with Honors.
One publication in Scientific reports based on my Bachelor thesis, first author with equal contribution. 

8 months of experience in the Biotech industry as an R&D bioinformatician. 
No GRE, 7.5 IELTS. 
Courses in Undergraduate studies: 
Basic biology courses plus: Molecular biology, comparative biology, Developmental biology, structural biology, Human genome, and disease. 
Basic chemistry courses plus: Analytical and Physical chemistry
Calculus 1 and 2, Linear algebra, Discrete Math, Numerical analysis, and Biostatistics. 
Introduction to programming, Data Science, Systems biology, Bioinformatics, Data Structure, and Algorithms for Computational Biology

I have 3 strong recommendations, and I submitted 4 recommendations in some of them. 

My list: 
Virginia Tech:   Genetics, Bioinformatics, and Computational Biology
University of Tennessee in Knoxville: Ph.D. in Genome tech
Brown university: Ph.D. in Computational Biology
Cornell:  Computational Biology PhD
Emory: Genetics and Molecular Biology Ph.D. with Computational Biology concentration

I didn't find it in 'Biology' Section, so i thought it wasn't started 
i will reply there 
THanks !
