Hi everyone,
I am applying to graduate school this upcoming fall and as it draws closer, I find myself getting more and more anxious regarding acceptances. I am applying to Immunology PhD programs. Currently, I am looking at a list of schools. Some include: Northwestern, Pitt, Boston University, Minnesota, Iowa, and Ohio State.
I have a lower GPA (3.2, Human Physiology major) than most applicants, and I am aware of this. However, I have almost 3 years of immunology research during my undergrad, as well as 2 summer internships from top programs in the field. I will be submitting rec letters from these internships, as well as my home university's lab.
I think my GPA is what is causing my worries. While programs state they require a 3.0 or above, I still feel like my GPA will cause me to not be a competitive candidate. Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
