Question

Hello everyone,

I currently a third-year undergraduate pursuing a B.S. in biochemistry with around a 3.0 GPA and the intent of obtaining a doctorate degree in the biological sciences upon graduation. What are my chances of entering a great graduate program?

Science Activities:

  • Three years of research experience (1.75 years at a top-20 institution and 1.25 years at an ivy league known to be a STEM superpower).
  • One research course focused on advanced functional genetics.
  • Honors including McNair E. Scholar, several Undergraduate Research Fellowships, and the Best Poster award from several conferences.
  • Given a poster presentation at six conferences, as well as an oral presentation at one conference.
  • Held an Undergraduate Teaching Assisting position for a Functional Genetics lab for three semesters.
  • Will potentially complete a Senior Thesis.
  • Have two publications (First Author + Third Author papers)

Non-Science Activities:

  • Drumline Founder and Instructor of a public middle school
  • Website Developer of a public city park
  • Note Taker at top-20 institution

Additionally, I am a First-Generation, Hispanic, Low-Income student.
