teabag Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Hi all, I'm currently finishing up my bachelor's in Asa, with one more semester to go. I'm thinking of applying for 2020 Spring or 2020 Fall semester. Major : Biology (Double Major in non-bio related) Undergrad : Asia GPA : around 3.5 - 3.6 / 4.0 ( the highest I can bring up is around 3.67 ) GRE : around average ( haven't taken the official test ) Research experience : no publication 10 month research experience at a wet-lab 2 month internship at a bioinformatics lab I'm interested in the genomics/bioinformatics field (not in developing bioinformatic tools, but using the tools for research in bio) so I've been looking at several umbrella programs in Canada and the US. My biggest concern is I don't have extensive research experience nor an outstanding GPA, and I just have no clue how competitive it is for international students. Do you think I have chances for top 10-30 masters program ? Any advice would be really appreciated ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walfred Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 international bioinformatics student here, but I am applying phd if you have 3.5-3.6 from top universities, should be fine. And you need a computational background for bioinfor. Maybe get a full score for you gre quant ? Otherwise recommend apply wet lab. jmillar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky_china Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 publication is not a big thing for master. But have you had any computer science / stats background shown without that its tough. Also an important part of the international applicant is TOEFL. if you don't have a certain score, some program just throw a way your result. (make sure you get that one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
