lattee Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 Hi Everyone. I'm trying to come up with a list of schools that are feasible for me after bombing my undergrad gpa as a pre-med underclassman. I'm thinking that GRE and prereq grades can make up for my weak undergraduate performance but I'm not sure if I'm being too optimistic. Programs Applying: Biostatistics MS Undergrad Institution: Ivy LeagueMajor: PsychologyMinor: BiologyUndergrad GPA: 3.30Type of Student: Domestic, Black, Female GRE: Haven't taken yet but my average based on practice tests is 164V (94%), 167Q (89%) Relevant Coursework: Taken at Ivy- Calc 1 (C-), Stat 1 (A), Stat 2 (B); Taken at community college post graduation- Calc 1 (A), Calc 2 (A), Calc 3 (A), Linear Algebra (A) Research/Work Experience: Undergraduate research assistant (2 years doing data collection resulting in 2 authorship for publications), nursing assistant (1 year part time), Clinical research coordinator (2 years full time) Schools I’m interested in (hoping to stay near the east coast or midwest) : Reach: Duke, Johns Hopkins, Columbia Match?: Rutgers, UNC, UMICH, Drexel, Temple Safety: I'm not sure if anywhere is safe I would love to hear you guys' thoughts and suggestions. Thanks!
bayessays Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 You went to an Ivy League school and have one bad math grade, and a great GRE score. I don't think those reaches are big reaches. Drexel and Temple are more than safe enough. I would recommend just adding more schools like Brown, Minnesota, Penn.
