Seek for advice! low undergra GPA, Any Chance to get into a Bioinfor PhD program?

[yyyccc666]

Hello everyone,

 

I want to inquire about the application for bioinformatics phd. Any advice or comments is highly appreciated!

my background:

I got my bachelor  degree in Biological Pharmacy in China, and my undergraduate GPA was really low, only 3.28.... I did many public health and pharmacy research and got some awards in public health domain. (I know my gpa is too low...

I am a first-year master student in WashU med school, my major is biostatistics (actually the program  length is only 18 months). I got all A/A+ in all courses until now. I have worked as a RA in a bioinfor lab since my program started. My major project is benchmarking and PI told me there would be a paper for my data (but will publish in late 2022). I also will get another chance to get a strong LOR from another washu professor.

my aim:

I plan to apply for bioinformatics/biomedical informatics PhD programs in US. Could anyone give me any advice like what kind of school I have high/medium/fair chance to be admitted? I am just really anxious and worrying recently because I certainly know my background is really weak.. Thanks again for your patience and advice!! 

 

This is my first time to post, so plz tell me if I post a wrong place.
