Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! I wanted a review of my application this year for PhD programs and recommendations for potential schools. I have a list of schools I want to apply to, but I'm interested in names of schools I might have a good shot at.

Student Type: Indian Male

Undergrad and Grad school (integrated bachelor's and masters program) :  Govt. College, ranked in the top 25 in India

Major: Biology

GPA: 3.12 (converted from a 10-point scale), 3.42 only counting courses that count towards my major

Research: 2 years of part-time research work in three different labs, plus one year of full-time research in a fourth lab. I changed labs because I wanted to gain a diverse range of research experiences. Author on one preprint (not peer-reviewed).

Other Experience:

Lots of programming experience with Python and MATLAB, plus

Letters of Recommendation:  All three from professors I worked directly under.

I am guessing my GPA is the weakest part of my application. Any help/advice is appreciated.
