Applying to Systems Biology from a non biology major: International Student

[jesseeisenberg]

Hi,

 

I am in a dilemma,because I am interested in Computational Biology/ Biophysics, but my institution does not give a separate minor in this field. I am an EECS major, in my senior year, and am looking for applying to Computational Biology groups, because I have (some) research experience in Biophysics and Systems Biology.

 

My Profile:

 

Undergrad school: Indian Institute of Technology,

Major: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

GPA: 3.98, Top of my class

Type of Student: International

Research interests: Systems biology, Engineering in Biology

 

Research Experience:

• Two years in a sys bio group in my home institution,
• One summer in a biophysics lab at MIT
• One summer in a (somewhat related to dynamical systems, but not bio) lab
•  

Conferences:

• One IEEE Conference in Medicine
• One IEEE Conference (floating)

 

How would you rate my position with :

• Harvard Systems Biology,
• MIT CSBi
• Princeton Quantitative Biology
