geneticginger Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Now that I'm finished with the dreaded Physics final I thought I would finally post where I'm applying. Undergrad Institution: North Carolina State UniversityMajor(s): Genetics and English Minor(s):GPA in Major: 3.61/4.0Overall GPA: 3.74/4.0Position in Class: top 25%Type of Student: Female, domestic GRE Scores (revised/old version):Q: 156V: 156W: 4.5Research Experience: 6-month research experience in a drosophila lab examining hox gene expression during high school 5-month research experience in mouse skin cancer lab performing experiments on heat shock vs liquid nitrogen tissue collection 8-month research experience driving my own project on endangered red wolves to find a gene causing a degenerative retinal disease using WGS and exome sequencing. Currently working in an epigenetics lab (for 2 months now) researching the effect of BPA on imprinted genes in mouse embryonic stem cells (didn't mention this in my apps because I hadn't started working there yet). Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Several Scholarships; Spoke at the NCSU Comparative Medicine Institute annual Symposium to promote multi-disciplinary study and highlight the research performed in the red wolf, Dean's list all four years of collegePertinent Activities or Jobs: Worked as a CGxP Project Specialist in a Biotechnology/Tech Transfer/Quality Assurance company to provide CGxP and engineering support on biopharmaceutical factory design.Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: Extensive experience in administration and leadership and teaching experience from time spent in Kosovo.Special Bonus Points: I worked in the lab of a renowned dog cancer geneticist who helped sequence the dog genome and wrote me a letter of recommendation.Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: I graduated from high school at 16 and will graduate from college at 20. I mentioned this in my personal statement to highlight my academic ability but I wonder if this will end up hurting me as maybe some graduate schools want someone older because they think someone older may be more adjusted to the difficulty of graduate schools? I am also a double major in Genetics and English which diversifies me as a candidate and solidifies my ability to write Applying to Where: UPenn-CAMB-Genetics and Gene Regulation Emory-GMB N.C. State - Genetics Duke - UPGG UNC-Chapel Hill- BBSP I've only heard back from Emory for a Skype interview and I'm getting a bit nervous about my chances at getting interviews at other schools... I'm not sure if I haven't heard back because I'm young because I've been told I have a strong application and great letters of recommendation.
