| MIT's biology program is one of the top biology programs in the country. MIT, Harvard, and Stanford have probably the top three biology programs in the country at a graduate level, and all three programs are outstanding.
Virtually all MIT undergrads participate in research. MIT has a large number of professors and relatively few undergraduates, so there are plenty of spots in lab for everyone. The availability and depth of undergraduate research in the sciences and engineering is, I think, one of MIT's greatest strengths.
I can't comment as to the transfer -- as you are no doubt aware, it is very difficult to be admitted to MIT as a transfer student. |
