GPA: 3.44 overall, 3.51 major, 3.72 jr./sr year

1.5 years in a neurobio lab at my school. Did a senior thesis right now on spinal motor control. Received 2 small grants from my school’s fellowship dept. for this.
No publications

<p>Hope this is useful to all you applicants this year, good luck!</p>
<p>Hello. I am applying for Fall 2012 term. I am interested in studying signaling pathways related to cancer and vascular growth and pharmacology. I have not had a chance to look at all of the earlier posts, but it seems my stats are rather lacking.</p>
<p>Stats: Small, private university in Florida
Major: Biochemistry. Minor: biology. Science GPA: 4.0
GRE: 530V, 570Q, 3.0W (Yeah, I suck at testing), but I retook the new GRE again in August. I don’t remember the exact score for verbal and quantitative, but the sum of both lies between 1100-1300. </p>
<p>Research experience: I spent two semesters working on a EPA-funded project for the EPA P3 Competition on greywater reuse. I helped to present the project at Washington D.C at the annual National Sustainability Design Expo. I also have a summer undergrad research experience in a microbiology lab at the University of Pittsburgh. I tried applying to six summer programs during my junior year, but I did not get accepted to any of them unfortunately. Also, I am in the process of getting an internship set up at the Mayo Clinic’s Clinical Research Internship Study Program which may become my senior project as well. </p>
<p>No publications. LORs from the two PIs I worked with in research projects, 2 more from profs I have taken classes with. </p>
<p>I am very concerned these stats are not enough to get into the following programs.</p>
<p>Harvard BBS
Yale BBS
Cornell Pharmacology
NYU
John Hopkin’s BCMB
UNC-Chapel Hill BBSP
Mayo Clinic</p>
<p>I guess the only safety schools that actually apply are UCF and University of Pittsburgh IBGP (I think). I am in the process of writing out the personal statement for these schools, but I wanted to know what are my chances are actually getting in.</p>
