<p>Hey Lotus,</p>
<p>i actually don’t know why none of them got a job in the industry, they had GPA’s near 3.6, they ALL said they had wished they did a business/econ major because i guess (according to them) no one hires bioinformatics w/o a graduate diploma (MS/PhD). I honestly don’t know why they didn’t get jobs, i have met plethora of people who got screwed after doing a bachelors in biology, bioinf in the bio dept, etc. if you’re going to do the bioinf, i don’t really know what to tell you because if you look at caltech’s graduate website for bioE</p>
<p>[Bioengineering</a> :: News & Events](<a href=“Bioengineering | Biology and Biological Engineering”>Bioengineering | Biology and Biological Engineering)</p>
<p>none of the research departments are covered through the BioE:Bioinformatics curriculum at ucsd</p>
<p>[Bioengineering</a> Department | UC San Diego](<a href=“http://www.be.ucsd.edu/undergraduate_major_bioinformatics_curriculum]Bioengineering”>http://www.be.ucsd.edu/undergraduate_major_bioinformatics_curriculum)</p>
<p>I really wanted to do the BioInf one 2, but i looked at the graduate departments and none of them really have research in this curriculum. UCSD offers a PhD in BioInf (which is interdepartmental). but i would think 1000000000000000x times before committing your self to an unaccredited program with hopes of a PhD from only this school</p>
<p>take this with a grain of salt of course; and hit me up if you got any more Q’s. ;)</p>
