- Notes
- I figured these stats might help future applicants. Small liberal arts college. ACS certified. 3.91 major GPA. Honors College with thesis. Graduated a semester early for personal reasons explained in personal statement. 3 years of NIH funded org chem research including 1 summer fellowship and 2 winter breaks. Relevant work experience: 5 semesters working as a TA, tutor and recitation leader + 2 semesters of stockroom work and WA for org chem. No publication besides thesis. Multiple presentations: 3 oral at local conferences (won first prize for one of them) + 1 poster. minority and first generation. two undergraduate ACS awards (inorganic and pchem). 3 strong letters of rec (one from UF alumni). Personal statement centered around 3 research groups at UF that I might potentially be interested in. Chem club secretary and social media chair (if it matters lol). Got into higher ranked programs, but UF is definitely in my top 10, so I'm still debating. Good luck to all!
