Notes
Over 4 years of research experience (2 years part-time in undergrad, 1 summer internship at top biomedical research institute, 2 years full-time post grad). 2 publications (1 accepted in high IF journal, 1 in revision in ok journal). 9 poster presentations at several local, regional and national conferences. 3 strong letters of recommendation. Accepted to DOW-MIT Access program as an undergrad. I don't think they were able to look past my undergrad GPA and GRE scores (as if they even matter in graduate school lmao). Congrats to all of you who did get accepted!
