National University of Singapore Graduate School Admission Results

3.5 GPA increased by LAS classes, two short study abroad, lots of research but no publications. Reached out to several faculty at NIH and Oxford and discussed this in essays as well as potential projects.

With corona curfews I don't see programs being conducted this year. So taking a hyperspace drive.

This program was my top choice. Unfortunately the interview weekend was very disappointing. Typically, most programs admit the majority of the people that they interview. At this GPP, they admitted 4/19 interviewees - most of which had advanced degrees, are currently working at the NIH, or both. I felt like I was being shown a school that I wouldn't have the chance to attend (I was right). Go for the trip to Bethesda and a chance to talk to PIs in your field, but be very careful about getting your hopes up if you receive an interview. Chances are that you're bound to be disappointed.

!!!!!!!!!!
