Hi all! I just stumbled upon this great forum and deciding to find out whether or not someone can help me with a question I have.
I'm a Bachelor of Science in Biology major in my sophomore year (I'll be a junior this fall), and I'm currently working in a stem cell laboratory (I'll have two or three solid years of experience by the time I graduate). My grades are decent (3.8 overall, 3.7 science) and I have yet to take the GRE.
My question is in regards to the impossible task of finding admission statistics at various universities! I am seeking admission to Ph.D. programs in the biological sciences at schools such as Cornell, University of Michigan, or University of Pennsylvania. However, I have no idea what sort of statistics these universities are looking for. I know in order to be considered, one must be in good academic standing, have undergraduate research experience, have good-looking GRE scores, and have the ability to write a great admissions essay. That's all fine and dandy, but my "good academic standing" may not be the same as your's or the next guy's. So basically, I'm seeking someone who may have an idea of what these higher-level biology Ph.D. programs are seeking to determine whether or not I'm being realistic in my preferred school list.
Thanks!
