Hi Everyone,
I’m aware it’s extremely competitive to get into MD/PhD programs so I’m worried that I have no chance considering my grades aren’t too hot. Figured I should reach out for all the advice I can get.
UG: B.S in Molecular Biology and Chemistry with a 3.4 GPA
Currently getting my Master’s in Biotechnology: GPA 3.6
Volunteered abroad in a pediatric hospital as well as a Labor/Delivery unit in college
Worked in my undergrad research group for 3 years (Basic research): 1 Nature paper with 1 under review, multiple presentations and received Best thesis
Joined another lab in my masters for about 2 years (Translational with a heavy focus in Bioinformatics): 1 paper and a presentation at a national conference
Lead engineer in a start up
Currently doing a drug discovery internship at a pharmaceutical company (Reverse Translational)
Getting my EMT certification now for more patient hours/exposure
Planning on taking the MCAT soon
Thanks in advance for any help
