Hi! I am entering my senior year at a top 10 institution. I am hoping to attend Stanford, MIT, UPenn, UChicago, and the University of Washington for my PhD in bioengineering only because these schools have specific faculty I am very interested in working under. As such, I am posting my stats here so I can get a sense of where I stand. I am very concerned because I have two B minuses on my transcript (in Multivariable Calculus and Statistical Mechanics), and I feel very demoralized.
majors: Biology and Physics
cumulative GPA: 3.8
research: 4 co-author publications, 1 co-first publication, oral presentation at national conference, several posters at other national/international conferences. I have three extremely supportive research mentors who would write exceptional letters, as well as a professor with whom I've taken classes and taught.
teaching/volunteering: biology TA and i teach a special topics undergraduate course. i'm also the president of a community service club and of two other science clubs.
Thank you!
