I'm an international students who wants to apply for grad school- international students please help
​
I'm 16(12th grade) and next will starting my bsc biotech next year, it is not possible for me to go to undergrad school, so I'll be applying for my masters
The kind of programs I want :
either 1) Msc biotech plus MBA dual degree
- MBA
I want to get into the business side of biotechnology and combine science with business. I saw similar programs at Upenn and UC Irvine but I've seen many people say that masters are just money makers for these universities is it true ??
Does the college that'll be getting my bsc from matter? Like the brand name. If I get the bsc from a govt tier 1 uni, will my chances of getting in be higher than If I get the bsc from a teir 2/pvt uni?
Also, if I don't get a suitable dual degree program like I mentioned, I'll ho for an MBA, so will my chances of getting into a business school be lower because I've an undergrad STEM degree?
What do they look for in international students applying for grad school, what are the determining factors? Give me any tips that I can use to build my profile in the 4 years, I'm ready to grind.
How can I contact any alumni who has done the course that I want or get some guidance from anyone experienced?? Because from where I come from, people know NOTHING about this stuff, there is absolutely no way of me getting any guidance.
If there are any people who have similar goals to me, and wants to have a friend to go through the journey tgt, feel free to DM :)
