Three years ago I cried because I didn’t get into a single program.

Three years ago I cried because I didn’t get into a single program.

Three years ago I found this group, I saw rejection after rejection, after rejection. I had an extremely low gpa, and I wasn’t sure how I could get in after seeing people in this group getting rejected with 3.2 cume GPAs. I followed the advice of someone and applied to an NIH postbacc, they were full and passed my app to an ACS funded program. I spent the last two years learning bench (wetlab) skills and taking upper level bio and chemistry classes to transition from behavioral to biomedical sciences. I am also a non traditional student. Today I received an offer of admission from Brandeis University (along with three other offers). Graduate school is attainable! Don’t give up!
