Can I go into biomedical summer research?

<p>I haven't taken college-level biology yet. I plan to do so next year (junior year).
WHAT ARE MY CHANCES OF GETTING INTO AN SMDEP/PREMED OR BIOMEDICAL/BIOCHEMISTRY REU PROGRAM??</p>

<p>Do you have any specialized lab skills, particularly in bio or biochem? </p>

<p>Have you taken gen chem? OChem? Biochem? How are your math skills? </p>

<p>What’s your GPA? Who will be writing your LORs?</p>

<p>I’d say it all depends of how you can answer the above and whether you can effectively explain why you have no biology coursework and want to go into a biology oriented program.</p>

<p>I think this questkon would have to be answered based on the requirements if each program.</p>

<p>Why not if you get in? You really do not need our permission. You do not need any skills either. You will learn on a job.</p>

<p>ochem - 4.0
gen chem - 4.0
multivariable calculus - 2.7
physics - 3.3</p>

<p>i haven’t taken bio yet because i wanted to take the one offered at a sister school instead of the one at home because it has a more molecular approach. however i’ve had to hold it off to complete chem major requirements.
i kind of bounced around freshman year, only took one semester of lab, tried humanities and social science classes.</p>
