I also just applied for a biomedical 40 hours/week paid internship over the summer at Salk Institute. My cousin heads the lab I applied for so I’m pretty sure I’m getting in. If not, I plan on doing something similar.

I’m really worried about my chances into getting into good schools. I focused on a lot of ECs this semester so my grades have been pretty bad (3 B’s and barely A’s).

Thanks guys!

You are competitive, but since Berkeley has an extremely competitive pool don’t be sure of anything. It’s a shot in the dark.
