Many students pursue the field of Biological Sciences in Pakistan and most these students graduate from the top university of Pakistan, Quaid-i-Azam University. Fulbright Scholarship is the most popular scholarship through which students in Bio Sciences apply to top schools in the U.S. As a result there are many students who ask me what universities they should apply to in the U.S.
Please note that in order to get admission to one of these top programs requires a balanced combination of good GRE scores, personal statements, Letters of references and a decent undergraduate GPA. Do make sure that you try to apply in these programs using the best possible portfolio that you can. Competition at the graduate school level is high – thousands of students vie each year to get a spot in one of these programs!
