[new] letters of rec matter lots (5.00 / 1) (#3)
by kroth on Mon Jul 31, 2006 at 07:23:46 AM PDT

I'm not sure exactly how much undergraduate grades count, especially if they were awhile ago and you've completed a masters since then. However I do know for sure if your letters of rec are good that is really important. If you can have someone from your MA write about what you are like as a student now that will help. Math bio is a really hot field right now for reference. I'm not sure how that affects admissions, but it certainly will make finding a job easier. Also knowing what field you want to work in and who you wnat to work with should help your application as well. It is worth applying. Let us know how it all turns out. Kim
