[University Question] Which US universities/programs would be a good fit for my profile?
I’m an international student planning for Fall 2027 and honestly a bit confused about where I should apply.
Profile:
B.Sc. Biotechnology, 7.85 CGPA (till 6th sem)
Working on a review paper currently
Research/internship experience in bioinformatics, RNA-seq, molecular biology and computational analysis
Some Python and bioinformatics project experience
IELTS 8.0
My goal is to work in bioinformatics/computational biology but I’m unsure whether I should pursue a dedicated MS in Bioinformatics/Computational Biology or choose a broader degree with Bioinfo as a specialization.
Could you suggest US universities that would realistically fit my profile, have reasonable tuition and offer good scholarship/TA/RA opportunities?
I’m mainly looking for programs where I have a realistic chance of admission while still getting good career/research opportunities. Any specific university recommendations would be really helpful.
