Uni Year (1st, 2nd, 3rd etc): Year 3

I've become really interested in computational biology over the last two years, and I would like to segue into it somehow after finishing undergrad. But whew, it's been a long time since I wrote a uni personal statement. I hope it can impress, even though I only meet one of the eligibility criteria.

i think everything will be looked at now that the deadline has closed i believe they do it in a big batch rather than choosing as they are submitted!

last year applicants heard back all day on 26th april (from like 9am to 5pm) so i’m thinking we should hear around the week beginning the 22nd april onwards! Also, a lot of people ended up getting admitted later on when people didn’t accept offers etc so there’s still hope even after this day all the way up until may/june ish!
