Well, I believe this is the first post i should have ever written... I really really really really really really really really reallyreally really really (long but necessary) need your help here, because you may have experience or may know people who have entered these universities with profiles similar to mine.
The thing is that I´d like to know If I could stand a chance of being selected for the following postgraduate courses considering the CV I have (written below), as I will probably have to choose just some of those programmes because paying more than 4 or 5 application fees is completely impossible to me:
These are the MSc programmes I´d like to apply to:
- MSc in Integrated Immunology (University of Oxford)
- MSc in Immunology (Imperial College London)
- MSc in Infection and Immunity (University College London)
- MSc in Biology - with specialization in Immunology - (ETH Zurich, Switzerland)
- MSc in Molecular Biosciences - (University of Heidelberg, Germany)
- MSc in Molecular Biology - (University of Gottingen, Germany)
- MSc in Biomedicine - (Karolinska Institute, Sweden)
- MSc in Life Sciences and Technology - (EPFL Lausanne, Switzerland)
- MSc in Immunotechnology & Biotherapies - (UPMC, France)
This is my profile:
Next year, I will be finishing my 4-year BSc degree in Biological Sciences at a small but nationally prestigious University in biomedical research from Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the moment, my total grades are 93 / 100 % (I believe it would be considered a 1st in the UK) and I would like to finish with 90 / 100 % at least.
In addition, by the time I apply I will have done 1 year or 1 year and a half of research in Cancer, Inflammation and Immunology in the best known University of my country (University of Buenos Aires) in order to complete my undergraduate thesis.
I have also done 4 short-courses related to Immunology (intended for Postgraduate applicants, but I could manage to apply anyway).
Apart from that, I have a relatively strong command of English, considering it is not my mother tongue (I have passed CPE exam from University of Cambridge ESOL and also CAE and FCE).
---------------------------
I know it is quite a long post, but this time I need your help as I´ve never had before. I know many of you could give me a hand with this selection and this will be quite crucial for my decision. Do you think I stand a chance of entering those places with the CV I have? Should I go for more and try directly with a PhD application or would it be too much?
Any, any help you give me will be very much appreciated as I really need it this time and I really don´t know what to do at the moment.
