How to Get Into Top STEM Master’s Programs

As someone who was recently admitted to Harvard’s SM in Computational Biology and Quantitative Genetics, I know firsthand what it takes to stand out in Ivy-level graduate admissions. I also received offers from other top-tier programs including Columbia (MS in Public Health Data Science), Yale (MS in Computational Biology and Biomedical Informatics), Cornell (MS in Computational Biology), Dartmouth (MS in Health Data Science), and Brown (MS in Biostatistics). I graduated from Boston University with a BS in Data Science and a minor in Statistics, earned multiple academic and research awards, and worked on high-impact projects in industry internships and in academic labs focused on machine learning, public health, and computational biology. I specialize in helping students from non-Ivy backgrounds break into elite graduate programs through compelling personal statements, strong academic narratives, and a sharp application strategy tailored to data-driven and biomedical fields.
