Shreyashi.98 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hi Everyone, I am currently in IB year 1 and in about 2 months I will be having interviews with my careers counsellors about my university choices. I have decided on pursuing an BSc in Biochemistry however I am a bit confused when I am doing my research. The top universities which I am inclined towards are Imperial College of London, UCLA, United College of London. However, I had heard some people in my school talk highly about the biochemistry course at MIT. Do any of you know a bit more about it since I can't exactly find a lot of information on their website. They have an undergrad course in biology but because of the whole 1st year is undeclared major I am not sure if they actually offer the discipline of my interest. Also if you know any more universities that has a good program please do recommend. Many thanks for your help! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
behaaa Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 For biochem, I don't think MIT is the best option. I would have to say that in the UK, Kings, Imperial and UCL are the best Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shreyashi.98 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hmm thanks! Do you have any idea about US? I know UCLA is good but any other names? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmi Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Well what kind of university do you want to attend? A big one, or a small one? One in a rural area, or one in the middle of the city? One that has nice weather year round? Once you've done that, go look up some rankings for undergraduate biochemistry programs in the US. Then decide what interests you. I could list of 100 different decent universities that offer biochemistry degrees but that doesn't do you any good if they're all located in the midwestern United States and you don't want to study there.

Tom Hiddleston Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Don't always go for the 'big-name' schools. Research is key. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forester Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Johns Hopkins has a very good biochem major. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
