Coursework

Post by dsw1692 »

Hello all! I'm a current Molecular Bioscience & Biotechnology major at the Rochester Institute of Technology. I was wondering if anyone knew if my related SF's take into account the fact that I will have more coursework under my belt by the time my first internship starts? So from my understanding our internships do not start until the summer AFTER we're accepted into the program, and, although at this point my only advanced lab work includes organic chemistry, tissue culture, molecular biology, and a long-term undergraduate research project,and those are what I mentioned on my resume/application, by next summer I will also have genomics, bioinformatics, genetic engineering, advanced immunology/hybridoma techniques, microbiology, and additional research under my belt as other forms of lab experience.

Your SF generally doesn't give a damn what courses you've completed. The chances of you doing any actual work in your field are slim to none to begin with, so the fact that you have only taken this and that don't matter. In the event you actually get to do something pertinent most do understand you're new. Either you'll just have to learn what you need to, to accomplish the tasking, or they will teach you (bank on the former btw).
