Biology - Georgia State University

Hi, there! I’m a graduate student at Georgia State University, pursuing my Master of Science degree in Biology within the thesis-based program. I’ve also attended Augusta University, and I got accepted to two other graduate programs before accepting GSU’s offer, so I am very used to the application process for universities. I hope to speak with you soon! :)
