Anjali, a former chemical engineering student at NITK Surathkal elucidates on her journey from not liking Biology to now pursuing a PhD in Systems Biology. An example of determination, she proves how ‘CGPA’ isn’t the master key to get into your dream schools, it’s about striving to create your own learning experience. During her engineering days, Anjali had interned at NTU Singapore in the summer and continued to gain research experience wherever possible - and that was one of the pivotal factors that got her into Harvard University.
