As a high school senior with a strong interest in BioTechnology, what is the best major to take instead in college if Biotechnology is not offered? What is a typical day working in the BioTech field?
Throughout high school, I have developed a strong interest in science, primarily chemistry and biology, and I enjoy hands-on experience through labs and observations.
How can I structure my next steps in a way that builds a strong, scholarship-worthy profile?
I’m a Biochemistry graduate with a strong interest in applying for Master's programs abroad. I have basic hands-on experience with fundamental biochemical techniques such as PCR, DNA extraction, and gel electrophoresis. However, I’m looking to strengthen my academic and professional profile to increase my chances of securing scholarships. I’ve completed several online courses through platforms like Coursera, but since I opted for the free versions, I don’t have certificates to show for them. I would appreciate guidance on: What specific skills (lab-based or computational) I should focus on improving? Are there any online internships or volunteer projects I can apply to that are relevant to biochemistry or bioinformatics? Where can I find internships in Islamabad, especially ones considered relevant to my field? How can I structure my next steps in a way that builds a strong, scholarship-worthy profile? I’ve previously completed an internship in the biology department of a university in Islamabad, and I’m eager to take on further experiences that can help me grow in the research and academic space. I’d be truly grateful for any advice, resources, or structured pathway you can suggest.

How can I obtain a scholarship?
How can I obtain a scholarship to pursue a Master's degree in sciences, specifically in biotechnology or any other biology-related field? I'm not asking about the application process or requirements, but rather how I can be competitive. Which programs would be recommended for me, considering that my GPA is between 3.0 and 3.5? My current English level is B1, but I can reach C1 in a short time. Additionally, I would like to know if there are Master's scholarships that accept the Duolingo English Test, though I doubt it. I also have about 15 certificates from Coursera in various fields, with a focus on biology, and I have a passion for learning. Apologies for the lengthy message, and thank you.
