Hi.. I am an international student applying for either cell bio or pharmacology phd.

I studied at a large state school in the U.S. and was wondering where I could possibly apply to for cell bio or pharmacology phd.. would i stand a chance at purdue??

gpa - 3.323/4

gre - yet to be taken in nov. 

subject gre - taken, but score not yet.. (i don't think it's gonna be good either)

4 yrs of research experience - 3 poster presentations at symposium, 2 at competition/conferences, 2 poster-presentation awards, no publication though..

summer research internship at home country 

science related club president for one year 

currently work at a pharma company as a business development specialist (basically decide and evaluate what products to import and export)

Are you asking about Purdue (like their medicinal chem & molecular pharm program)? Also cell bio programs and pharmacology programs are different types of biomedical science programs. Although they can have overlaps - their aims tend to be quite different. Also as an international student who hasn't taken the GRE yet, you will be missing out on some of the programs that have earlier due dates (e.g. Nov. 1st). 

List your scientific interests and then apply to those programs or  apply to the large umbrella cell/mol bio programs at the different large universities where you would have the opportunity to get exposed to different research areas.
