  1. Thanks for your response, modularblues. The Bio Subject Test isnt till Nov. 7, and NSF will even pay the test fee if I sign up for it solely for the purpose of the GRFP app (there are some rules regarding reporting your scores). I dont think I will have time to study for it as much as I would need to to get a decent score by then with my current school and work schedule. Most MS programs I looked at before getting the green light at my current univ. dont require a subject test, so I didnt even think about taking it till I saw the GRFP supplemental materials section. I also plan to be in my MS program 2 years max, and I doubt I can carry over funds if I start a PhD program researching something else. Sounds like I have 2 strikes against me for such a competitive program. While the funding would be nice, I think I will look into other fellowships & scholarships more suited for M.S. degree programs. Thanks and good luck all!
  2. Hi everyone, I'm also new to the forum and am wondering what weight is given to the subject GRE. I havent taken a bio class in a couple years and am pretty sure my score will be pretty low if I take the bio subject test. My GRE scores are not that great (1400), but my GPA is 4.0. Also, I am NOT planning to go into a PhD program, I have already been informally accepted as an M.S. student at my current university due to an advisor who wants me to continue research in his ecology lab. What are the chances of getting considered as an M.S. applicant (and in life sciences)? Also I did an NSF REU last summer, so I'm hoping that counts for something because I worked my ass off all summer at a federal agency and am trying to get my research published. Thanks, good luck everyone with their application.
