You know right now I just want a Masters in Biotechnology, I need to get some research experience (i.e. no research experience at this time), and at the university where I am studying at there is not so much places available.
of course after my masters I will consider to apply for a PhD or MD/PhD program, but again I need to have a solid back ground.
the reason why I am so confused is that this is my 2nd year of studies in the US, before that I studied in a Russian Medical School (won the green card lottery and transferred to a biology major program in 2012)
so a masters and/or a job is the best way to get both work experience and lab/research experience.
concerning the GRE - I will probably take it somewhere in august - september, I should start to study now ^_^'
references are not a problem =)
