Reading well-written arguments will help out for the passage analysis problems. For the words Baron's word list (if you can attain a copy somehow) wass really useful for me, even with hours to go.

I'm applying to 4 state schools this year for an MS in biosci. One of the requirements for application at all schools is to establish contact with a PoI. So what's the best way of going about this without making a horrifically bad impression (which I am an expert in doing)? I'm currently considering the following: Mention interest in lab, talk about papers maybe a question or pondering, then the end. Not sure where to tie myself into that, if I even should. I have very little research experience, only 5-6mo. Any advice welcome.
