[2013 Applicant Profiles and Admission Results]

I have a question that some of you may be able to help with.

I was originally going to apply to memorial sloan-kettering also for the biomedical sciences PhD. I didn't in the end because i'm also applying to quite a lot of places in the UK in addition to the current 3 i've applied to in the US and didn't want to spread myself too thin (/spend too much money on applications). I recently keep getting emails from the associate dean stating that they've extended the application deadline until next week for me to submit my application. Is this a good sign?

I'm actually really interested in the cancer focus of the institution (I did previous research at big cancer research institution in London) and some of the faculty's research interests me (the structural biology focus) and so if this email is an indication that they are potentially interested in me as an applicant I would go ahead and submit it. However, the pessimist in me thinks that this is probably just a generic email they use to get more money from those who have made an application but not submitted it.

Thoughts?

It's just an automated email. I got the same email telling me the deadline is extended and asking me to submit my app. even though I already completed mine a week ago.

[Fall 2013 Chemistry and Biochemistry]

Do you guys think if a 81% biochem gre will hurt an international student's application? The cutoff may be higher for foreign students. I'm so confused, dont know if I should send the score,

[Do I need to take the GRE Subject Test?]
