I got my Bachelors in Chemistry here in US and I have always wanted to study abroad but didn't get a chance to do so earlier. My friend suggested I could get a Masters in Chemistry in Germany. I looked up some programs and found a lot of them are taught in English and the tuition is covered so it sounds like a valid option to me. My concern is what happens after that? Do you think a MS from Germany will be recognized by US public school systems if I want to teach in high school here? Or should I stay here and finish the Masters? Please share your thoughts, if you have any resources, etc. Thank you!

yeah, i can do research on the professors (that's what i am doing with the other schools i listed on here). but what other schools should i look at? i don't even know which schools to look up right now

i want to stay on the east coast because of family concerns...can't be more than 3-4 hours away from MD. my gre scores are average (155V, 159Q, 4.5W) and i am planning to take the chem gre in september, but not doing too well on the practice tests right now. i am interested in organic chem. currently working in a lab and i am learning about drug delivery. are they any school that focus on drug delivery or synthesis or medical stuff chemistry? organic synthesis would be nice because i might do patent law after grad school. i apologize if this sounds vague, but i really don't have specific interests as of now. i just like organic chem and think i would do well in that area. i am thinking of georgetown, jhu, harvard, yale, penn state, princeton, and upenn, but almost all of these schools are so hard to get into, esp when i don't have any publications yet and probably won't by the time i graduate next year. any "safe" schools?

in math I am in 74th percentile and in writing I am 73 percentile. In verbal, I am on 53 percentile. I don't know if this is troubling...should I take the gre again? i had done so much practice for a month before the exam and i don't know what else to do. i dont have time to take a class for the gre because now i am planning to study for the chem subject gre. I want to study organic chem and am planning to apply to wisconsin, michigan, emory, illinois, berkely, princeton, and harvard (and am aware the last two might be really tough) in fall 2013. my cumlative gpa is 3.8 and chem gpa is 3.9-4.0 and i have had 2 years of research experience and i think i will also be able to have at least 1 publication (although not first author) by the time i graduate. besides the gre, any other advice would be really helpful. thank you!
