I am currently a junior so I will be applying for grad school this fall and I am interested in joining a grad program in biochemistry (MS or PhD). I am simply unsure of how I stack up against other students (i.e. which schools I can get into, etc). I obviously won't be applying to MIT or Harvard, but I'd just like some feedback about the types of schools I should be applying to. Also, roughly how many schools should I apply to? I have the following credentials:
Cumulative undergrad GPA - 3.4
1.5 years (so far) of research in Biochem/photobiology
3 months as a physical chem research assistant
GRE - 147V,154Q (still waiting for AW)
Presented research at the 245th ACS National Meeting
A few volunteer experiences
Any help is greatly appreciated.
