I'm sure you've all heard this before, but I have a low undergraduate GPA (2.82) from a recognized University, and I'm afraid I wont get into a PhD program, so I'm applying to Masters programs that I *still* might not get into. I have 5 years of lab experience (4 years of academic, and 1 year of industry) and I'm also co-author on a publication from my undergraduate career. Long story short, I'm not the best at taking tests under pressure, but I absolutely love research, and know what type of research I want to do. I was thinking of possibly contacting professors in person, but I wasn't sure if that would help. I'm applying to masters programs for Fall 2014, but I wont have time to take the GRE subject tests for biochemistry for the PhD programs. Should I still apply to both programs (without subject test scores), or would it look bad to be rejected from a program and apply more than once (in later cycles, with subject test scores)? Any help would be much appreciated!
