hi, In recent days, I have been knowing about the uniqueness of dictyostelium, a cellular slime mold. I plan for higher studies doing a research in dictyostelium. I would like to know the scope of this in the near future i.e. what kind of job will i get after my phD, how growing is the field of research in dictyostelium and what application does this study have, like, influence in medicine etc.,? Since it is obvious that everyone cares if one's phD work leads one to a good job, these information would be of great help to me.

dear friend, your suggestions are really helpful. Until now, I have been searching for the Universities that more or less match my profile and I have not thought about the places in the US. As I am from India, I am not aware of the city life and conditions that prevail there. I am now in the process of knowing about those stuff. As a part of that process, I would like to know from you if the universities (on my first message) and the places they belong are good enough for foreign students. I am glad that even after joining your PhD, you are actively present for help. Congrats and all the best for your PhD at the University of Vermont.

Will that affect my application as GRE score is for initial screening of applications? also please suggest me some other universities that you find to be apt for the above mentioned profile.
