  1. Hi guys, I am in the middle of an application period (waiting for Grad school decisions). I want to know if a Biology graduate can work in the public health field? If you know any suggestions please let me know. thank you.
  2. Hi all, I know most of you cant stand this kind of question but I really need an advice. I took my gre and I got a score of 284 (145V and 139Q) I know its very low. My gpa is 3.32 (my parents divorced a few weeks before finals, so I had a very bad time), my professors also told me that I have a very good personal statement, I have very good LoR and a lot of experience. I am applying to the college where I am studying right now. Most of the professors know me. I am really worried not to get accepted. Is it still possible? Have you heard any stories that students were accepted with a low gre score?? Any advice will be appreciated. I really need an advice. Thanks.
  3. Hi everyone, I am applying for grad school ms in healthcare management in a few weeks for fall 2015. Is there anyone willing to review my sop and comment it? I will send it to you as a private message. Thank you in advance.
  4. Hello Everyone. I am applying for master programs in Biology and last semester (spring of 2014) my GPA went down from 3.42 to 3.32. I got a C in Biostat, B- in Metaphysics and B- in Neurobiology. This happened because i had serious family related problems (my parents divorced a few weeks before my finals, so I almost failed my classes, but I was able to get an A- in Immuno and B in Physics). My question is do I need to explain that I got those grades because of the divorce of my parents? also, should I include in my statement of purpose that I was discriminated by some of my professors (because I am not of Russian ethnicity) at my previous university in Russia before transferring to a US college (like asking for a bribe and lowering my grade up to one point)? thanks in Advance
  5. @MackF You know right now I just want a Masters in Biotechnology, I need to get some research experience (i.e. no research experience at this time), and at the university where I am studying at there is not so much places available. of course after my masters I will consider to apply for a PhD or MD/PhD program, but again I need to have a solid back ground. the reason why I am so confused is that this is my 2nd year of studies in the US, before that I studied in a Russian Medical School (won the green card lottery and transferred to a biology major program in 2012) so a masters and/or a job is the best way to get both work experience and lab/research experience. concerning the GRE - I will probably take it somewhere in august - september, I should start to study now ^_^' references are not a problem =)
  6. Hello everyone, I will be graduating in december 2014. Right now I want to apply for a masters program in Biotechnology (GPA: 3.42, may be around 3.5 at time of graduation), IF I will not be able to get into a program my plan B is to find a job, what kind of job I can get with my major? I was thinking to work as a lab assistant/technologist to get some experience but I checked that almost everyone recommends a license/certification. Are there any jobs where I can get experience in a lab and do not require certification? I know my question may sound ridiculous, I just want to know all kinds of possibilities... thanks in advance
  7. what are the best books/materials to study for the GRE? I recently bought Kaplan GRE 2014 strategies.... maybe you could recommend me some other books which might be helpful? English is not my first language, so I am a little worried that I can have some problems with the vocab - what could you recommend? and what about the writing section? thanks in advance =)
  8. Hi guys, sorry if I posted this in the wrong place. I have an overall GPA of 3.42 and a major GPA of 3.02 ( I am a Biology Major) I will graduate this december, so my cumulative gpa may be 3.5 or a little higher, My only lowest grade is a B- (only 1). I want to apply to a biotechnology or physiology masters program , do I have some chances with this gpa??? I do not have any research experience.
