Hello everyone, I'm new here, watching every topic and find out they are really helpful.
I'm an international student, and about to get my master in Biochemistry this year. I'm applying for many programs, but my weakness is NO publications, but I have five years research experience( Yes, still no pub). I have a uGPA 3.49, which is not high in US but quit good in my undergraduate. A fair GRE, but no subtest. I get some rej from university like MSU and Wisconsin Madison. I know for graduate program you shouldn't have a "save" university, but I still think mine is IIT. I'm very confused now because NO ONE ACCEPT ME ;(. Is my background low for a PhD program? I'm applying for Biochemistry program, is that very hard for me to get in? Maybe I can apply for biotech program, since that's my undergraduate major, but I don't know if I still get a chance.
