[Will a GRE combined score of under 1000 eliminate me from grad school?]

Some schools, like Columbia, are open about having a cutoff. The average GRE score is 1199 so most cutoffs seem to be in the 1200-1250 range. However, not all schools have a cutoff. Also, if you can contact professors and generate interest in you as a candidate, you may be able to convince them to at least consider your application despite your GREs. However, I would recommend retaking them since it's a logical way to try to improve this weakness in your app.

Thanx people!

[Will a GRE combined score of under 1000 eliminate me from grad school?]

I am just as stressed out about my GRE scores as the next person, but my scores were awful. I had awful scores for my SAT's, and i still managed to get into a few colleges. My question is two fold: will a GRE score of under 1000 hold me back from being accepted to any grad programs (im applying to general psychology, behavioral neuroscience, and biopsychology programs)? Also, do application reviewers even look at the GRE's? I've heard different things from different people. One faculty that i worked for at my undergraduate university told me that they don't even care. He said that they know if they want you, and they don't pay attention to those things. What do you all think?

[Behavioral neuroscience jobs in the pharmacheutical world?]

What exactly does a behavioral neuroscientist do for a pharmacheutical company? I am applying to behavioral neuroscience and biopsychology programs, and after graduation i am looking to work for a pharmacheutical company doing research and design for treatments for neurological orders.
