I'm doing tissue engineering! So you think it might be okay?

Hey guys. I'm really nervous about my low Quant GRE score. Any guesses on how I might fare? Undergrad Institution: State University Major(s): Biochemistry B.S. Minor(s): N/A GPA in Major: 3.97 Overall GPA: 3.96 Length of Degree: 4 years Position in Class: Unknown Type of Student: Domestic, female, traditional GRE Scores: Q: 159 (74th) V: 167 (97th) W: 5.0 (93rd) Research Experience Research in tissue engineering (3.5 years), stem cell mechanobiology (summer), and nanomaterials+drug delivery (summer) 3.5 years of research experience with one summer REU at UCSD in BME and summer internship at the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine in Bangalore, India 1 publication accepted (2nd of 6 authors) and 2 more in preparation (3rd author of 7) Probably 1 first author pub before I graduate 5+ conference presentations Mentored a high school student and another undergrad Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Goldwater Honorable Mention (national scholarship) Numerous scholarships for research and academics in biology, chemical engineering, and math Undergraduate research poster competition winner Pertinent Activities or Jobs: organic chemistry tutor, Biomedical engineering society treasurer, Society of Scientists Publicity Director Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: I've studied abroad twice (once in India for a paid research internship and once in London to network with Cambridge faculty) Applying for PhD at: UCSD- Biomedical Engineering MIT- Biological Engineering Harvard- SEAS Biomedical Engineering Harvard MIT MEMP Program Johns Hopkins- Biomedical Engineering Washington University in St. Louis- Biomedical Engineering UT Austin- Biomedical Engineering Northwestern University- Biomedical Engineering

What do you guys think? Do I stand a chance? Undergrad Institution: University of Kansas Major(s): Biochemistry B.S.
