  1. Hello, I received an interview invite from Penn State Biomedical on 12/28/2015. Their interview date is January 21-23. Hope this helped!
  2. Undergrad Institution: Public, large state schoolMajor(s): Biological ScienceMinor(s): Animal and Poultry ScienceGPA in Major: 3.51Overall GPA: 3.63Position in Class: Top 20%Type of Student: Domestic femaleGRE Scores (revised/old version): Attemp 1: Q: 155 (60%)V:152 (54%)W: 4.5 (80%) Attempt 2: Q: 152V: 155W: TBA B: Not takingResearch Experience: (At your school or elsewhere? What field? How much time? Any publications (Mth author out of N?) or conference talks etc...) 2 years as a research assistant at an immunology lab, can do a wide range of lab techniques and worked almost full time while balancing extracurricular activities and rigorous coursework. Wrote and submitted IACUC protocols for the lab on autoimmune diseases. Was in charge of a small microbiome project, co-manager of the mouse colony and responsible for creating new KO mice strains 1 year involved in clinical studies working with a variety of veterinariansAwards/Honors/Recognitions: (Within your school or outside?) Deans list every semester Magna Cum Laude Graduated with Honors Post-Baccalaureate Intramural Research Training Award from the National Institutes of HealthPertinent Activities or Jobs: (Such as tutor, TA, SPS officer etc...) Currently working as a Post-Baccalaureate IRTA at the NIH (NIAID) with my own projectSpecial Bonus Points: (Such as connections, grad classes, famous recommenders, female or minority status etc...) I should have solid LORs and I can write a good SOPApplying to Where: All biomedical - immunology unless stated otherwise Georgetown - NIH GPP Program WashU Johns Hopkins - NIH GPP Program University of Maryland UVA Virginia Tech - Genetics, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology: Life Sciences track Penn State (maybe) Upenn (super reach school) NYU (maybe) The main thing I'm concerned about is my GRE score. I was never a good standardized test taker, and I already took the exam twice - I thought my quant score would go up because I was scoring higher on the practice exams the second time around but I guess I messed up during the actual exam.. Should I mention anything about this on my SOP or are the scores sufficient enough that I could skate by? I don't have time to take it again and this is a huge thorn on my side. I'll probably apply to all the schools listed because I'm worried that my GRE score will hurt my chances of getting in..
