  2. Hello. I am currently a third year undergrad at the University of Arkansas Fayetteville and looking at PhD programs in the field of genomics. This search is proving quite stressful as I believe I’m right on the edge of having a chance at some top tier schools and would, therefore, very much appreciate some other opinions. My GPA sits at 3.91 right now. I believe it’s reasonable to assume I will have roughly a 3.8 by the time I graduate. I will graduate with honors, four years of research experience in a molecular plant pathology lab (I started just before my freshman year), at least three scientific publications (one of which being a first author paper), and two international internships. Additionally, I’ve received a research grant through my university and have presented my work at scientific conferences. The only major variable I see is my GRE score - I have no idea what I will make. The last real standardized test I took was the ACT in high school which I made a 29 on and I know that isn’t great. I’m mostly interested in Stanford but I’ve also thought seriously about trying for MIT and Harvard as well. Also, I was wanting to go directly into a PhD but I would be willing to do a Masters first if necessary. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
