Thanks for starting this thread! As I am sorting together all of the schools I am applying to- I am going through each one and selecting the specific program. I am interested in specifically pursuing cancer research, and am mostly applying to schools that have substantial cancer research going on at them. I am applying to a good amount, however, that don't have "cancer biology" programs per say. As I am deciding between different program titles, such as "biological sciences," "biomedical sciences," and any variation of cell, molecular biology or biochemistry, I am making my decisions based upon the faculty associated with the program. For example, while UCSD's biomedical science program sounds like a better fit for me, I like the faculty better in the "biological sciences" program and have thus decided to apply to that one. Is this what people would recommend?

Hey guys! New to this website and getting excited to apply this fall to a graduate program in biochemistry! I have already taken the general GRE and was signed up to take the Biochemistry GRE in October! However, I recently recieved an email from ETS stating that it was cancelled for the whole testing year! I am assuming many other biochem majors are now in the same boat as me, not being able to take the subject test for this admissions cycle! Does anyone think this will hurt my applications to the more competitive programs?
