I am applying for neuroscience program. A friend of mine said they are more competitive than bio cell, is that true?

Thank you for the tips!! I am interested in those schools because they have professors that work exactly with what I want. Harvard even has 3 different professors which fields are complimentary with what I want to do. It is really hard to know what those schools want right? Being an international student I don't think I would have famous professors to write recommendation letters, but they are very good in their field and known in my country. Anyone else has tips for me??? I thought about studying for a GRE subject test, for biology and chemistry perhaps... Any thoughts?

Hi there, I have recently published an outstanding paper as first author (Impact Factor >15). I also have 2 published papers and another one as a first author submitted (impact factor 6ish), those were all part of my master's degree effort. And I want to get into really competitive schools. I am passionate about science and want to use my knowledge to help people somehow, using biology to change people's lives, unfortunately my undergrad grades are not outstanding (7.9/10). I have this dream about getting into Harvard or Mount Sinai. What can I do to strengthen my application? PS. My GREs are 161V 159Q
