I'm taking a year off between undergrad and grad, working as a tech in a lab. I applied on a whim, at the encouraging of my undergrad advisor, wrote essays quickly, and sent it in. I even forgot about the application until this mornings email. I made my "official" grad school decision the day before, so this was a nice addition to my $ package. The program advisor was also quite excited. I went to a small, liberal arts college and the reviewers seemed to really be drawn to that. I'll put my stats here - feel free to ask and questions: Program - Life Sciences (Botany, including Plant Phys), Reviews: E/VG, E/VG, VG/VG. The reviewers did comment on my lack of publications (2 in prep), but were drawn to my strong letters of rec and such. The best comment "her minor in creative writing really came through, as this was the most entertaining personal statement I've ever read." GPA: 3.75 (undergrad: Biochem major). GRE: 800Q, 580V, 6.0W.
