Thank for the input you guys. I really appreciate it.
Hopefully I will make it into a PhD program, but in the event that I don't, it seems to me that the two options I'll be willing to consider are a) a fully funded masters, or doing as Watson said, and adding to my research experience.
Along those lines, I have two more questions...
Are my numbers good enough to gain admission to a fully funded masters, such as William and Mary, Villanova, etc? I see on WandM website that their average applicant has a 3.69GPA(I am .24 lower), a 594 verbal(I am 116 higher), and a 679 quant(61 higher). Is it reasonable to expect that the difference in my GPA will be made up for by my GRE scores?
Also, directed at Watson, do you have any insight into how I might go about landing a paid research gig? Or a job with the NIH.
Thanks again everyone. You are extremely helpful.
