Thanks. When you say 4 years of research experience, does that usually mean 4 full time years of strictly working in a lab or 4 years at school with lab and research classes? I ask because I want to compare it to 6 months full time (no bottle washing) in a university lab.

Thank you for the feedback. In regard to research, do you have a guess how much lab experience a typical applicant might have? process chemist: I accidentally clicked the -1 next to your comment when I intended to do the +1!!! - how stupid and clumsy of me, I sincerely apologize and do appreciate your positive input.

Hello, I'm applying to several top tier programs, my interests are Biochemistry and Biomolecular Chemistry with a focus on enzymes. Is it obvious that the importance of these factors will vary from individual to individual depending on their scores and other factors? Does this order of ranking seem typical? 1.LORs 2,Research and publication history 3 GRE scores 4. GPA 5. Rank of undergrad school (ie R1) Thanks for any input.
