[Biomedical Sciences at Pennsylvania State University]

Hey

I applied to the PhD degree in biomedical sciences at Pennsylvania State University.

I am on a waiting list

This is the only chance that I have since I got rejected from others.

If you know for sure you're not accepting, please let them know ASAP.

Thanks.

I am not going to retake the GRE too.

I will apply by this score and I will see

Good luck

Hi

I wanna do a PhD in microbiology or Virology

I am nervous, I took GRE and I did bad. I got 740 quant., 330 verbal

The verbal score stands out as very low and the quantitative score is not exactly great

My stats:

International applicant.

GPA: 3.2

GRE: 740-V 360-Q

Research experience: I year and published as 1st author.

Work experience: 2 years of experience as a teaching assistant at a university.

Self funded, I don't need to receive scholarship from a university. I received a scholarship which shall cover my enrollment for the PhD degree. Does it make difference? I know being a domestic student is advantageous when applying to a graduate program, but does being a self funded give you an advantage over others?

I am worried about my chance to get an acceptance

I applied to the following:

Mount Sinai School of Medicine

Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL)

University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB)

Vanderbilt University

Johns Hopkins University (JHU)

Penn State university (PSU)

University of Wisconsin Madison (UW Madison)

any feedback, criticism or advice, please

Thanks so much in advance!
