Hey,
I took the gre biochem, got an 89% overall, but above 90% (92-95, don't really remember) in both of the fields I'm specializing in (cell and molecular) - and something like 75% in the biochem - I took it because Scripps required it and I've gotten interviews everywhere I applied, so read into that what you will
I'll see you guys who are at Harvard MCB weekend 2 : )
I got the invite for weekend 1 but already had scheduled Princeton MolBio then ... Think it makes any difference in which weekend you attend?
For those who are interested:
We are holding interviews February 1-4 and February 15-18th. Invitations will be sent out sometime mid-January.
I hope this information helps

@aqua - I applied to CMDB at Johns Hopkins, but am still trying to sort out the difference between them all. They really don't make it easy on you with all the different programs between the university and the medical school... Still not sure of when I'm going to interview there...
@kgumps - I just poured one.... It's going to be a long night.....
