I really appreciate your feedback, I just bought a few books, and I just started to study while preparing my thesis and defense. Thanks a lot! I'll be sure to keep you updated on my status.

Thanks for the feedback. I've just started studying for the general GRE again. I think if I get a good GRE score,coupled with my research experience, I should have a very solid application this time around.

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I inquired about this, as did one of my teachers inquire with one of his associates. They told us that the weakest point on my application was low GRE scores, and that year a large number of students accepted their offers, so that also coupled with low funding lead to me being rejected.

So are you saying that taking the GRE again is not neccessary? My orginial scores were quite poor.

Hi All, Pleasure to join such a great community! I graduated with a bachelors in Chemistry and Biochemistry in 2006 with a GPA of 3.8 and had one paper accepted (2nd author). I applied to several biology schools but was rejecting because of a low GRE. Now I am applied in a master's program in synthetic organic chemistry. I am planning on graduating a masters from this program with 3 papers (two 2nd author and one 1st author). I am planning on applying to several developmental biology programs for the fall '10 semester. I am also preparring to study for the GRE again. These are the schools that I am currently intersted in: 1.) Sloan Kettering Program in Cancer biology http://www.sloankettering.edu/gerstner/html/50725.cfm 2.) Columbia program in Developmental biology http://www.cumc.columbia.edu/dept/gsas/ ... frame.html 3.) NYU program in Developmental Genetics http://saturn.med.nyu.edu/research/dg/ 4.) Princeton Developmental Biology http://www.molbio.princeton.edu/index.p ... &Itemid=73 Does anyone know what kind of GRE sccore would have to get to be competitive for these programs? Does anyone have any suggestions about other programs in developmental biology in NYC, NJ area? Thanks! Shadowxx
