University of Utah, or any other Molecular Biology program information

[mybiologyblog]

Hello everyone!

Long time reader, first time contributor! So I am curious if anyone here has applied to, been accepted or rejected from the University of Utah's molecular biology program, or any similar programs. I am graduating in may with a Bachelors in Biology, and I am applying for several programs now, including:

The University of Utah's Molecular Biology program

Northwestern University

Ohio State University

Boston University

Tufts University

I am curious to see what people think of my statistics, as I am the first person in my family to go to graduate school, and I would like some honest advice from strangers!

My GPA in major is 3.714, with a cumulative of 3.614.

GRE scores: 162 VERBAL, 152 QUANT, (old scores combined about 1310) and I am retaking them for good measure in a few weeks.

I have 4 incredible professors writing me letters of recommendation, and I think my SOP is pretty well developed.

Thank you all so much for your input and advice. This is all so scary, and I am grateful for a community like this to help me out.
