Applying to PhD Biological Sciences, masters, with 2 yr exp, low GRE

[akashpatel]

Hello,

 

I am really worried if I can get in to any schools with my GRE ( 303; V: 146, Q: 157). I already have a Masters degree with a research project, and also 2 years of research experience at an Ivy league school; 1 co-author publication in a good journal). My undergrad GPA is 3.7 and masters GPA is 3.6, and I have great recommendation letters from professor at top tier universities.

Would GRE scores really affect my applications?

 

Can any one please suggest me some universities in northeast, that might be appropriate for my profile?

And, any chances for Columbia, UPenn, Harvard......other high-ranked schools?

 

Thanks in advance.
