I'm preparing to apply for grad school next year. My undergrad GPA seems too low to get into any good PhD programs... I'm hesitating if I should do a master program first to get better GPA and then apply for PhD programs.
uGPA: 3.1 BS Molecular biology from a large public university
GRE(V/Q/W): 160/170/4.5
Research experience: 2 years as undergrad researcher & 2 years as full time technician at a well known institute.
Co-authored 3 papers(second and third author). Impact Factor ~25 / +10 / +15.
Interested field: immunology, biochem, molecular bio, cancer bio
