i have undergad degree in chemistry from university of delhi nad masters in biotechnology from jawaharlal nehru university, new delhi. thereafter I worked for a year as a junior research fellow at the all india institute of medical sciences, new delhi. obtained one fellowship (national)

no publications tilldate but will be having one soon. reco from all three institutions. GRE scores 560v 780 q 5.5a TOEFL 290 and subject test biochem 78 percentile.

i think my GRE scores were not exactly great. specially my subject test scores. but what saw me thru I believe were my research experience and reco letters.

poeple in the usa have laid a lot of emphasis on translational research thats combination of basic research skills with medicine/health oriented applied research. so I guess being a MD will give u a huge advantage. but make sure u apply to schools like mayo clinic and baylor college of medicine and in general graduate programs in medical schools.

hope this helps.
