I am from Costa Rica. I have a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and this year I will finish my B.S. in Electrical Engineering. Also I am working towards my "Licenciatura" in Mechanical Engineering, I have only left my graduation project and will most likely get Honor Graduation. My average is 9.06/10 and I graduated as the first of my class (mech eng.). My GRE score is 800Q 510V and 4.0 AWA. I must retake the TOEFL test, since the last time I took it was more than two years ago, but I'll do fine with it, hopefully.

I plan to apply for a PhD on Biomedical Engineering at the University of Florida. I'm only concerned about some courses I haven´t taken such as Organic Chemistry and Biology. What do you think are my chances at this school. What other schools would you recommend me to apply.

I appreciate any help that you guys can lend me. Thanks.

Yeah, that's not what I asked. If you don't have anything useful to say, then don't say anything, please.

Well, what are the prerequisites at the the program you want to apply to? Or what courses have well-prepared applicants taken? Usually, websites for graduate programs list these courses. Have you taken them or similar courses at your school in Costa Rica?
