What are my chances?? HELP!!!!!!

[GradBound?]

Hi guys,

Glad I found this forum. I'd love to hear advices from you regarding my admissions plan, both + and - comments are greatly appreciated.

GPA: 3.7
GRE Subject 95%tile
GRE General: TBD (PP scores 1520 and 1540)
Research - 3 full years with 2 1st author papers and another one being submitted during summer.

I plan to apply to biomedical sciences (most likely cell biology) at the following schools:
Harvard, Stanford, Yale, MIT, Caltech, UCSF, Baylor, Penn, Columbia, Cornell and Hopkins.

What do you think? I personally don't want to settle for anything less, but if you think I should add some "safety" schools I'd love to hear them.

Apply for some schools in top 40, top 50 and even i as you can easily get good scholarship there, and also TAs and RAs.

Getting scholarships in good universities is tough as they get LOTS of great people like you!!

Moreover, If you want to apply for PhD, then safe schools are a MUST.
As competition for PhD's is very tough, and all applicants are GREAT!!
I know a guy who had around 3-4 nice papers in EE all published in International conference, applied for PhD in good universities only with nice GRE and GPA, and was rejected by ALL!! Poor guy!!
