I am an undergraduate senior who wants to get into biochemistry Phd programs at top schools. My gpa is ok (3.75/4), I have done lots of research in my area and I am sure that I could get excellent recommendation letters. However, I recently took the GRE and my scores ( 500V, 700 Q, 5AWA )were not so hot. Do you think that I should retake the general GRE especially since I am also going to take the subject test ? I am also an international student who is studying in the US , does that make a difference ? Help !!

Hey wildberry,

Firstly Congradt's on your gpa that is a marvellous score and achievment.. Your GRE scores are not so hot and not so cold either. It might pay off to retake the genral GRE as you mentioned in your post. And I don't think that it makes a differece that you are an international student.

I hope that helps you abit if you kneed any other advice/info let us know we would be happy to help you out.

Good Luck,& Best Wishes

Tim

Great GRE scores. Do not retake the exam. Focus on your Subejct exam to increase your potential. It is great that you have a good GPA, letters of Rec and research exp. is a plus.
