I have taken my GRE. My score is 480 in Verbal, 660 in Quant, 3.5 in analytical writing. I wish to pursue MS/Phd in pharmaceutics, pharmacology, biotechnology. I wish to know which universities i should apply. What other subjects i can apply for.

Also I would like to know about FPGEE. What is the syllabus for it and how I should prepare for it.

thanx for the help

hi,

If you are interested in health administration and public health, Duke University has a good PhD programme that combines pharmacy with public health. I am sure they have a lot of other pharmacy programs since it has a huge science centre. Check out their website. It is a good university too- Ivy League.
For the FPGEE, I used Comprehensive Pharmacy review by Shargel and some notes that I had on basic physiology and anatomy and Pharmaceutical calcullations( forgotten the author) I did pretty well scored 116. A lot of people also used Manaan Shroff. The FPGEE covers everything you did at the university from year one. It covers all the basics unlike professional exams which usually covers pharmacy practice i.e drug therapy, interactions etc.
Make sure you cover all pharmaceutcial calculations, practice calc questions without using calculators( you have to learn how to estimate, to move quickly thru calc questions) and if posiible take the PRE-FPGEE. It helped me identfy areas that I would have otherwise ignored. And for me it was pretty accurate as it predicted that I would score between the range 99-140. Actually I score 119 on the PRE-FPGEE.
Learn the testing strategies:
eliminating wrong answers
identifying blinder questions- where they throw in something extra to confuse you
Some questions are repeated all through the exams but asked in different ways.
hope this helps

Once you have applied to the FPGEC and have been approved to sit for the test, you can sit for it, even if you are on holiday.
