<p>if i want to apply for graduate for a master degree in biology/neuronscience/biochemistry? do i need to take GMAT or GRE?</p>
<p>You might need to take the MCAT, but I don't know. It would be either the MCAT or maybe the GRE but the GMAT is for business degrees.</p>
<p>You would need to take the GRE.</p>
<p>The MCAT is only for medical school admissions.</p>
<p>Although may I ask why you'd be applying for a masters? Most biology applicants apply directly for a PhD.</p>
<p>true, but i feel i am not smart enough...</p>
<p>so a professor himself or herself will look at my GRE score and other stuffs to determine whether to take me me as a PhD student or not?</p>
<p>or, instead of individual professor choosing students, will there be a review committee to choose PhD students?</p>
<p>Usually there's a committee of professors who look over an applicant's file. The GRE isn't as important as other aspects of an applicant's file, though -- research experience, recommendations, and undergraduate GPA are more important.</p>
<p>usually people go for master's if they don't want to be in school for longer than 2 years -- perhaps they have started a family, or have a lot of debt hanging over their shoulders, or for whatever reason they want to work ... but usually it is just that they don't feel like they can take more school -- but feeling stupid is not a good excuse because your IQ does not have to do everything with how well you'll do in a PhD program ... and besides how do you know if you judged your own abilities right</p>
<p>Well, I understand why people want to do a masters, but in biology it's not a very useful degree -- you can't get any more jobs with a masters degree than you can with a bachelors. Besides, there aren't that many masters programs at good schools for biology, just PhD programs.</p>
