PhD Biology..Chances??

<p>I am an italian student and I earned both my bachelor and master degree in Biology with an average GPA of 3.9 and 3.8 respectively. </p>

<p>I have a publication under review for the journal molecular cell and I have reference letters from 2 university professor and a renowed group leade in the field of oncology (he does excellent publications nature, nature cell biology.. and I have worked for one year in his lab)</p>

<p>My TOEFL score is 102</p>

<p>My GRE score are 750 quantitative (82%) 3.5 analytical writing (26%) and 450 (49%) verbal.</p>

<p>My GRE subject score (Biochemistry cell and molecular biology) is 620 (81%)</p>

<p>I gotta say I also got admitted to a prestigious..maybe the best, european PhD program (EMBL) but I left after one year and I had to justifiy that in my SOP.</p>

<p>I have applied for Columbia, stanford, jhon hopkins, cold spring harbor, university of california san francisco, rockefeller, Sloan kettering. </p>

<p>I would be glad to people who would like to share their opinions about my scores with me. </p>

<p>Also, is the application of foreigners students processed separatley respect to the one of U.S. students (2 separate selections?)</p>

<p>Thanks in Advance</p>
