<p>Hey guys, </p>
<p>I would like some feedback on whether or not I should retake the GRE. I want to apply to graduate school for molecular biology. My scores are as follows: Q 161-86%, V-155-69%, and W 4.5- 72%. I have a 3.8 GPA and a lot of research experience. I am not worried about anything else on my application except for my GRE scores. Do I have a chance in getting into any of the top graduate schools or should I retake the GRE? Thanks for your feedback! :)</p>
<p>Depends on where you are applying and how good your research experience is.</p>
<p>Some schools I plan to apply to are Stanford, Berkeley, Rockefeller, Duke, etc. As for research experience I currently work at a maize genetics lab and a biochemistry lab dealing with nematode signaling. This past summer I interned at a Maize genetics lab in Stanford. I expect to get good letters of rec from these professors. All of my research has been funded by Howard Hughes Medical Institute- I have received two undergraduate research awards. As for conferences, I presented posters at a national maize genetics conference, two conferences held at the University of Florida, and two conferences by Howard Hughes Medical Institute Science for Life program. I plan to complete a senior thesis before I graduate…I am a junior right now. In addition, one of my PIs said that I still have time to get on a publication before I graduate. So is my research experience and my 3.8 GPA enough to compensate for my GRE score?</p>
