the test is so stupid..I did not prepare anything this time just showed up for the test after I was in hangover all weekend..felt worse than last time while I was taking the test and the result was significant increase in my scores....it is such a relief though.

You might look into Rockefeller and see if you have a research match there. They are very international friendly. But frankly, I wouldn't worry at all.

thanks GCN2, I did look at Rockefellar. I don't think I will be a good fit there...I saw a couple of labs where I might be interested in working but just a couple...so thought of not applyin there..

It looks like an outstanding program, but I know what you mean I am having a hard time finding faculty that jump out at me. Then again, I am comparing them to Sloan K or Weill Cornell, where nearly all of the faculty seem interesting haha.

If you can afford the app, I say go for it. You should be quite competitive among the international candidates that apply, as well as those who are domestic. With a pub in nature and a solid GPA, I really don't see a big roadblock for you besides citizenship. Then again, all of this advice comes from someone who is actively applying! I might be way off on how I view the application process.
Though if you are planning on dropping a school, pick Sloan. I could use less competition haha. :P
