Hi everybody !

I’m applying this autumn to several US and Canadian universities, and here are my stats:

GRE General V-570, Q-660, Analytical - still waiting, but does not expect it to be less than 4.5
GRE Subject test in biochemistry/molecular/cell biology - 90%
GPA - 92% (I don’t know how to convert our grading system to American, but over here everything less than 50% is fail (F), and the top is of course 100% which nobody ever achieves)
TOEFL ib - 107
Fluent in French as well (DELF diploma - 92%)
Research experience - very modest: 6 months in a molecular virology lab of University of Belgrade and 3 months of confocal microscopy training (due to the political circumstances in my country after fall of Slobodan Milosevic, I could not get some summer fellowship)

Finally, here’s the list of universities where I will apply:

Harvard - BBS
Stanford
UCLA
University of Southern California, Keck School of Medicine
University of British Columbia
University of Toronto
Universite de Montreal

Please bee free to assess my chances of getting admitted to these universities based on your experiences. I’m looking forward to your advices !

Kindest regards from Serbia,

D.
