<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>
