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.

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)

My TOEFL score is 102

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

My GRE subject score (Biochemistry cell and molecular biology) is 620 (81%)

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.

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

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

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

Thanks in Advance
