Hi guys,

Glad I found this forum. I’d love to hear advices from you regarding my admissions plan, both positive and flaming comments are greatly appreciated.

International student
GPA: 3.7
GRE Subject 95%tile
GRE General: TBD (Powerprep scores 1520 and 1540)
Research - 3 full years with 2 1st author papers (impact factor 5 and 10) and another one being submitted during summer.
Recs: Very strong as far as I was told.

I plan to apply to biomedical sciences (most likely molecular cell biology) at the following schools:
Harvard, Stanford, Yale, MIT, Caltech, UCSF, Baylor, Penn, Columbia, Cornell Hopkins, Berkeley, Rockefeller and Princeton.

What do you think? I personally don’t want to settle for anything less, but if you think I should add some “safety” schools I’d love to hear them.
