Anyone in a MS Biology or related program?

I spoke to my undergrad Biology prof yesterday about my options of getting to med school. One that she brought up was having already earned a BS, take my pre-reqs for med school and then go the MS route of taking upper-level sciences while getting to do some TA(which could pay for some tuition), research, etc. for 1.5-2 yr. I'm strongly considering this route because it would let me get enough sciences in as well as finish off graduate coursework in something I'd be interested in(versus the previous program I was in). My school apparently wants you to have a 1500 on the GRE but also mentioned on the website as their not being any strict cut-offs. I know I'd have to refer to my school more for info on the program, but in regards to the GRE, is a 1500 attainable with good prep?

You can get a 1500!!

Look at the GRE site and average scores etc....

The students that might have problems getting such a score usually don't speak english as their first language.

I prepared using a computer program. Take a practice test and see how it goes. I just took a few practice exams and did well. I know that the format has changed since I took it, but it was similar to the SAT and probably still is.
