hey everyone. i am applying this coming summer/fall for the class of 2007, only to UPENN. i want to tell you what qualifications i have, and would like feedback about more that i can do and such from others who've gotten in there or are in there now. thanks
overall GPA: 3.986
science GPA: 4.0
GRE: V480 (bleh!) Q630 Writing=4.5
Biology undergrad, expecting B.S. May 2007
Current research on Juvenile Horseshoe Crab Feeding Ecology. if that goes well i may be published and graduate with distinction from my undergrad college.
will be Teaching Assistant for Comparative Anatomy this upcoming fall term
since august 2005, i have been working at a small animal hospital. i started as a kennel technician and have been promoted after 6 months to a doctor's assistant. i'm there about 3 days a week. prior to that i shadowed a vet for several weeks (the same i work for now). the three vets i work for all went to UPENN.
references: advisor at college is a vet, from Penn and so is vet recommendation. haven't completely decided on the third choice.
my main question is do i stand a chance with those horrible GRE scores? i am going to take them again, but i dont know how much they will go up. i stink at standardized tests. any info/feedback you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
