Need Suggestion
I gave GRE in oct and got a low score (152 V and 153 Q, AW: waiting). I have a GPA of 8.83/10 and have 2 international publication relevant to my interest area. I have also have poster presentation in some international conferences and I can get good reccos from my professors. I wanted to apply for PhD in Bioinformatics mainly in US in universities like Univ of Washington, UCLA,UC Berkeley but now due to GRE score I am reconsidering my chances for the application.I need suggestions regarding the same.

Re: Need Suggestion
Hey Aakanksha,
So what you need to do is talk to the admissions departments of the programs you're thinking of applying to, and simply ask them what kind of score they'd want to see. The truth is that the GRE is only a small part of your application, but if you're looking to apply to a competitive Ph.D. program in America, odds are good you will need to see a higher GRE score. So you should consider taking a class or doing private tutoring in order to improve your scores.
Hope that helps!
