I need help with this please.

Seem pretty clear to me. It means that there are two ways you can be admitted into the graduate program of the school.

1) You will be admitted to the department directly. It is highly likely you would have a specific research interest, contact the faculty and get their commitment to taking you as a student.

2.) The second is an interdepartment (if I can call it that) program involving all the departments that can be classified as as biomedical/health related. It gives you more flexibility in selecting your area of research and would probably admit higher number of students (with various science background) through this method.

Today I took the GRE a second time and I'm relieved it's over as I don't intend taking it again.I took the test for the first time July 3rd, I scored 309, 154v 155q,AWA 4.0. I was disappointed to say the least,it felt like all of my efforts were in vain. I put in a lot of work considering my schedule(I'm resident on a construction site and it's very stressful)and it was just a downer. When I left the exam hall that day I knew I wanted to retake the exam but I was thinking of the money I'll have to pay again, luckily for me a friend of mine graciously offered to pay for me( someone I've never met o). So I registered and decided to focus more on practice tests to build my stamina.Today's was significantly more difficult than my last and I can attribute it to my doing better on my first sections than I did during my last attempt. Honestly the second section of my quantitative was difficult, my hands were shaking throughout the whole thing. I was already afraid I was going to score poorly again.My experimental section was verbal too so I had to read those long passages urgggh, I eventually reported my scores( I actually covered my face, I was really nervous) opened it and saw 158v 158Q , while its 4 marks short of my ideal score, I'm just happy it isn't too bad and I can actually put the GRE behind me and move on to the next thing.

This thread really helped me, I got a lot of materials andI was also motivated by the great scores here. Saying a big thank you to rexcheeng for his encouragement too. I'm sorry if my writing is all over the place, I'm just writing as it comes to mind.

Oh okay,
I didn't do very good for my choice school.
I got 324 (Q:162 V:162), took the exam today so nothing yet on AWA.

gokuu:

Scholastica16:

It depends on how egregious the mistake in your name is. If it is just a few letters, then I wouldn't sweat it. Getting the supervisor to give you a letter of recommendation helps to prove you did the work. You can also discuss the research in your SOP and add a line about your name being misspelled if you are comfortable with that.

But if I were you, I would just discuss the project since I am the one that did it, without any mention of the mistake. If adcomms are in doubt about authorship, they can always contact you for clarification.

Time2Smile:
It is definitely a plus. Be sure to mention it in your SOP, you can even cite the article as a footnote in your SOP.

All these just worked too much against home ties....all coming one after the other. You went as a couple which fine but no kids that fine but then plenty relatives in MD and u picked a school in MD.... Individually these factors might have been ok but combined together just seemed like someone who will not come back

Sorry about your delay..
