I am a biochemistry major looking to get into a phD program in molecular or developmental biology. I have a 3.30 GPA from a 2nd tier school and my verbal GRE scores are also mediocre.

(GRE: 530 verbal, 760 quantitative, 5.0 analytical).

However, I have 1.5yrs of full-time research work and 3 excellent letters of recommendation from people who I know think highly of my research capabilities.

I am also going to graduate on time, within the traditional 4yrs, even though I took a year off (got accepted to a year-long research fellowship) although I'm not sure if that helps any.

Also, none of the 3 references are my professors. Does that hurt my chances? Two are from scientist's who I've worked directly with and the third is my advisor who knows me personally and is very well respected in the science community. All 3 are phDs and published.

Also, I am female and a US citizen (not minority, though). I'll also need funding.

Help?

I am currently majoring in Information Technology, but I don't feel like it is the right thing for me. I want to do something creative with my life. I want to enjoy what I do. I just can't figure out what I could change my major to (if I decide to) that would still make good money. Any suggestions? Any ideas?

Despite the fact that we all spend so much of our lives consuming media, and the further fact that media provision, whether it is the internet, TV, radio, or the press, is changing and developing so rapidly, there seem to be so many people out there who think (for some reason) that a Media degree is not a 'real' degree!

Of course it is not a 'traditional' degree- with a longer view nothing other than theology is! But, for some reason, people with degrees in engineering or architecture or veterinary science, or even literature, think that their degree is- somehow- more 'real'.

The importance, the reality, and the complexity of the subject matter is surely beyond question? And, despite what some people seem to think, there are lots of jobs in it!

I can only conclude it is a mixture of envy and ignorance that leads to the plethora of negative remarks about media degrees! Isn't that sad?
