How much does the GRE matter for Biology graduate admissions ?

I’m a college freshman studying Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. I intend on going straight to a PhD after my undergraduate degree (will probably do it in Biochem, Microbiology, or something similar). I joined a research lab at the start of my freshman year, and am participating in a research fellowship this summer. I know research is what matters most for PhD applications in my field, but how important is the GRE? I’ve heard that depending on the field, this varies a lot.

For biology graduate admissions, including PhDs in fields like Biochemistry, Microbiology, or similar areas, the GRE's importance has been shifting in recent years.

Although GRE is important for your admission, but the scores vary based on university you aim to get admission.

I would also suggest focusing on research experience, publications, fellowships and recommendation letters.

Good luck!!
