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.
What volunteer/intern STEM opportunities are there for high schoolers??
Hi! I'm a rising junior who's looking into studying a STEM major, most likely biology or biochemistry. Are there any resources to find volunteer or internship opportunities that are local to me?

As a future dentistry student, how do most pre-dental students navigate the financial burden of dental school, and are there any specific strategies or programs that help them?
I am an 18 year old rising college freshman and have been interested in pursuing dentistry throughout all four years of high school. I am convinced this profession will not only help me serve my community but also help give me a bigger understanding of collaboration and communication. I already have experience volunteering at a hospital and have frequent visits with my orthodontist but I am just worried about paying for this professions education as I am aware it will not only take a long time and be difficult, it will also cost a pretty penny.
How versatile and stable are the chemical engineering vs. bioengineering fields, and where do the two overlap??
I'm a student at Oregon State University currently majoring in Bioengineering. I'm considering switching to Chemical Engineering. So far, I have taken on one internship doing biochemistry research and I'm a licensed Pharm Tech. I know that I'm interested in Biochemistry and Chemistry, and I want to know which major is most applicable to pharmaceuticals or has the potential to expand my options should I find out I'm interested in non-pharma things. If you can, please also comment on any potential salary differences. Thank you for your help!

What careers in chemistry if I love ochem?
I’m a junior in college and recently decided that my major, marine biology, isn’t going to work out. But I love chemistry and am taking organic chemistry at the moment and find it so fascinating . I need to talk with my advisor to tell her that I need to switch to biochemistry or chemistry degree. I figured biochemistry would have the best of both worlds , chemistry and biology, but the more I read they don’t work with the nitty gritty of chemistry itself but of the interactions with organisms. Is that true? I know I need to go to grad school so don’t want to make the wrong choice , I just I enjoy science, mechanisms and the actual interactions with molecules themselves and specifically organic chemistry . Is there a career that would involve that ? Ideally I would want to work in a lab as well . Thanks ! ? Also, I’ve researched into environmental chemist, do they work with chemistry much or just mainly policy and paperwork ?
