Thanks, Does anyone have any more ideas? I would love to know what strengthens the resume of students from small private schools for league colleges? Doesn't degree from league colleges guarantee a better future in terms of work and publications in future?

about GRE, I can say that ....its really about time management...it can cost you upto 200 points... and make sure you practise well on the PowerPrep quizzes that the ETS provides...those are the scores that reflect truly on your performance....other tests that you take online will not simulate the real exam... good luck

Choice of grad school really depends on your GPA, GRE scores, research experience, statement of purpose and recommendations (the order varies for different schools). So without knowing where you stand, I can not suggest a school. Rather than looking at the US News Ranking for grad school, I suggest using this link: http://graduate-school.phds.org/rankings/biochemistry where you can get result based on your priorities including higher number of international students, availability of fellowships etc. Grad school applications cost a lot of time, effort and money and I will advise not to apply to more than 8-10 schools.
If you have strong research experience, both on-campus and off-campus, including summer research activities, you need not take GRE subject test in Biochemistry. Most schools only 'recommend' that you take it. I think Scripps Institute in La Jolla used to be the only school that required a subject test when I was applying for grad schools. If you have done poorly in biology or chemistry courses during your undergraduate years, then good GRE subject test scores will definitely boost your application.
Spend a good chunk of time on the content of your SOP. SOP is the best way to convey your passion for science and grad school admission committee weighs it the most. It should be personal, concise and impactful. You can find samples and discussion forums online: (http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/graduate-school/ and http://www.thegradcafe.com/)
