<p>I am having trouble deciding between these two programs. Hoping the forums might have an opinion.</p>
<p>I have already identified a mentor at Cambridge who studies platinum resistance in ovarian cancer. I am very interested in the work but this program doesn’t offer classes and seems a little disorganized; you essentially are on your own for 4 years. In addition, it would be cool to live in Cambridge but spending two years in England and then two in DC might be too nomadic for me. </p>
<p>Berkeley MCB is very basic science based. I plan to go into translational research (drug discovery) in the future but think it might offer me an advantage to study cell biology-structural biology while I have the chance. Also, I really liked SF when I visited and I have some friends that are studying at Berkeley already. Berkeley would offer a much more traditional grad school experience.</p>
<p>Anyone got anything for me?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
