@Calisha- there are 3 Vagelos programs, actually. MLS, LSM, and VIPER.

The MLS Vagelos program is the one that sounds like it would align with you (inthelab) the most, as it’s the most hardcore science based. Your research credentials are reasonably impressive, and definitely could give you a shot to get in. And, if you get into Penn but not the Vagelos program, just email the adviser. He’ll often make exceptions even if he doesn’t initially extend an invitation for you to join the program.
