I’m definitely going to do whatever it takes to get my doctorate, I have no doubt that that’s what I want to do. I find the lab portions of classes to be rather relaxing…haha. I was really just curious as to if there were more people out there who felt the way I do (that the grad school applicant pool is 99% 4.0/sky high GRE scores/20 publications and 1% average) and what their advice was.

Btw, in our local newspaper there’s an article about a forensics lab that has recently (2003) opened, I’m thinking about giving them a call to see if they’d take me on as an intern for the rest of the summer, even if it’s just one or two days a week. I know it’s not the same as a biotech company, but would that help? Or be more useless science filler, haha. Thanks guys
