  1. Hello everyone! I'm going to be a PhD in the Science Education program. I'm really excited and headed up in two weeks to look for a place to stay. Suggestions appreciated!
  2. For the past few years, I've been relatively sure I wanted to get a PhD rather than go to medical school. Unfortunately, I let my parents pressure me into going the medical school route. Recently, I've told them I intend to get a PhD and do not want to go to medical school. My goal is to get a PhD in immunology or pharmacology with research interests in cancer. I'm currently in a Master's of Medical Science program. There is no research component to this program and it is geared mostly towards getting people in professional school. I have another two semesters (summer and fall) left. I also got accepted into Georgetown for a Masters in Tumor Biology for the fall. My undergraduate GPA was a 3.02 and I did well on the GRE. My question is how will I make myself most attractive to PhD programs? Should I finish the masters program I'm in then try to find somewhere I can do research for a year or should I leave and attend the Georgetown program? The biggest issue keeping me from just going to Georgetown is money. The program will require me to take out ~$65,000 in loans. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
