They seem to have a good alignment in terms of my interests, but I'm not sure if I'm reaching too much in terms of the competition I will face. I'll take a look at the "Public Ivies" that Vene suggested to see if I can find others that may be a good fit as well. I am thinking of maybe U Michigan and MD Anderson.

Thought I would throw mine into the mix Undergrad Institution: Top Public Research Institution, Decent Biology program (I think) Major(s): BS Biology Minor(s): GPA in Major: 3.85 Overall GPA: 3.75 Position in Class: Not sure, fairly near top I presume Type of Student: Domestic male GRE Scores (revised/old version): Q: 166 V: 164 W: Waiting B: Should I take it? Research Experience: Undergraduate research was for 2.5 years working under one of the Postdoctorate fellows on her project. Most of my work was in the cell and molecular biology field, specifically in cancer cell biology. Didn't get a publication out of this because I mostly worked on some side projects she had going rather than those that contributed to figures. Currently working as a lab technician in a lab at a different university on my own project. Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Graduated with Honors (Deans list 8 semesters if that matters), Golden Key; missed PBK unfortunately. Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Currently a lab technician Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: Special Bonus Points: (Such as connections, grad classes, famous recommenders, female or minority status etc...) Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: Applying to Where: Harvard MCB U Chicago CMB Yale MCDB Tufts CMDB UCSD BMS UCSF Tetrad Princeton CMB UT Southwestern Cancer Bio UNC Cancer Cell Bio UPenn CMB I believe most of these school would be reach schools, so currently looking into what may be more realistic.
