ground zero

maybe because I'm not much of a philosopher and I can't get the joke. I like Hitler as a TA a lot better tho.

woops. this is why I'm not a bio major LOL. (i blame my mistake on the prof. who taught me biochem... heh)

deep hole

1. Do you want to be a TA during your graduate studies? 2. Do you want to continue your studies at a school with Nobel laureates, or do you want to work for/with them? 3. How are the required core classes like? Do they expect you to know the basics before you begin your studies? Many grad students that I know dislike being a TA because it sucks up a lot of time from their research. Therefore, what's good about graduate programs offered by med schools is that PhD students do not have to TA. Now, if you wanted to go into academia in the future, these med schools always have options/ways that allow you to be a TA. In other words, "you don't have to be a TA if you don't want to, but there are always opportunities for you to be a TA" versus "You must TA for an academic year in order to get your PhD". Depends on what field you are trying to go into, the reputation of the school in different fields (e.g. academia vs. industry) may varies. My undergrad institution is pretty big with scientific research with a few Nobel laureates, but there are always people "never heard of" the name of my school, even if it is one of the bigger public schools in the West. The question that you want to answer is if you want to go to UTSW because they have Nobel winners or because you wanna work for/with one of them. While it may mean a lot if you can work with one of them, working in the same school does not give you a whole lot of advantages. I would say that the quality of your publication weight a lot more than the name of the school that you attend. Therefore, if you can try to figure out whether your Nobel POI will be taking any students for this/next year will help you to decide whether you wanna go to UTSW / NYU just because one has Nobel laureates or not. Personally, I would not choose a school based on the # of Nobel laureates, but rather who I can/will be working for/with. I understand your concern, because I am in the same boat, sort of. While a 4-year university will definitely offer introductory classes as you mentioned, you'll have to check it with UTSW regarding their curriculum. Bottom line is that a med school that I had an interview with, they required grad students to take 2 or 3 core classes for biomedical sciences. And because the school knows that students may have diverse backgrounds, their first semester core class begins with learning the 20 amino acids, which is the first quarter of biochemistry at my school. In other words, your concern is not justified until you know the detail of the curriculum at UTSW.

make your gels without labeling it. i dare anyone would use it for their research

i've been told that an above-50% on subject test will be okay, unless you are an international applicant, then you may want to have at least 80% for your subject test. i've also been told that for physical science programs, on or above 80% in quant is a must. Thus far, I heard nobody who applied to an engineering program have a sub-760 in quant. I also noticed that many prestigious schools required a +500 in verbal section, regardless if you are a domestic/international applicant.
