<p>Endoplasm, your screen name and resume suggest a strong interest in the life sciences and the patent seems intriguing. I wish you the best of luck in getting it!</p>

<p>You must understand that no one on these boards can provide you with a very revealing response to your question about admission chances. I believe, however, that all of us would agree that you are a very competitive candidate with great scores and some apparently significant work in biology. Congratulations! I’m certain that Princeton would be very happy to have you apply. The competition is fierce but you present impressive credentials so far. Good luck!</p>

<p>I think you are in the top quarter of the applicant pool. Whether you are in top 10% that ultimately gets admitted is difficult to say, but I think you have a very good shot.</p>
