<p>You stand good chances like we all do. The important thing is to stand out from others. Like you, I have done research in chemistry, so I plan on banking on that as helping me stand out. I suggest you do also. Why don't you submit an abstract of your research since you've been published and all? (which, btw, is definitely a plus, so mention it!)</p>
