<p>hey all, im really into science, specifically biochem (as pre-med). so, how helpful in admissions is it for me to have a job at a biotech company and do research (both independent and group) at a local hospital? also, hopefully i'll get published from my hospital work, and maybe company work.</p>
<p>thanks for the input</p>
<p>no replies? come on...</p>
<p>research is always good, don't ask questions you know the answer to already.</p>
<p>Yale really hates research. I suggest you play the rebel card for a few years to really show some variety in your transcript and ec's. The adcom gets so tired of straight A's and nobel prize winners. They would much rather admit a member of a gang, especially if you're the founder.</p>
<p>^noted....</p>
<p>Divanny, in the competitive world of college admissions, just founding a gang isn't enough anymore. What counts is the number of people you have busted a cap on in the streets.</p>
<p>I hear Yale admit rates for junvenile hall beats those for prep schools.</p>
<p>And felonies trump legacies.</p>
<p>Well, that explains my EA deferral. I suppose I could bash a few heads in if the admissions committee needs it.</p>
<p>Does anyone have mob connections? If I'm going to commit a felony, it's going to be memorable.</p>
<p>i got a speeding ticket, and a techical foul in basketball once... does that count?</p>
<p>Finally! That coke deal gone wrong in Tijuana will pay off!</p>
