<p>You obviously have a chance however the acceptance rate is so low (about 5% i think) it is impossible to say for sure</p>

<p>“Also reseraching MRSA spread” interesting, especially from a medical perspective. There was a huuuge deal around my school about that bacteria (I think? or virus?). What exactly are you going to research about it?</p>

<p>Edit: Btw, you seem like a good candidate for PLME but I’ve seen better and about the same candidates get rejected, some better accepted, some worse accepted… it’s really just luck. good luck.</p>
