 @eternalsunshine: thanks for the suggestion bro! that tells me what to expect


@nepali_nepali: thanks for boosting up my optimism! you sound like my mentor. yo optimism bhanne kuroko paiso pardo rainchha, jatti lage ni hunchha! 
that Irish guy is the one who got me interested into cancer. when i graduate after two years I'll have at least 2 publications with primary authorship, 2-3 more with co-authorship, couple of poster presentations at conferences including one at the AACR (the most awaited one!), 3.9 GPA, and a good MCAT score, internships, physician shadowing, etc etc
considering these things, I'm not worried too much about getting into the program.

I'm taking about MD Anderson as my primary target for now. i'll be doing an internship at Baylor in Houston this summer, that'll be a good opportunity to learn about neighboring schools including MD Anderson.
i agree with you about going for good rather than considering time spent.
thanks for your advise.
