weaving my thoughts

Friday, October 10, 2008

okay..so after thinking and thinking...
i have made the decision to pursue my graduate studies.
it is just a thought, not a conclusion yet.
i may work first as a research assistant/research tech/or whatever lab based
to shine up my resume. or i will just do my masters in nus first.
providing if i got the scholarship.
I DON'T WANT a phd from nus..
reason being i want to experience reasearch elsewhere.
i want to work with a different PI, different environment, people..
my thoughts is the united states would be the best place for biomedical sci.
and so i search and search the web for the uni that suits my taste.
CORNELL.
yes, the exact phd degree i would have dream of: immuno+micobio pathogenesis.
it is exactly what I'm doing right now.
it's like a calling.
I WANT TO STUDY in CORNELL.
and that is my aim.
i don't care how old I am, I just want to fulfill my aim and my interest.
and to pursue great science, at a great school, in a great city like NY.
and another VERY IMPORTANT reason
for choosing cornell is money.
money is not a problem as
"All students accepted to Ph.D. degree-granting programs are awarded a full tuition scholarship, which includes all tuition, tuition fees and health insurance costs. In addition to a full tuition scholarship, a generous graduate student stipend of $31,677 per annum "

so, this is a big step and challenge. and a big dream.
can i make it happen??????????
