Consumer Reviewer considered research?
Hello everyone,
For a couple of years I have worked as a consumer reviewer for a program that funds clinical research. I review up to 15 research proposals and rank them according to impact, feasibility, personnel, etc. Several clinicians, researchers, statisticians, and I meet during a conference for two or three days and discuss our notes for each category of the application.

I am...

Did my Undergraduates degree at the University of Cambridge in Biomedical Science. Due to being an International Student, I know my options and chances of admission are already limited, especially given that I did my undergraduate degree in the UK and the lack of schools which offer funding for Internationals with no green card...

UMich vs UCSD vs Kaiser
I wanted to get some advice on deciding between these schools. I’m still waiting on a few other decisions post interview, but those decisions won’t be out for a few months.
