) j/ x5 k0 T# M4 k t/ jAs for myself, actually I started college uncertain about what I wanted to pursue. At my school, freshmen started without a major anyway, and there were a lot more pre-meds, percentage-wise, than most other schools I believe (好像不小心又多說了點可能被人猜到的內容). In the end, I decided to double-major across 2 very different disciplines. I had always been interested in bio and chem stuffs, and being surrounded by pre-meds, I considered it at one point, too. My grades were pretty bad (GPA一開始連3都沒有，後來才拉到3的，好在沒拿過F，靠著高中拿的AP學分還是能提早畢業了). Maybe if I just wanted to apply to some not-so-good med schools and did extensive volunteer work, maybe I still had a shot, but I am kind of afraid of blood anyway, so eventually I decided it wasn't for me. I was one of those very few kids that got a bachelor's degree in a bio-related field but decided not to go for a postgraduate degree (碩士跟bio不相關了). In fact, without citizenship or PR, it is quite difficult to get into a med school in the US. It would be a waste of American resources, if someone graduated from a US medical school could not actually work in the US afterwards, at least that was what I heard. I think this is different from most other postgraduate schools, where the applicant's immigration status doesn't matter as much (不過樓主如果是唸public university - in fact one of the candidates within a couple of hours from Chicago that someone else mentioned earlier is where my parents went to grad school - 可能undergrad的申請in-state跟out-of-state還是有差距的吧). 我大學認識一個東南亞學弟GPA不錯，med school申請兩回都不成，後來他跟同屆美國人同學結婚（也交往很久了）拿到PR後，再申請馬上就申請到了。

0 I, `4 J& M8 B我不在pharma，算是pharma旁邊一個沒那麼多金的相關領域，誤打誤撞進來，轉眼也快10年了。After I completed my OPT, I went back to Taiwan and worked at 2 different companies, a year each, but I really could not get used to the corporate culture here. 原本考慮再投一次H-1B（有sponsor），但後來有個不是美國但也是歐美的公司願意讓我加入，我人在臺灣但替他們工作，待遇雖然沒有在歐美好，但還是比我在臺灣能找的好一些，而且我在臺灣消費也沒那麼高，做幾年了感覺也還行吧，就算比上不足比下也還是挺有餘的。（其實說了這麼多，感覺如果認識我的人要猜到是我不難，算了給人看到就給人看到吧。）

至於他的部份，他大學時對med school比我更serious一些，後來聽了比較偏頗的建議（他事後也後悔），選了旁邊另一條較少人走的路。其實也沒跟med school差很多，but considering his privacy, I think I should not disclose much further than that.
