well i know this is an old thread but this r my 2cents.
background: i was once a biochem phd student myself and i quit after 2 years
, i am at a t14, no GC, i will start at a big law corporate dept next year.
law school is prob the best decision i v made, in so far as it worked out
for me so far. u have one shot to cast a spell on ur destiny, which is also
known as oci. therefore, if u can get into a t14, do it, do it now, if u
cannot, think of something else (cs, pharmacy, physician assistant, health
care administration, health policy, epidemiology, biostat, or even med
school).
also, ur bio background cannot help u almost in any sense to get into ip
prosecution IMO, but i had no desire to do so. it will help to get into
certain ip lit groups at big law, or it can simply be a good story to tell
overall if u know how to spin it.
hope this helps.
