>>2426658If you're planning on going to grad school, maybe try finding a Syrian professor who teaches pharma in a burger university and applying there? One of the professors at my grad school was from a ME nation and we had a pretty good showing of students from his native country, favoritism is still very allowed in America. I wouldn't even know how to start searching for that, you might just have to start poring through university faculty lists if you want to go that route.
