  1. that's nice to hear; the week of judgment is coming :/
  2. Thanks for the reply! I will try to be more patient
  3. haven't got a response from Princeton MolBio yet, are they still reviewing applications?
  4. Has Princeton Molecular Biology sent out all their invites? I don't know who to contact to ask about it
  5. Same....that's almost the first thing I do when I wake up
  6. (Updated) Undergrad Institution: Russell Group University, UK Major(s): Biological Sciences (Concentration: Cell Biology) GPA in Major: N/A Overall GPA: First Class Honours (predicted); 3.84 (while exchange at an US institution) Position in Class: Top 10% Type of Student: International GRE Scores: Q: 162 (83%) V: 156 (71%) W: 4.0 (56%) B: N/A Research Experience: 1) 2.5 months research in cell biology through a prestigious summer internship programme in Switzerland (yielded a co-author paper) 2) 2 semesters of term-time research in a molecular/cellular neuroscience lab in Hopkins 3) 3 months research in an ageing/Alzheimer's disease lab in Singapore 4) will be working on a project (for about 7 months) related to gene regulation in the coming academic year (Master's project) Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Under a national scholarship that covers my tuition fees and living expenses; the summer research fellowship mentioned above Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Volunteered as experimental demonstrators in public science events; gave a poster presentation at the end of the aforementioned internship; wrote a scientific paper presenting the results of the term-time research I did Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: One co-authored publication Special Bonus Points: (not sure whether diverse research experience counts) Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: Applying to Where: Princeton: Molecular Biology Stanford: Genetics Brown: MCB (Ageing pathway)
  7. Has anyone heard from Princeton Molecular Biology? When will they start sending out invitations?
  8. I'm actually an international student who's currently studying in the UK, so my main focus will be on UK/European institutions.
  9. I am applying to: 1) Princeton University, PhD in Molecular Biology 2) Stanford University, PhD in Genetics 3) Brown University, PhD in MCB Wish you guys the best of luck with your applications! And, please generously inform all of us when you get an interview invitation (that would kill the wait, more or less; esp. for the institutions/programmes above!)
  10. Thanks for your reply! I think I'll opt out of the subject test and focus on other aspects of my applications.
  11. Is it really necessary to take the subject test? (I just realised that there's no place left for the next test date (24th Oct) in the UK, and if I need to take the test, I will have to travel to France........)
  12. REPOST: Just wondering whether I should retake my GRE to boost my chances of at least getting an interview from these programmes; and am I aiming too high, if I am, what programmes/universities should I consider instead? My interests lie in the field of biology of ageing/gene expression. And, my profile is pathetic in comparison to any of those that have been posted!
