evanescent_wave Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 You get any publications out of all that research, or just presentations? Honestly you've got all of the right stats, so MIT/Harvard will probably come down to quality of LORs/SOP. What did you decide to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
