Some people are still reporting getting the award, so i'm guessing they're not at a final list yet. Maybe after then they'll post it? Or maybe in September?

The GRE counts a little bit for NDSEG, but is combined with GPA/transcript, I think. I don't remember if NSF asks for GRE, but if they do, it's not heavily weighted.

Could be a lot of people got NSF too and couldn't accept both.

I think eventually they will put up a 2015 awardees list on the site, like they have for 2012-14 currently. This has the sponsoring office listed for each person. But from what I can tell currently, no they haven't said which agency is sponsoring.

Looks like this is already settled, but having interviewed at Pitt for comp bio, I was very much not impressed. CMU might be totally different, but if anyone out there has an interview for the joint program in comp bio, make sure you know which school they're considering you for or else you might be wasting your time.

Hey team, I'm looking for advice on picking a computational biology program (between Yale, Cornell Tri-I, and UC Berkeley). I'm pretty sure I know where I'm leaning, but your thoughts would be helpful. I'm coming from a molecular bio background, and my primary educational goals are to improve my applied math and CS skills. I'm mostly interested in doing structural bio/molecular dynamics/systems bio research. Location is important... I'd prefer to be somewhere reasonably cosmopolitan mostly for my personal life (dating, whatnot). Campus vibe and reputation are also important. I want to be with the smartest peers and faculty I can, in a place with good teaching/mentoring, that's recognized as one of the top universities (by employers in science/other industry), and preferably where students enjoy their lives and like their school. So... which would you pick? Thanks! -Cogidubnus

Gaaaahhhhh admitted to the Ph.D in computational biology at UC Berkeley!!

Another no thanks from Stanford. But UCSF is also a great option! I got a no thanks from them, but a miracle invite from Berkeley (somehow...).

I sent it in before 12/1. I have good grades and test scores, but I don't have a good research background and I didn't take any CS courses in college... my CS background is self taught over the last year. Hence the rejects from UCSF and MIT (and probably all the others at this point except Cornell...).

I think I'm the only one who posted a CMU/Pitt invitation, and it's a big program. I'm guessing they're not done sending out invites.

Me too... just got a no thank you from UCSF. Didn't feel as bad as I thought it would... someone just posted a reject with a 990 GRE subject test. Clearly they have high standards

Just heard from CMU-Pitt computational biology. The interview weekend is 2/16-2/17

Just called UCSF IPQB... they just started sending out interview invites, and have more to send. According to the coordinator, "no news really is no news." So... those of you who were perhaps super depressed when you saw the invites go out on the results search shouldn't be

Yeah I applied to CSBi... looks like they sent out a rejection. I haven't heard anything.... which I guess is good/neutral?
