Was a nerd that did sports (Baseball and Soccer) and was a pretty good left-handed pitcher but when I got to college I made the choice to make a career through academia instead of athletics. Now next fall Im going to get a PhD in medicinal chemistry at U of Utah! Turning to academia was the best decision Ive ever made

I actually just had my visit this weekend and FREAKIN LOVED the area and program! Your guys' facilities and faculty are amazing and I found out I was accepted on Wednesday. So needless to say I am extremely excited and I think there is a very high chance of me attending U of U next fall. I want to go to all the visitation weekends so I can make a well informed decision but I have been to all the other campuses already and am pretty familiar with the schools. The only one on par with Utah's environmental beauty is Santa Cruz sbut we will see what happens haha.

Yeah I say take it as a free vacation (pending that there is funding for it haha) and a chance to see somewhere you have never been or seen. Who knows maybe you will decide you love the area and program and have a change of heart. Unless its a financial burden or you are risking your grades I say go for it!

Thank you for the post!

Oops sorry about that! Good luck I hope you hear back

I have an interview for the University of Utah Biological Chemistry Program in the beginning of Feb. Their website says their stipend is 26k/year
