Holy crap...I didn't notice you applied to 20 schools, ghost! You must be exhausted (and will continue to be exhausted if you keep getting interviews )

I was distracted by the pizza cat as your avatar.

I'm not applying this year, my girlfriend is. She got a call from them.

WashU just sent out some early invites.

My girlfriend got an interview from Harvard PhD for Biological Sicences in Public Health and a Yale BBS interview today. Oh and a UNC GMB interview. She's 5/6 so far! Only one more to go (Vandy)

Friend got one today (12/12).

I know a lot of Emory programs have already done their initial scan this past weekend. My girlfriend just got an invite from Emory's GMB program.

Good luck to everyone applying this year! With a girlfriend who is going through the process currently (and I will be next year), I can understand how nerve-racking it can be.

Hi everyone, I'm currently a biology major at my university, which is well-respected in the liberal arts but doesn't have an engineering school. I'm pretty far along in my biology degree, and I've noticed I'm interested in engineering (I've been working in an microfluidics/optics lab). Everyone that I know at my school is telling me to just finish and get a masters in engineering but the programs I'm interested in state on their website that you need specific prereqs and that most of the time the acceptees come in with an engineering degree. So I'm in a little bit of a conundrum. I don't know whether I should just transfer to a place with an engineering school or finish and take classes on the side while I work. Honestly, transferring may be easier since I have a sweet scholarship that covers a ton of stuff and I really don't want to give up the rigor to go to my state school (it's pretty bad rigor-wise). Anyways, I just wanted to ask you guys what you think. Have you seen people go into masters program without an engineering bachelors? Any ancedotes would be helpful...thanks!
