CUNY is my potential destination for Fall 2013. I recently got admitted into the Biology PhD program at CUNY Graduate Center and am currently waiting on decisions from other programs. What program/school are you going into?

i spotted a polisci admission decision for cuny. good luck guys!

Haha yeah.. That's why I was so confused when I got the e-mail from the financial aid office. As soon as I got that e-mail, I checked my application status, and it said I was accepted into the program o_O.. I feel like this school's pretty disorganized.. But yeah.. I'm planning on making a visit next week for the program's open house event.

The financial aid office sent me an e-mail first, then received an e-mail from the department few days later, then finally received official letters from the department and the financial aid office. Your admission status does get updated on their application website though. And yeah, their website is pretty terrible haha.

I'd recommend a Thinkpad if you're thinking of getting a PC. Solid build quality.

Wow. That is really late.. I applied to CUNY GC as well but for the biology program. I received my admission decision two weeks ago or so. Do you know if political science at CUNY GC is a popular program?

My profile is pretty embarassing compared to everyone else's, but hopefully it makes some people feel better about their applications (haha). I had my mind set on pursuing a career in dentistry until I found out how much I loved biology in the biochemical/molecular levels which was not until late junior year. I guess I'm a late bloomer. I'm a pretty smart kid even though my numbers/activities may tell you otherwise. Undergrad Institution: Small, private, liberal art school with a weak biology department (couldn't resist not paying anything for an undergraduate education!) Major(s): Biochemistry and Biology, double major Minor(s): None GPA in Major: Biochemistry (3.184/4.000), Biology (3.286/4.000) Overall GPA: 3.251/4.000 Position in Class: Probably average Type of Student: Domestic, male, minority (if Asians are considered a minority in higher education anymore..) GRE Scores (revised/old version): Q: 163/88% V: 154/61% W: 5.0/92% B: Too lazy. Research Experience: No undergraduate or summer research experience (I was a slacker who was more focused in the social life). I've been conducting research at my current position (~4 months now) at a small company that is more chemistry related than anything (polymer chemistry, fabrication). Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Sigh. Pertinent Activities or Jobs: General chemistry lab TA, Current research position (see research experience) Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: Co-authored in a provisional patent application at my current job. Special Bonus Points: Sigh. Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: Sigh. Applying to Where: Mostly low-tier PhD programs and few masters programs in molecular biology San Diego State University - PhD UC Santa Barbara - PhD City University of New York - PhD SUNY Downstate Medical Center - PhD UC Riverside - PhD Stony Brook University - PhD San Francisco State University - M.S. San Jose State University - M.B.T. UC Irvine - M.S. Good luck, everyone!
