Ah. I understand completely. I'm trying to decide between UTSW and UCSF (although I might also fall in love with JHU this weekend). IF it makes you feel better San Fran is even more expensive lol. For me I think it will come down to research fit. I'm not going to grad school to make money so losing most of my stipend to rent is annoying but won't factor in to my final decision. Hoping you get in to Cornell good luck!

Thanks!

Hang in there a little longer to hear back from Cornell. What's wrong with UCLA?

Acceptance from Duke SSB!

awesome! Congratulations.

Congratulations!

congratulations!

@Banksy, ion_exchanger and Miz Milli: Thanks Guys!

awesome! which program is that?

Accepted at UCSF IPQB!

I hope he gets into the US program. Tuition for international students is not cheap and your salary alone will not likely cover the living expenses for your family.

So no stipend for him? Will he have to pay tuition as well?

He? Who is he? If he is your husband you should have no problem getting a visa as long as he gets one. The UK has Industry and Academic positions (postdocs) just like the US. The funding situation is just a little different. I know they post fellowships for Grad students online and you could likely find postdoc fellowships. These are lab specific so start looking to find an opening that would suit your interests/experience.

Sorry to hear that. How did they let you know?

You will need Orgo 2 for most biology based grad programs. I'd go Orgo 2 and Biochem 2 and worry about more specialized classes as a Grad student.

Congratulations!

Based on your description, looks like your heart is already at Vandy. One question to consider: If you and the PI your most interested in do not work out are there other PIs you would want to work for? How does this compare too your POIs at Dartmouth?

No idea but if a professor wanted you that bad wouldn't they fight to get you accepted in the first place? That said some people are "direct admitted" so it is possible.

If you are on the wait list you have not been rejected officially. If you have officially been rejected that's it for this season from that institution. That said people do get accepted off of wait lists.

Congratulations Banksy!

Absolutely

Accepted at cornell! Yay for options.

Anyone who was at UCSF for the first IPQB weekend want to share about their experience? I want to know what to expect this weekend.

UCSF specifically requires you to bring official copies of your transcripts to their interviews. Unless they asked you do not need them.

Don't forget to bring official copies of your transcripts!! I know I probably won't remember next week.
