I haven't heard anything either, if that makes you feel any better.

Me too, Bcell.

Thanks! That was just his recommendation. :/ I didn't take it, I didn't feel like it would be beneficial to hide something like that.

Unfortunately, this is true. I was an undergrad at Berkeley (now I volunteer in a lab there), and I have a pretty compelling personal story (have a genetic illness, got very sick, managed to get a 3.74 GPA even though I was in and out of the hospital all the time, finally stabilized and work in a lab now, dream is to study the illness I suffer from) and my lab mentor told me I should hide my illness because grad schools wouldn't want to take a chance on me.

Thanks, genesplicer. Nice to know I'm not alone.

I'm also waiting to hear back from Stanford.

Thanks, Bluebla. The waiting is killing me.

Hey everyone, This is my first post to the grad cafe. I've been trying not to go out of my mind. I've applied to nine programs, with one interview so far. I've been outright rejected by two, but haven't heard a peep from the others, even though it seems other people have started receiving their interview invitations. On the other hand, I've also heard others saying they were rejected, too. I was wondering how common it is for bioscience programs to have wait lists? Or should I just give up hope? Thanks!
