6 min ago on NDSEG twitter (9:21 AM EST, Friday April 1): The Award Notification process has begun! Please note that e-mail announcements will be sent throughout today. Thank you for your patience! EDIT: Post disappeared as of 9:30 AM EST ! Some kind of April Fool's joke or premature social media post :(? Now (9:36) it says : The NDSEG Program Team expects award announcements to be issued today. Please stay tuned for updates & thank you for your patience.

Just chiming in... also waiting to hear

Talking to a previous Chemistry Department Chair, I learned that an M.S. usually does not waive classes for a Ph.D. Talking to a doctoral candidate in biochemistry, I learned that his M.S. did little for his Ph.D. education. I do find it conceivable to finish a Ph.D. earlier if you work in the same lab, and have your research going on for a few years, then you may publish sooner.

I appreciate any input, and thanks in advance. Entering last year: Chemistry, B.S. at UCLA with minor in biomedical research Cumulative GPA: 3.754 Major GPA (Upper division, chem dept.): 3.9+ GRE general/subject: have not taken yet Research experience: 2 years in biochemistry lab, will lead up to a thesis Summer at Caltech in Division of Biology (Amgen Scholar) Awards: Amgen Scholar Fellowship NIH UGSP Scholarship A smattering of other college and departmental scholarships/award Work experience: Worked in an HHMI research lab Activities: Leadership (president, etc.) in science-related student organization No publications, but a few poster conferences --- I want to know your opinion on my chances into Biochemistry/Molecular Biology PhD programs at schools such as - Harvard - MIT - Yale - Columbia - Caltech - NYU and what kind of GRE scores would put me in a good position to apply. Thanks
