ERR_Alpha, how did you know that they don't have your scores? Is there a check status page for Harvard? I don't even know whether they have mine... ):

Results search shows that a Princeton Molecular Bio interview went out today - and a Neuroscience one yesterday! Maybe all of Princeton bio is starting??

Congrats to whoever just got the Princeton Neuroscience invite!!! If you're around, I'd be curious to know whether you applied through Biology@Princeton or directly to Neuroscience.

Congrats immuno! To anyone with familiarity with WashU admissions: I submitted my application at like 4 am on the 2nd. Do you think that will impact admissions?

I'm an undergrad at a school with many top-tier programs, and the grad students with whom I've spoken say that they and most of their peers didn't have publications coming in. It seems pretty rare to have been published in undergrad, even at these top programs.

Congrats to the many people who got interviews today!!

Ditto, only one of my programs seems to have released any, and none since the application deadline... But I'm definitely getting antsy. Today was such a big day for decisions! Aahh. Is anyone else applying to Harvard Biophysics? I just realized that they don't interview. It'd be nice to have one more person to report when they get decisions! (For lurkers/others who don't know what I'm referring to when I say it was a big day for decisions: http://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/)

No, I didn't apply to Cornell Biophysics (could never live in Ithaca -- too cold!). Sorry ): FYI to anyone who's interested: I just got an email from Berkeley biophysics confirming that my application is complete. (It said 'complete' on the website a few days ago, so I guess they've just compiled them for review? idk.)

Did anyone apply to Duke Cognitive Neuroscience? If so, any idea when we might hear back?

ERR_Alpha, did you apply to Harvard Biophysics and/or Princeton QCB? Just wanted to say hi, as I think there aren't that many biophysics applicants around and it's nice to see someone else Good luck and don't be too bummed out by the Cornell thing - I think monochrome spring might be right in saying that they didn't "reject" you so much as move your application to where they thought it would fit best!

I had a dream last night that I got a rejection from Stanford. I think I'm thinking about this a little too much... ahh

Congrats, username!!

I have no idea. Just saw it on the results page: http://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/ (How did you find out that the committee doesn't meet until after Jan. 1st? I applied to Harvard, though not BBS)

Congrats to whoever just got the Harvard BBS interview, if you're reading

Just realized I haven't actually posted my stats here (I've been lurking + on collegeconfidential... but this place seems nicer ) Undergrad Institution: Top 5 research (ivy) Major(s): Molecular and Cellular Biology Minor(s): Philosophy GPA in Major: 3.7 Overall GPA: 3.8 Position in Class: Probably between 10 - 15% Type of Student: Domestic female GRE Scores (revised version): Q: 91% V: 98% W: 99% Biochem: 92% Research Experience: ~2 years in an HHMI genetics lab. No publications ? Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Nothing, really. Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Tutored genetics and multivariable calc. Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: None, I don't think. Applying to Where: Harvard Biophysics MIT Biology Berkeley Biophysics Caltech Biology WashU Biology Stanford Genetics Princeton Quant & Comp Biology (via Biology@Princeton) I submitted all of my apps like two days ago. Waiting sucks ?

Thanks, njoymusic2 and biotechie (:

I sent my GRE scores to on the 22nd and applied on the 1st, but they claim that they don't have them, even though they have updated my status to indicate that they received my official transcripts. Should I wait longer? The deadline for the program isn't until January, so I'm not too worried - just curious.

I've only taken 6 or 7 actual biology courses, and I'm a Molecular and Cellular Biology concentrator (most of my degree reqs were math/physics/chem). I wouldn't worry about that too much. Not sure about the subject GRE. Just wanted to chime in with this.

Yes I did! That's what they replied to. Sorry, that wasn't clear

Nevermind, they just fixed it and sent out an email (: Thanks for the reassurance, Orims. I may have been a little dramatic I want to get all of these over with so much!!

Hey all, I'm kind of freaking out. I tried to finalize and submit my Stanford application, but the website isn't working for me -- I keep getting an "internal server error," and it takes ten minutes or so of loading to even get that. Is this happening to anyone else? The deadline is really soon... Can't believe their website goes down NOW :/ Thanks!
