I interviewed at Vanderbilt this past weekend too, and if you're from West Viriginia then we definitely met. This is what I was told too. I was wondering if anyone had their application put on hold instead of being waitlisted?

Just received a call from Weill Cornell!! ...to tell me I accidentally sent my transcript request to them instead of the college it was supposed to go to. *sigh*

Undergrad Institution: Small engineering state school in the midwest Major: Biochemical Engineering 2nd Major: Biological Sciences GPA in Major: Unsure Overall GPA: 3.93 Type of Student: Domestic white male GRE Scores (revised) Q: 163 (87%) V: 159 (81%) W: 4.0 (54% ahhhhh) B: N/A Research Experience: Very little. Some research experience in the chemical industry for 1 summer, nothing substantial. Worked as a laboratory assistant in a cDNA cloning laboratory for a year, which was molecular biology intensive. Researched 1 summer at a small pharmaceuticals company in their formulations department, presented a poster and received 1st place out of all the interns. Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Basically just that 1st place poster... some scholarships. Special Bonus Points: Hopefully the engineering background adds something special to the mix... OR it could just end up hurting me. Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: The research in biomedical sciences at my school is incredibly lacking.. One of my recommenders is the department chair and also my advisor. The others are my mentors at the pharma company and cDNA resource center, but I think overall my recommendations are weak. Optimism at its finest. Applying to Where: WashU UIC UMich Vanderbilt Columbia NYU Weill Cornell SLU Brown Georgetown After reading all these posts, I definitely feel like I overshot!
