  1. Does anyone know if Northwestern DGP has sent out all their invites?

    Which campus will you be at? If you will be at north campus you may want to check out the northwood apartments. There is a Kroger easily in walking distance, as well as a handful of other places to eat and random stores. It may be a little difficult to walk to other campuses from these apartments. However, north campus and all other campuses are connected by blue bus (totally free without a bus pass), and these buses come very frequently (every 5 minutes during the semesters I think), even in summer it is still quick, but a little bit slower. See this google maps link for an approximate area of the store and the apartments in question (south of said kroger). https://maps.google.com/maps?q=ann+arbor&hl=en&ll=42.303373,-83.705864&spn=0.015045,0.030556&sll=42.748946,-84.47619&sspn=0.239004,0.488892&hnear=Ann+Arbor,+Washtenaw,+Michigan&t=h&z=15 I don't know how much those apartments would cost with a roommate, but I have a friend who had a pretty positive experience living there.
  3. I know that northwestern DGP likes to send stuff in as they get it done, not in one wave, according to the results section. But most midwestern universities have been closed yesterday, and many are also closed today (NW included) due to the cold/snow/ice.
  4. It's for sure true, because they don't have to pay as much for you.
  5. Has anyone heard from UPenn CAMB cancer biology yet? I know I've seen some UPenn stuff, but I'm pretty sure each subsection has its own admissions committee.
  6. I hope I can get mine soon. I've decided to take the rejections in humility, so I am printing the emails out and posting them on my fridge.
  7. The midwestern university I am at is also closed tomorrow. I have a feeling that most are, because 4 of the "major" universities in my state are closed, and we were not even hit very hard by the snow and cold.
  8. I think that the scholarship will only really help you get accepted because the department won't have to cover your tuition, but after that it probably won't impact your life in one way or another. It is expected that nearly all biology Ph.D. programs will cover your tuition in full and give you a stipend, and this stipend would be about the same as the scholarship. So pretty much whether or not you actually utilize the scholarship, you will still get paid about the same.
  9. Best: Sloan Kettering replied to me next day every time I emailed them, so I think they're pretty great. Worst: I had no need to contact anyone else, so I guess I can't really say much here.
  10. I know immunology has sent their stuff out. I applied to cell/developmental and have not heard anything yet.
  11. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uUlOAyQsn4 Time to break out this video, it may help some others as well.
  12. And now that it is the new year, time to get some rejections.
