Although I am waiting on 3 more schools, I have decided to commit to Mount Sinai. Couldn't be happier! So glad this cycle is over! It's funny how things work out for the best. Congrats to everyone who has been accepted and to those who have made their decisions!

I'll be there also. I'm coming from California too (Los Angeles). I was also confused about lodging since I didn't get a reply from the email I sent by the deadline. I emailed the admin and she said they had me down for lodging and that the hotel contact info was on the schedule that was sent out. I guess we show up at the hotel and check-in? Still not sure how it works. Nonetheless I'm really excited! I've been counting down the days, it's my dream school! 
 
I believe there are two more interviews sessions after this. I received my invite about a month before the interview. 

It really is unfortunate, but true. I get a lot of mixed reviews from professors. Some say that the GRE can be a deal breaker and some say that they don't even look at GRE scores when they review an application. This is coming from professors at top research universities. It really is a bummer. I have specialized training in the field of stem cell biology through a fully funded internship and staff position. I have presented 4 posters and done 3 oral presentations. I'm about to finish my Master's program with a 4.0; will be defending my thesis in February. Currently preparing two manuscripts for publication. All my thesis work was done at a top research university. My numbers might not be stellar, but it really doesn't say anything about my abilities. I'm not the best with multiple choice test, I'd rather be able to explain my train of thought through essay based questions. I wish there were other ways to "test" our abilities. Ok, rant over. GRE looks to be important, but not a deciding factor. Happy holidays, everyone!
