I'm a little late to this thread, but Everlane makes great backpacks/totes: https://www.everlane.com/collections/womens-backpacks I have a weekender bag and love it, and I'm considering a zip tote as an alternative to my worn out Longchamp. Their stuff is really sturdy and really affordable. And, a lot cuter than your traditional backpack. Also, Longchamp for sure. A little pricy, but will last you for years and folds into a nice little square.

Congrats to you as well! Not yet, but I'm hoping to hear in the next few weeks.

Hi all... also got into UNC for epi PhD. I'm actually surprised to hear everyone has such dim funding expectations. I've only really talked to UNC, but I'm not too worried. I specifically am going into pharmacoepi and those programs have more money, given the usual industry sponsorship. I had a call with the PE faculty at UNC this week and was told nearly all current PE students have full funding, but that they also have more funding that other epi groups at UNC. I've been told numerous times by colleagues with PhDs not to bother going until you have reasonable funding, and that often if you don't get a great offer your first year, you will find more opportunities for funding once you are there. Also waiting on Harvard, but am happy enough with UNC I almost don't care!
