Ssynny, I feel like I am in the same boat with you. So far the only news I have gotten is bad news and waiting to hear back from the rest of my schools is giving me a stomach ulcer. I just keep trying to remind myself that sometimes things work out at the very last minute right as it starts to seem hopeless and more importantly not going to grad school next year doesn't mean not going to grad school ever.

I think that it all really depends on the school and some of it seems sort of random at times. Different committees emphasize different components of the app, so I think that to a lot of schools your research experience may really mean the most to them. However, I can't say I know anything about the chances of getting in if you don't meet the minimum requirements. I do think that it's a really good thing that you have been in contact with that professor though because if they are willing to stand up for you in the committee meeting then that might make all the difference.

Hey Guys! I just wondered if anyone else out there is also anxiously waiting for a decision from UCLA BMB? I interviewed there in January and I still haven't heard anything and I'm starting to lose my mind!
