Ha, so did I apparently, I just haven't checked my mail in awhile. I wonder why they invite you to the recruitment through email and tell you that you've been accepted in a letter completely separately. Confusing. I guess I'll see you this weekend!
Haha, I suppose we will! I remember when I got the recruitment weekend email from UGA there was no mention of an interview so I kept wondering if I was completely in or not - I guess we have our answer! Looking forward to this weekend, any pressure's definitely off.

UGA Micro hasn't even had their recruitment weekend yet, when/how did you hear you were accepted?
I received an acceptance letter in the mail from the Graduate School at UGA about a week or so ago.

Hey all, very late to the show here but I just wanted to add my stats should future applicants search for information about the programs I've interviewed with/been accepted at

Research Experience:- Three years of research in a plant pathology lab, including one summer as an REU student; one manuscript in progress, will probably have enough data for a first author by the end of undergrad

To be honest I didn't consider my research experience to be terribly strong (especially relative to a lot of other applicants I've met) so I'm a little surprised at how well things have been going
