I couldn't make it to the two dates they mentioned (I'm overseas) but they have a third date offered Feb 2-3 FYI Nope, midwest! Trying to move to NYC. Man I'm so nervous for all the schools I applied to because my GRE is sorta crap and my undergrad bio grades were iffy... but i have a ton of research experience. I'm hoping that brings me up!!
