imathew: If I may ask, how on earth did you get so many publications/abstracts after only 3.5 years of research experience?

I got a phone interview for the Gates (through my department at Cambridge) a few weeks ago, and have an in-person interview (through Gates) scheduled for the end of January.

Say, does anybody know of any opportunities in or nearby Cambridge for non-students? Especially opportunities within a medical environment (e.g. volunteering in a hospital), teaching (e.g. ESL teaching), or within the biological sciences? I'm trying to find career-relevant professional development activities for my spouse. Thanks!

Hey all! I just wanted to say howdy. Following this discussion is a great way to freak myself out, which is exactly what I need at this already very stressful time of my life! I don't feel comfortable sharing all my details, but here's the gist of it. Major(s): BS Math, BS Neuroscience Minor(s): Physics, Statistics GPA in Major: 4.0 Overall GPA: 3.99 Type of Student: Middle-class white male GRE Scores (revised): Q: 92% V: 95% W: 93% Research Experience: 4+ years in in five different labs, three publications in preparation, nothing published yet. Research abroad experience. Four UG research grants ranging from $2000-$5000. Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Two-year Goldwater, [another national UG research award] Letters: One from an administrator (who is also one of my PIs), one from a tenured PI, and one from my Neuro I professor. Any Miscellaneous info that Might Help: Very strong computer programming background. Very specific research interests (most schools don't have anyone studying it... my UG school certainly doesn't) Applying to Where: Madison Yale SUNY-SB UCSD Princeton JHU MIT
