Bay Area and Boston are unparalleled. Seattle too, maybe, but they only have UW. Industry in the former two cities is really strong as well as the large number of universities with strong bioinformatics focus.
@ballwera In my experience you can simply email the program coordinator and they will let you know if they've made a decision, even if your app is not updated.
