  1. Columbia Biological Sciences Wailtlist. The notification just came in today (and I haven't been interviewed yet). Should I still be optimistic about this?
  2. Hi! I am sorry for not phrasing it better before - I want to generate my own data and create pipelines to analyze it. But yes, I do realize that I see myself doing at least some benchwork. Thanks, again
  3. HI! Thanks for replying! The cost is quite high (as an Indian student), but things should work out. The course at GaTech is course based with an optional thesis, while the one at BU has a thesis requirement. In any case, I will pursue a project. Alumni from both have jobs or PhDs - so fingers crossed
  4. I'm a bit confused here. I've always wanted to work at the interface - generating my own data and then analyzing it (or something like this). Any more pearls of wisdom? And thanks
  5. So I got into the Bioinformatics Masters' programs in at Georgia Institute of Technology and Boston University. I also have an offer for the Biomedical and Molecular research Masters' program at King's College London. An advice on which program to choose? And I really hope this strengthens my PhD App in the future
  6. I sent an email to the MCB program coordinator at Stony Brook and got back this reply: "We will contact you soon as the committee completes their reviews of all the applicants." Does this mean I should expect a rejection?
  7. Hi! Just wondering if any of you've heard back from the BMCB program at Cornell. Thanks!
  8. Thanks a ton @biochemgirl67! Do they have any other interview weekends? Or just the one you're attending?
  9. Hi! Just wondering if any of you applied to the "Biology@Princeton" program and have heard back from them. Thanks!
  10. Are you talking about the Weill Cornell program or the Cornell BMCB program? I'd applied to the program at Cornell and haven't heard back yet :/
  11. I am overjoyed to see how much effort they put into rejecting me. Yay.
  12. Same. Is it just me or does the typo in the rejection letter makes it worse?
  13. You're not alone Hang in there. Things will get better (In the same boat. Hope is all I have - better to stay positive)
  14. Oh! Congrats Just wanted to know - is it customary for international applicants to get invited later? According to the survey, the Columbia program sent out invites in late Jan/Feb last year. Just wanted to confirm International applicant here, and I'm getting extremely nervous.
  15. Repost: Has anyone heard back from the Columbia Biological Sciences PhD or Cornell BMCB? Danke!
  16. Has anyone heard back from the Columbia Biological Science PhD program?
  17. Oh. Guess there's a rejection on the way for me. Anyway, thanks!
  18. Undergrad Institution: University of Delhi, India Major(s): Biotechnology Minor(s): GPA in Major: ~3.9/4.0 (We do not have a GPA system. I got this from the WES online calculator) Overall GPA: ~3.9/4 Position in Class: In the Top 2 (Unsure if I'm rank 1 or 2) Type of Student: International, male GRE Scores (revised/old version): Q: 162 V: 161 W: 4.0 B: Not taking TOEFL Total: Will take this week Research Experience: (At your school or elsewhere? What field? How much time? Any publications (Mth author out of N?) or conference talks etc...) 2 years research experience at the computational biology lab. Initially assisted a PhD scholar, then got an independent project. Publication under review (1st author). 2 months at a plant biotechnology lab in Taiwan. 3 months at a BSL3 facility (worked on anthrax) in my home city. Accepted to 1 conference (to be held in October) and attended 1 workshop while in Taiwan. Awards/Honors/Recognitions: (Within your school or outside?) Dean's merit list awardee One of the top 100 teams in the Shell Ideas360 Challenge (out of 1000+ teams worldwide) Acknowledged in the Research paper written by the PhD scholar. Pertinent Activities or Jobs: (Such as tutor, TA, SPS officer etc...) Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: Special Bonus Points: (Such as connections, grad classes, famous recommenders, female or minority status etc...) My PI when I worked with anthrax is one of the best in the world in his field. Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: Applying to Where: Research interest - looking for an integrative approach between computational and hands-on methods. Schools for Computational biology courses: MIT (we all dream!) Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL) UCLA UCSF (TETRAD) CMU Boston University For Biology/Mol Biology courses Columbia U Cornell - BCMB UPenn Integrative Biology UCB I really need to cut down on the Uni list (and add realistic ones!) Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
