  1. If your stem grades are better than your cumulative GPA you've got a decent chance of getting interviews at the Tri-I and WCM. SKI is competitive as hell. Being a Gates Scholar will help, As for your presentations, were they conference, or symposium at your school? School symposiums don't count for anything. Feel free to PM me for advice, i went through this cycle this past year with similar stats to yours and i'm going to be attending one of the programs you've mentioned. I say interview b/c that's the hardest part. Once you've got the interview your stats become irrelevant, the focus is on you being able to talk about why you feel the program is a good fit for you, and your past work. Being able to discuss your research in depth and show that you understand it. if you've got a 4.0 but can't carry a conversation you're not getting in
  2. if you're serious about working with them, go for it.
  3. Pharmacology. I have a pdf from my program coordinator (sent on the 12th) that's titled "schedule.pdf" but it doesn't have the details of who i'm meeting with.
  4. Weill Cornell people,did you get your interview schedule yet? I was told that wed get a list of our faculty meetings by 15/01/16, but I haven't gotten anything yet.
  5. Heads up for those applying to stony brook. They normally don't interview if you're domestic (I'm from there). For the one or 2 people interested in the chemical biology program there, PM me about people that you'd be interested in working with and I can probably give you some inside info on them
  6. I actually live around the corner from my town's commuter rail station so getting to WCM isn't a big problem for me. My commute during UG was roughly 70-100 mins each way and i did that 5 days a week for 4 years, so spending roughly an hour getting to an interview isn't an issue in my mind. For the other school, asking for one night in the hotel was not a bad idea, maybe the commute isn't easy, schools have no way of knowing this. If they had a problem with providing you with a hotel room they should have said something. I'm assuming that this school won't play mind games along the order of "well let's see if they're being greedy by offering them accommodations that we don't believe they need."
  7. Hey, I'm (pharmacology) commuting too (though from slightly into Nassau county). I'm planning on leaving the movie a bit early, nice to know I won't be the only one.
  8. Are they covering your amtrak fare? I'm planning om commuting from home each day via commuter rail and was wondering if they'd cover me?
  9. okay, I had also heard January so I was getting a bit worried.
  10. Have all of the scripps invites gone out? Also, does anyone know when the integrated program at Columbia will get back to us?
