  1. I applied, but I didn't get the interview, so I'm afraid I'm not much help there lol! It's getting a little stressful lol! I have no idea which side of the country I'm going to end up on or even about when I would start grad school.
  2. Lincoln Park is fairly pricey but very nice... I would look into Edgewater (the most affordable, off the red line), Lakeview (lots of bars) or perhaps Andersonville, although Lakeview and Andersonville are more expensive, they are fun. I know a lot of DePaul students live in Uptown (but personally I'm not as big of a fan of Uptown - a little less safe).
  3. On the whole did-people-hear back bandwagon, did everyone hear back from Stanford BMI? I still haven't heard anything back, so I am a little confused...
  4. Hmm. Uptown isn't too bad, but is a little sketchy. I live right north of it in Edgewater. If you're going to UIC - Uptown is going to be a pain in the ass without a car (you'll have to take the red line into the loop and the blue line west). If you're looking for a hip area that's easy to get to UIC, I would pick Logan Square or Wicker Park (but they are a little on the pricier side). I've been living in Chicago for most of my life, so if you have any questions - let me know =)
  5. Never mind- saw on the results database. Will be an interesting week - the first round may go out soon then.
  6. Hmm. For bmi or for biology? I saw someone on the biology forum say they were accepted- is that the same for bmi?
  7. Accepted to Yale CBB :). The rest of the programs should be going out now
  8. Accepted to Columbia University - Biomedical Informatics =)
  9. I went to UChicago and Northwestern, both of which have 3 weekends. Got accepted after the first one - but I think it depends on the school.
  10. Accepted to University of Chicago- GGSB, Computational Track
  11. Accepted at Northwestern DGP- Biomedical Informatics Track.
  12. Acceptance to report! University of Washington- biomedical informatics!
  13. Hah. There you go. You'll be fine and be able to go to your interview. Only problem is, you may have to deal with a dick of a professor the rest of the semester... but... you get to interview!
  14. If you're invested in the interview- I would keep asking. It's not like something bad will happen to you because of it. But I would maybe super-carefully think about the way you phrase it and ask it.
  15. Best of luck. I know at my university, that's all it ever takes and problems are usually resolved. I hope they are for you as well.
  16. I agree that Stanford does not have a 100% yield - BUT - on their website for BMI, they advertise "a recent cycle" as "PhD: 135 applied, 7 admitted, 6 enrolled." So very high yield. Not sure from what cycle this is from, nor if this has changed heavily in the time since then nor how typical this is. Just saying it is super competitive and people are lucky to get admitted there, and, according to them, their yield is high.
  17. Called with invite to interview for BMI a week and a half ago. Email invitation received around a week ago. Logistical email from umbrella (Molecular Biosciences Program) end of last week.
  18. For travel arrangements and such from Molecular Biosciences? Yep =). I head back maybe Thursday last week? The original invitation was a week and a half ago.
  19. Now, I don't know your institution, but I would go to the CS department chair or Academic Dean and be like "Man, you guys are supposed to be giving me a future, not screwing it up". Maybe in slightly better terms than that, but yeah.
