Got an interview at University of Chicago - Genetics, Genomics, Systems Biology . They said they would reach out in the next few days and schedule an interview.

I applied to Northwestern DGP as well - Biomedical Informatics track! Best of luck!
-
Me too lol! But I only applied BMI. Good luck! =)

Haha! Hey there! I might be able to help - but I need a little more info on what exact data you have and what are you trying to do! =). Are you trying to make a tree to see which set of genes are in each organism? Or...?

Thanks man =). Best of luck to you as well. Let us all know how the applications/interview play out here =) I know right?!? I figured it was about time to start something for comp-bio. The anticipation is real.

Haha. I guess the question lies in whether you want to pursue more computational biology/bioinformatics or translational bioinformatics. I've been leaning towards more translational work for a while now (coming from a largely bacterial genomics background). U Washington is reliably one of the top programs in the country (generally) for bioinformatics and for BMI. They have a strong Precision Medicine group that is of interest to me. Duke was more of a, hey, why not? sort of school that I felt like I would have a decent chance of acceptance. I'm from the midwest, so not a southerner. Vanderbilt actually has a super strong biomedical informatics program and a lot of faculty are moving there from other universities (they sequence a lot of genomes in their hospitals and have a giant databank, not to mention are getting some killer money right now). One of the professors I know has connections there and strongly recommends their program (she's from Stanford originally though). Just saw a great talk from one of their professors at a conference a week ago as well. Berkeley - I agree. What I found interesting is more on the bioengineering side... *shrugs* I was throwing around Princeton/UCSF, but my PI told me to just stop, because at that point I think I was just applying out of stress. They have a lot of strong faculty who use a lot of machine learning and different computational techniques - that sounded cool to me. MIT - didn't because I didn't think I would swing it (I felt like I was already aiming high with Harvard and Stanford). So yeah! ?

Hey all! Just thought we should start a thread for Comp Bio/Bioinformatics/Biomedical Informatics to track all of the programs and what's going on and stop us from hunting everywhere for news! =). I applied to 12 schools and the only one I have heard back from, so far, is Duke Computational Biology/Bioinformatics - interviews Feb 9-12 or Feb 19-20.
