  1. What did you screw up question wise?

    Columbia, SC

    Hey, 1500 is def. doable in Columbia. It is very hot there in the summer and the campus is pretty hilly, there is a ton of housing within a mile or two of campus, which is where you'll most likely live. I was an undergrad there for a year, so I can't really speak to where grad students hang out. Things to check out: the Fall is super fun there, starts cooling down and the football games are great. I'm not even really into sports but there is nothing like tailgating/the atmosphere at the games. There is also a decent music scene and the campus radio station is really really awesome.
  3. I'm going with this, your answer is what I am leaning towards. I've emailed one person so far, and received a quick response, and a confirmation that I will be meeting with them. None of the schools I am interviewing at specifically advised against it. thanks everyone
  4. Hey, So most interview weekends are asking for a short list of faculty that you want to meet with. Is it a good/bad idea to email these people with an introduction/to let them know you listed them as people to meet with? I was thinking a short "Hi I'm____, small intro about me, I requested you as faculty to meet with, short this why I did that, thank you"
  5. Phew, thanks meioticmadness, yeah IQ bio is 16-18 and there should be a CU MCDB interview later than that.
  6. Hey charmquarkz! I applied to the IQ Bio program with MCDB as my primary dept. of interest. I think they started reviewing after the new year. Do you know MCDB's interview dates by any chance? I know I can't make IQ bio's (feb 16-18) so I'll probably go to an MCDB weekend.. if I get one
  7. Just heard back from Albert Einstein College of Medicine, so excited! I applied right on the deadline Dec. 15, I was feeling kind of hopeless about that one because I saw so many people had interviews already. Now I'm just waiting on CU-Boulder.. So happy rn
  8. yeah it is possibly the most important part of my whole application, my gpa from undergrad is right above a 3.... But my research is truly on point and exciting, getting a first author in a top tier journal this year. I hope so, the lady i spoke to didn't sound like she cared very much, hopefully he will get it in today, I'll give her a call back and tell her how much it means to me, she said they would be sending out interview invites at the end of this month... hopefully you are right. Thanks for the reply folks
  9. So my mentor from my masters degree did not submit my letter of rec to a program that was due on Jan 1st yet. I just called them and told them that I was contacting him ASAP to see why and to ask him to submit it. The grad admissions administrator told me that it is not a big deal, they are already reviewing and that everything is in already so not to worry about it. She said it was "okay" that only two were in, makes me really nervous. I still want him to submit it, my research is amazing, my grades are OK.. this could make a big difference. Do you think they will even look at it if they receive it almost two weeks late?
  10. So the programs you are looking at want you to apply for specific labs? Where are you applying? What was your major?
  11. same. it doesn't seem like any gradcafe folks have heard back from there
  12. Anyone know when CU-Boulder will invite people for interviews? I applied to the IQ Biology Program, I just got an interview to CWRU/lerner institute for molecular medicine, but IQ bio is my top choice. I have to let CWRU know tomorrow about their interview weekend (Feb 16-18). Problem is the IQ Bio interview weekend is also Feb 16-18..
