Is UCSF iPQB all came out yet? I saw two people already received admits..

[SysBio/CompBio Berkeley vs Columbia vs UCSF vs UChicago]

Hi everyone,

I am mostly looking at four programs that accepted me in Computational Biology: Berkeley, UCSF, UChicago, Columbia

Never studied or interned at any of them before so I am hoping to know more about them outside the website~

I am most likely in academia, but I wonder for Computational Biology in general, which school might be a best fit, and what to avoid.

 

In general as far as I know:

Berkeley

great for bio and cs. young. in Bay. 

UCSF

top biomed. expensive but in Bay. less known in pan-science than biomed.

Columbia

young. great science. great city. not sure about biomed in general.

UChicago

great faculties and focus on edu. not sure about its biology within the country though.

 

Opinions? Thank you!

Sorry--if you haven't received an invite yet you're rejected. If you were invited and haven't heard yet, you're waitlisted/rejected. That's my understanding.

Thanks, fonifd. Sad to hear, but thanks for the clarification~ And congras to you!

I believe they sent out the first round of ~10 invites on Friday. I know of several applicants who also received offers. They did tell us at the interview that they are trying to not over yield and they will accept a fair amount of people off the waitlist. 

 

Do you mean there might be another round of interview invite for BIG? I wonder are those people on the waitlist, are they already interviewed but not receiving acceptance yet, or those who haven't received interview invites~ Thanks!

Got an email from MIT CSBi offering an interview for the next weekend !!!???

Do not lose your hope too early guys. I guess there is indeed a waiting list.

 

Congras man! Did you get a CSBi rejection email earlier, then this email for invitation?

They have sent out first round invitation last week. No idea how many they will take.

Thanks, Henry! I assume Princeton QCB also has way past their initial screening?

Anyone hear back from Brown University's Computational Biology? I heard they have very few slots. Not sure where the admissions is at now.
