congrats! Me too! I see in your signature you got Caltech geobiology acceptance, (congrats again!) when did you hear back and how did you hear back (from your POI or admin, email/phone)?
Thank you, and congratulations to you as well! I think I will see you during Harvard OEB/MIT Micro/Scripps interviews--seems like we have very similar interests! heard back yesterday from the grad options rep by phone.

Undergrad Institution: Top 5 Liberal Arts College
Major(s): Biology and Mathematics
Minor(s): N/A
GPA in Major: 4.0
Overall GPA: 4.0
Position in Class: 1/~500
Type of Student: International male
GRE Scores (revised/old version):
Q: 170
V: 160
W: 5.5Research Experience:
- 1.5 years of microbial evolution (computational) at school. Finalizing analyses right now
- 2 years of systems biology (computational) starting in summer 2017 but continued the research remotely. First-author publication under review
- 1.5 years of evolutionary theory research somewhere else, but also continued remotely. First-author publication in prep
- Summer experience (experimental + computational) in a super famous lab in microbial evolutionary genetics
LORs
Got to read one of mine--really good. People from a summer program admissions at Princeton told me that my other two recommendations were extremely strong. Also got another one from the famous lab I worked in.
SOP
Not sure--included a specific potential research topic (might be a good or a bad thing)
Awards/Honors/Recognitions: (Within your school or outside?)
- Multiple fellowships and awards (~12 school-wide awards in total) from school- Summer fellowship
Pertinent Activities or Jobs: (Such as tutor, TA, SPS officer etc...)
- TA for 100-, 200-, and 300-level biology and math courses- Math tutor for college and high school students
Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help
I don't think so
Special Bonus Points: (Such as connections, grad classes, famous recommenders, female or minority status etc...):From an under-represented country in science , other related minority status too, and strong connection with two top grad programs I am applying to
Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: Straight from undergrad (don't know if it's good or bad either)
Applying to Where:Princeton EEB; Harvard, OEB; UChicago, Microbiology; MIT, Microbiology; MIT-WHOI Joint Program; Columbia, Biology; UCSD-Scripps; CSHL; Caltech, Geobiology; Stanford, Biology (could've applied to mid-tier programs, but most have VERY limited funding for international students sadly--I understand my chance is really slim and am quite freaking out right now).

I just got this reply from one of the faculty members I interviewed with and want to work with:
Hi [me],
great talking to you. I think you would be a great addition to the program.
Best,
[PI]
Does this mean anything???
