computationaldd

Hi! I'm about to die rn since some of my top schools started sending out invites...but not rejections yet (I guess I should be thankful for that ?)

I applied to MIT/UCSD too - best of luck to both of us on those!

Hi all! Getting nervous as UCSF and UCSD interview invites are starting to come out, and my PI of 3 years submitted his recommendation letter quite late (apparently he wanted to comment that I performed well in a very difficult class I took with him this quarter, but still..?) Thus far, I have applied to: UCSF CCB (Chemistry & Chemical Biology) UCSD BMS (Biomedical Sciences) UCB Chemistry MIT CSB (Computational & Systems Biology) MIT BE (Bioengineering) Scripps Research Institute UW MCMP (Medicinal Chemistry & Molecular Pharmacology) Purdue IBMS (Interdisciplinary Biomedical Sciences) Penn State BME (Biomedical Engineering) Their deadline was extended to the 31st so not yet lol I am crossing my fingers for #1-7 but pretty confident I will receive good news from Purdue and Penn State, as I've already been flown out by them and spoken to the admissions staff members and a few potential FOIs. If anyone has any suggestions to additional programs I should be checking out, specifically for computational applications to drug design, please let me know! Brief summary of stats if anyone cares: GPA 3.8/4.0 @ Top 10 public school White F (not sure if I'm considered a "minority" but I've participated in several programs that serve underrepresented populations in graduate schools?) 2.5 yrs independent project (supervised by my PI, kinda) in computational chemistry with a 1st author paper (in prep), 3 mos summer research program in a neurosci lab, 3 mos (ongoing) primarily programming position in an environmental science group Long list of funding sources, related awards, etc. Lots of poster presentations at local conferences, one poster presentation (supported by a travel award) at ABRCMS Board member of ASBMB chapter
