Hello, I'm more neuroinformatics/biomedical informatics/idk anymore, but would love some advice on if neuroscience programs make sense. Degree- Double Major in Biomedical Engineering and Comp. Sci. from Georgia Tech Research- I did 5 semesters of undergraduate research, I had a chance to do an REU at a prestigious biomedical informatics program over the summer, and I will have done 2 years of a postbac at the NIH. Publications- Unfortunately, mostly just abstracts. I have 3 abstracts posted on my Google Scholar, and 1 that apparently is in a conference but isn't listed. I am first author on two of them. I also won a competition that got a paper published, but im essentially 20th author out of 25 authors. Extracurriculars- I did industry work for about a year as a software engineer, became a postbac where I helped organize a lot of the postbac activities. GRE- all above the 90th percentile. Awards- Cum Laude graduation, Stephen Brossette Scholarship, and won a Parkinson's disease competition once LORs- Three research mentors My main issue is I want to continue work on applying neuroinformatics, and statistical analyses onto neurological data, but computational neuroscience seems to be a completely different thing than what I should look to apply to (I really am not interested in the theoretical activations of systems of neurons). I'm planning on applying to: UChicago: Medical Physics program, seems they have a lot of MRI informatics work NIH-GPP for Brown Neuroscience: Would love a chance to continue work at NIH, plus the Brown program looks really good Harvard BBS+BIG: I think I am interested in some of their neuroinformatics labs... also I kinda ogle at the Harvard name MIT Comp Sci: A lot of MRI informatics professors were telling me to look into this Emory Biomedical Engineering: TRenDS MRI data science initiative involving GSU, EMORY, GT Georgia Tech CompSci: Some professors do functional connectomics from a very graph theory heavy POV... also TRenDS GSU CompSci: TRenDS MRI data science initiative involving GSU, EMORY, GT UPitt DBMI/Neuroscience: They have a lot of cross-collaboration, but also not sure I want to live in Pittsburgh for 5 years USC: LONI is located here, is massive for neuroinformatics UCBerkely/UCSF: The bioengineering program here has a lot of MRI informatics stuf UPenn Bioengineering: I'm interested in the CBICA program here. I legitimately don't know whether I should include more neuroscience or add more schools to my list. Also, should I include more safety schools?

Is there any info on when the last batch of admissions from Harvard BIG will go out this year?

Same scenario, in biomedical informatics. God I hate waiting for an acceptance .. after having gotten only rejections so far
