Hi all,
I've been silently reading various posts on this forum for months and thought I would finally chip in.
Zjwah - I'm also interested in studying cancer (though from the angle of health services/policy) and UW is my first choice as well. The professors there were so responsive and nice (far and away the best responses I got from anyone I emailed). And the Fred Hutch is amazing.
I also just submitted my applications today! We'll see. It's strange to go from fretting about all the little details so not having anything to think about and just waiting.
Good luck to everyone!
