Hey Frosty .........i think you are the same person who added comment on one of the "UPENN ADMIT" thread on Edulix forum (under Result 2011 sub forum) Yeah I am following gradecafe too ....so that i could know how many people really made their decision for Upenn Biotech. (I am repeating my comment as same as on the Edulix forum) ....... .....I am glad to know about your admits ....n yes congo........ I also received admit from Northwestern University & 2 weeks around received questionnaire from the Penn state officials (so hoping to get admit from this one also)...... I have also initiated the I-20 formalities with Upenn .....just managing to get the mandatory financial documents and stuff ( with in two weeks ill upload the documents) I was facing severe dilemma problem with Northwestern , Upenn & Penn State....coz these 3 carries same reputation and credibility ....however, .becoz of the following attributes finalized on Upenn :- Assistanship opportunities Professors over all standing in Biotech realm Philly the living habitat Internship platforms (being the biotech hub after San Fransisco, Boston) Besides this, i wanted to know that :- I heard from many seniors that there is no well defined placement cell for inviting companies for Biotech students . So, student's majority depends/rely on open job fair seminars ......According to YOU - How this trend really matters for Masters Students after completing Biotech. as their major ........ And at last ....When and by which means You received admit from Penn State...coz i am waiting to hear from them for more than 2 weeks after the submission of long Questionnaire ....... Really looking forward and waiting to hear from YOU Cheers
