I just called, the lady was really nice. "The only date we have heard is April 15th, but it's not 100%." Good luck y'all.

Yeah, BU BME. Get a good broker. For Boston, I would absolutely do it, and make sure you get a cool one (a lot of the brokers are just college grads who didn't want to leave Boston and know super cheap places for you to stay, if you are persistent). I trusted my instinct and after putting up with a little bs, I cracked her and now she's very straight-forward with me with the good and the bad (at least as much as she can be for a broker). Make sure when they ask the fatal question "What's your budget range?", always give $200 less than you would be willing to pay. I went though a lot of "top" of my budget apartments before I finally convinced her otherwise. Good luck.

MEMP results via Website? What website if you don't mind me asking? I still haven't heard anything yet. Thank you.

Awesome, thanks for the advice. I will do that then.

So, I've applied to a bunch of places, but I've finally decided what school and what lab I would really like to work at (Boston University, Biomedical Engineering). So, I've recently found out that my old boss's boss (at a national lab) was the doctoral adviser for the POI of that lab. And he even offered to call her up and recommend me. I feel like this is a pretty unique opportunity, yet for some reason, my stomach kind of lurches when I think about asking him to follow up on that. Maybe this whole waiting thing has made me crazy, but I can't help but feel that she might think I'm trying to force my way in or something. I already have it on my application that I worked for him and I've already contacted her a while ago saying I was very interested in her work (we did a little back and forth). Should I have him call too? Should I wait a bit longer? My apologies if I sound ridiculous. This is just all getting to my head. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
