E/E VG/VG G/G Awarded. I think I got a bump from interdisciplinary.

Yea Oregon and Florida gulf coast messed me up. Duke is my only final four pick still alive.

I didn't, but its looking good so far. I'd like to see IU get kicked off the bracket before Michigan.

I've the past two weeks of compulsively checking fastlane. Now its gone and life seems somewhat empty.

They didn't tell me the day, just that I should have all my materials in by tuesday so they can be assigned to a faculty member. I'd imagine they'd be meeting today or tomorrow. I don't know what the turn around would be, I'm expecting to hear back next week if I'm lucky. I know MIT biology sent out emails the next day.

I spoke with the coordinator for MIT BCS. He said the ADCOM will be meeting towards the end of January and invitations for interviews will be sent out in early February. The interviews should be sometime in March. Cheers

I got a rejection from UCSF neuro today. I didn't submit the recommended subject exam, so its not a complete surprise.

To those who applied to MIT CSBi. I spoke with the director of the program and he said that the admissions committee is meeting next week.

Congrats to those with interviews already I got a my first call from Michigan's neuroscience program this morning.
