  1. Great! My email address is : wangzc921@gmail.com What's yours? I look forward to meet you there!
  2. Hi, I just decided to go to Mount Sinaiļ¼
  3. Thank you so much. I think I'll have to consider those issues concerning co-mentoring thing. I'll talk with the PIs that I would like to choose as co-mentors. Maybe learning some techniques from other labs are helpful enough so that I don't have to choose the other PI as mentor.
  4. Hi, first, thank you so much for the suggestions. I went to Mount Sinai for the interview on Jan. 17-18, when did you go for interview there? Maybe we have met each other there. I am not going to the revisit since the traffic fare for me is so expensive (I live in Beijing, China). But it is so true that Manhattan is a fantastic place to live and I love there so much, though I have been there only once for the interview in Mount Sinai and NYU. Sometime I even doubt whether it is because of NYC that I want to go to Mount Sinai. As for my decision, I have been contacting the PIs from both schools to know their suggestions. You are going to the revisit next week right? Would you please tell me what do you think is great about Mount Sinai you see during the revisit? Maybe we are gonna be classmate. My email address is wangzc921@gmail.com.
  5. Hi, Suley, I went for the interview of Mount SInai on Jan. 17-18 and got acceptance on that weekend.
  6. Hi all, I have been considering this for a long time and still wondering where to go for graduate school. I narrowed down my choices between BIMS@UVa (biochemistry and molecular genetics track) and Biomedical Scicences@Mount Sinai School of Medicine (genetics and genomic science). Both schools have almost equal number of faculty that I want to work with. I am interested in epigenetics. It seems that UVa has a tradition of researching epigenetics and many excellent professors are studying it while Mount Sinai, although has a couple of PIs researching epigenetics, their stem cells and cancer biology are more powerful. But I think it is not bad to study epigenetic problems in stem cells since Mount Sinai allow graduate student to have two mentors. Both schools have good publications, fundings and graduate students trying to convince me that their program are great. As a result, I don't want to give up either. Although I am an international, I have been to both schools have some impression of what each schools is like. But I did not gather enough information for me to make up my mind about where to go. So I am asking for your suggestions. Any ideas are welcomed. Thank you very much in advance!
  7. Many thanks to kgumps2012 and obot. Good luck to you guys too. I have just received a phone interview from Stowers. Haven't seen anyone here applied to Stowers. I think it is a fantastic institute to do research and many top-leveled PIs.
  8. Undergrad Institution: Not so top in China Major(s): B.S. Biology GPA in Major: 3.85 Overall GPA: 3.80 Type of Student: International, top 10% class. GRE Scores (old version): Q: 800 V: 630 W: 4.0 Research Experience: 3 Years. 2 years in plant developmental biology with n-th author publication in a plant biology journal. 1 year in biochemistry, sort of epigenetics. Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Got nothing to be proud of... Applying to Where: Mainly MCB and Biomedical Sciences UPenn BGG UNC-BBSP UVa-BIMS MSSM-PhD KUMC-IGPBS NYU-Sackler SUNY-SB-MCB UMassMed Stowers BCM-Biochem WUStL-DBBS-MCB IU-MCDB Penn State-CDB Updates- Interviews: MSSM, UVa and WUStL. You guys scare me... As a not-so-top international, I think you all deserve offers from top institutions. Leave some offers for me, cheers. lol
