  1. Who are you interested in working with? Sjolander? Ian Holmes? Someone at UCSF? Or do you want to branch out to other areas?
  2. Yeah, you should be able to apply at the very beginning of your 2nd year.
  3. According to the advice that I read before I started on my app, they take broader impacts very seriously. This is separate from the impacts of your research.
  4. of course. My PI (MD/PhD UCSD, harvard postdoc) hadn't even heard of the NSF GRFP before this year when I applied.
  5. just confirming that the awardees list is legit, my name is on there i am an extreme case. i had 2 coauthor papers in high school and 1 first author paper in college... like i said, extreme. i know several people on the list who didn't have any publications in ugrad.
  6. i submitted to bioengineering
  7. Fellows Task List Accept/Decline Award (March 22, 2008 - August 13, 2008) she is not foolsing... i logged in to find this!
  8. She got accepted. Preview weekend is sometime in March.
  9. I have a friend who has already heard back from the Harvard bioengineering dept.
  10. yea, i posted those results for stanford, they informed me via email on feb 6, all travel arrangements had to be made before feb 11... sorry to be the bearer of bad news berkeley/UCSF, duke, cornell are also very good "brand names" too. of course, it all comes down to who has the PIs you want to work with... Given the choice of boston vs bay area, which would you guys choose (assuming the PIs at both institutions were equally good)? boston is colder, but the bay area is more expensive... also boston is more compact and imho tends to support cross-institutional collaborations better, but i haven't really spent a lot of time in the bay area. Any thoughts?
  11. I think it does, but not in the "name brand" way that you are implying. I got a 3.6 from a top 20 school. But I think the most important thing was that my school offered me a lot of opportunities to do research with really excellent PIs. In my mind, that access to good researchers is what helped out the most, not the "school name" + "3.6" statistic.
  12. Here's my status so far Interview: UCSF/UCB, Stanford Presumably rejected: MIT (I haven't heard anything from them)
