I've been reading this topic for a while now and I haven't uploaded my stats. 'Bout time I guess considering this whole process is just about over. Undergrad Institution: Ohio State University Majors: Microbiology (BS) and Chemistry (BA) GPA: 3.9 GRE: 161 V, 165 Q, 5.0 Writing -Two-ish years in a Virology lab (no pubs, abstracts, etc.) Applied: OSU, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, University of Washington, Wisc-Madison, UChicago, Upenn, UMich, Duke, UNC-Chapel Hill, Case Western, UPitt, Washington University is St. Louis Rejected: Stanford, UMIch Interview: OSU (declined), Harvard, Yale (declined), UW, Wisc-Madison, Uchicago (declined), Upenn, Duke, UNC-Chapel Hill (declined), Case Western (declined), Upitt, WashU Waitlisted: Harvard (It's been about 2 months since interview and haven't heard anything so I assume waitlisted) , WashU Accepted: UW, Wisc-Madison, Upenn, Duke, Upitt -I will be attending Duke University to pursue graduate studies in the Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology!

I'm also interested in Virology and I have just finished going through the whole "grad school process". I would say that the strongest programs for Virology that I came across (or at least that interested me the most) were (these aren't in any order): 1. Harvard-Virology 2. Upenn- MVP 3. Pitt- MVM 4. WashU- Microbiology 5. Wisc Madison- MDTP 6. Duke - MGM There are of course others but for my interests these programs really nailed it. I also believe they are all what you would consider "top tier" as far as their reputation in the field of microbiology. Quick plug, I will be attending Duke University in the Molecular Genetics and Microbiology program. If you are interested in vaccines or viral immunology you can't go wrong with Duke.
