I got an invitation to the grad student visiting weekend at the UCB/UCSF joint bioengineering program a fewwww weeks ago (hooray!) but since the weekend's coming up in a few weeks. I've heard all sorts of things about interview weekends and recruiting weekends, from "you're in!" to "it's a gladiatorial deathmatch, complete with tigers." And I'm allergic to cats. Does anyone here (especially people familiar with UCB program :<) have any advice, insight, or otherwise helpful things to add?
