Haven't got mine either. Waiting...

Thats sad @ DirtyLabCoat. I'm sorry! Is it specific for IMP or any program at Weill? I applied to BCMB (allied program)

some one posted Einstein biomedical sciences Interview dates - Jan 30-31 or Feb 6-7. Boy that means If you are in, you should be hearing back from them soon or on wait-list for now.... They say, "Ignorance is bliss" !

Thank you for the reply@ cautiously_optimistic. I will definitely read those articles. I really appreciate it! I was bored waiting for my results for grad school applications. I have a background in Materials Engineering and I plan to do PhD in Biomedical Eng/Biomedical Sciences. So, I'm not planning on working on this area. I was engaging myself in quantum mechanics, genetics, economics specifically related to inflation and economic bubbles and so on to pass my time. So, my question was more out of curiousity and reading than anything more. In terms of genome mapping and market mapping subjects, I think it has tremendous potential. I had the opportunity to work in genome data and analyzing the datasets to make meaningful predictions of what is going on in a biological system. Within few days of getting my feet wet in the water, I could see the potential. Also, it is already used and implemented to predict and successfully discover what is happening in a system (like cancer, genetic diseases, etc). Having realized the complexity of the biological systems and achieving this accuracy in predictions, I thought this should give good advantage in economics as well.

Someone posted an interview for Einstein biomedical sciences. I am an international student already in US as well. It is normal. Wait till late jan or early feb.

I am officially starting to hate the weekends and holidays. Not likely to hear about my applications for another week. I am actually reading Quantum mechanics :| , watching Feynman's lectures, pondering about double slit mystery and furiously searching for something similar to gene mapping of economy.

Hi, I have a question to an economics major or perhaps computational grad student. I work in biology and hence my perspective is different. Perspective: You must have herd about Human Genome project and Genome mapping etc. Basically there are about 40,000 genes that regulate our body functions and whose misregulation leads to diseases. Question: 1. Is there a current understanding of lets say 40,000 companies and independent entities (government, profit and non-profit) identified in an economy (Lets say in USA to be country specific) and how they are perhaps related to each other. (Lets say, company A -is linked to Companies B-Z (agriculture for instance) however, company C (consulting firm in oil and gas) is only linked to company D, E and F and so on. ) 2. Is there is a huge interaction Mapping of a particular economy where u can predict WHAT IF you knock out COMPANY A -> how many companies are affected, and so on..? I do realize that such a prediction if existed, would perhaps predict the stock market and everybody would get rich. But, the complexity in biology is tremendously difficult, from measurement to standardization and further predictions based on existing model. However, it works! So, I cant imagine someone in economy/computational application in economy would have not conceived this. Thanks for listening to my rant

Congrats on your Weill Cornell admit. I applied to the BCMB allied program (cell and developmental biology). Let's see if they start sending that out too.

I applied to Cell & Developmental track as well. Good luck to us! I haven't seen any NYU - Sackler - Developmental genetics invites so far (or perhaps not mentioned). So far it has been neuroscience there too. Anybody else going to Penn state Hershey on Jan 9-11 for the interview?

Hi all, Came to know that Mount Sinai's committee will meet in early jan and start sending out invites by mid-Jan. Happy holiday

Between yesterday and today, 3 people have gotten interviews for NYU-sackler (results survey section). This should make a lot of us jump at every instant our smartfones buzz. Based on the extrapolation of last year results, Mount Sinai should have started out in December as well.

Thank you! that gives a good perspective. Will keep my fingers crossed!

Anybody here applied to Penn State University (Hershey campus). I got an interview there for Jan 9-11. My profile is here (scroll to bottom for update list):

When do they usually send out Umich interviews? I just got an interview with Penn state - Biomedical sciences (i have also applied to 5 biomed sciences for research focus in developmental biology, regenerative medicine and stem cells ). So far i had an interview with an amazing prof from clemson - bioengineering.
