Yup got an email from Cal on the 19th, Ive applied to bioengineering or biomedical engineering (depending on what they call it) at Cal, Caltech, Harvard, Stanford, Duke and Johns Hopkins. I must admit out of the 5 profs I emailed only 2 responded, but those 2 were positive about looking out for my app. The worst that can happen is that the email is deleted right?? I think Cal responds unusually early as far as engineering schools are concerned, I don't expect the others to reply at least until the end of the week - so hold on! Yeah I wonder if their meet and greet weekends involve formal interviews? Or maybe theyre just to check that the social skills are there before the stamp of approval is applied (hopefully?!)
