Hi anyone planning on applying for Stanford Biosciences 2022 round? 

Looking for some comrades!

Hi, have you started preparing? and what home program are you looking at?

Hello,

I am currently looking at the following departments in the main 14:

Biochemistry
Structural Biology

Outside of the main 14 programs, I am also looking at bioengineering.

I am trying to go for de novo protein design. Currently, I am still compiling all the schools I will apply for based on PIs. Once that is done, I will being work on writing personal statements/statement of purposes based on all the different schools requirements.

I'm hoping to apply for Neuroscience. Glad to find a group of others!

Hi. I just learned about this website and think it is so useful!

I am interested in the chemical and systems biology program and structural biology programs. I want to do drug development from the biochemical perspective.

I have spent this summer searching for the right type of programs with PI's that fit my interest. I am about to start the hard part and actually prepare my applications.

Hi! I'll be applying in Ecology, reached out to a faculty and found out they aren't taking students next year, but they said they'd be happy to co-advise so that's something not negative I guess.

Can anybody chime in on how much the faculty can weigh in on during AdCom in tracks without lab rotations? I had been in conversation with a faculty who was in his words rather impressed and very excited about the ideas I pitched them, they even went on to say they'll do everything in their power to get me into the program. I would've been confident after their commitment if I didn't have the profile I do, but all my research experience only has a conceptual overlap with what I'd like to do during grad school due to the field being so small in my country that there just weren't people working in what I was interested in.

Hi,

Stanford Biosciences has an informative zoom meeting this Thursday (October 28th) at 10am-12pm (Pacific Time). I am guessing they will talk about the program and application.

I thought this information would be good to share here! I found this on their twitter page. They have a link to register there. It looks like some of the home programs also have sperate more specific meetings at other days/times too.

Did anyone in this chat interview last week? I am hoping to hear back and just wondering when the first acceptances will roll out... I think soon
