Stanford Biosciences hasn't had its admissions weekend yet. Thanks!! Stanford gave me a call and said I am accepted, as did UW and Caltech. Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I applied last year to Harvard and MIT and they rejected me. This year I just applied everywhere I can but I knew all along I wanted to go to Harvard or MIT - for Genomics those are the top 2 choices for most grad applicants. Good luck with everything!

Wait without the interview? And which program did you apply to at Yale? Yale just had it'd second weekend for BBS and they haven't given any admission offers yet (not as far as I know)! Just to clarify, did you apply to this cycle (Fall 2016 admissions) or the previous years cycle? Link to post Share on other sites

Microburritology 115 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Haha well I was worried for a minute, and had a feeling it was bs but didn't have the confidence to go ahead and call it out - Thanks! 56 minutes ago, immuno91 said: 95% certain it's b.s.

We were clearly told by the Dean that the decisions will be released the first week of March. But really though, why would you take the pains of creating a profile just to troll people?

Eigen 2,172 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Just tagging in, but I think people are way to quick on this forum to call "troll" when someone posts something at odd with what they've heard/been told. As a pre-emptive warning, if the thread devolves into people arguing over who is or is not a troll, I'll shut things down to give everyone a break to chill out.
