Just wanted to pick your brain since you interviewed at/got in to both They're both very different! I think they cater to very different students and the reason I applied to both is that I could see myself in either environment - either big or small. I'm happy to continue this conversation through pm. I'm still making my decision but I'm leaning toward one of the two due to my past educational experiences.

Did you get the acceptance today? I have heard nothing from NYU and no one has posted results on the survey so hope there is still a chance for me.

Just wanted to pick your brain since you interviewed at/got in to both As a person coming to do basic molecular mechanisms, I personally prefer Harvard BBS-- a number of outstanding PIs working on very fundamental stuffs: transcription, RNA splicing, DNA repair and translation. Counterintuitively I didn't find many labs doing the same things in MCO. I almost feel most labs in MCO are doing microbiology, neurosciences, bioinformatics and developmental biology. Two POIs (doing RNA biology) who interview me even told me that they would move to other places soon. You could rotate / do you thesis in any lab in Harvard (even in MIT) regardless of your home program. And I believe both programs provide 3-year funding. So I guess at the end it depends mainly on whether you like a big or a small program, and which program provides courses you like better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing to keep in mind about rotations at MCO, though, is that they require 2 of those rotations to be with MCO faculty, and that those rotations are fixed at 8 weeks in length. So if rotating in other areas is important to you, MCO is not the best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have no idea when they are having Skype interviews. If they don't answer your email, calling them is another option Hey, congrats on your decision. can you tell me what kind of questions they've asked you on the interview for MD Anderson?

ShewantsthePhD Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Hey guys, is it a huge no-no to email a school and ask for an update on admissions decisions? I interviewed at a school in the beginning of Feb., they emailed me mid-Feb. stating that "admissions offers will be made soon", and I have yet to hear back from them. It's been almost a month since they sent me that email. Is it better to just keep waiting it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegriffin Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Denied at Princeton MolBio. Not a big disappointment because I think we both saw that there was very little overlap between the interests of the PIs and my own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
