arseus Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Hey, i'm applying to watson school of biological sciences for their genetics program. But i haven't really heard people talk about it on discussion forums as they do about other universities. how does the program compare with the rest of the top-ranked programs out there? also, they give the applicant an option to apply to two programs at the stony brook university as well, as both schools share their programs with cold spring harbor. and they've asked for two separate statement for each. what should i do? should the two statements bear the same research interests or is it advisable for them to be different? Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance! Hello Arseus, Sorry if this reply is a little late to be helpful, but I spent a summer doing research at CSHL as an undergraduate and can personally vouch that it is an incredible place to do biology. It is small (8-12 grad students accepted a year) and you only know about it if you do biology, but within the biological community is is VERY well thought of. I graduated from an ivy league institution in biology, but I swear it has been even more valuable to my biology career to be linked to CSHL. If you did decide to apply and got an interview offer for February 18-21 I look forward to meeting you there.
NeuroNerd86 Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Tsujiru, I was actually wondering if you know - can the students admitted at SUNY Stony Brook do their research at Watson? I'm asking because on Stony Brook faculty page some PIs are listed under Cold Spring Harbor lab. Thanks! Tsujiru 1

I'm asking because on Stony Brook faculty page some PIs are listed under Cold Spring Harbor lab. Thanks! Yes, that is exactly how it works. Since the number of students admitted to the Watson School is typically so small, quite a number of the students doing their PhD's there are actually from Stony Brook. The only difference is in the coursework you do those first two years.

I'm waiting to hear from Stony Brook though....my research interests match their program better actually. I'm guessing you got an invite for the interview at CSHL...congrats!
letsdoneuro Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 anyone heard from them??? The wait is painful... At this point I'd rather someone tells me they've already sent out offers so I can save my energy for something else...
reverdy Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Their last interview weekend just ended today, so I wouldn't start to worry unless you don't hear anything by next weekend.
