Today I accepted an offer of admission from the University of Michigan. I'm so relieved to have the application/interview process behind me and excited to start in the fall.

My final statuses:

• NCSU Bioinformatics - accepted
• U of Kentucky IBS - accepted
• U of Michigan PIBS - accepted (matriculating)
• Duke CBB - rejected
• Stanford BI - rejected
• UNC BSB - rejected
• UW Seattle Genome Sciences - rejected
• WashU CSB - rejected
• Harvard BIG - still haven't heard, but almost definitely rejected

I aimed high, but I don't regret applying to all those schools I was rejected from. """You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" - Wayne Gretzky" - Michael Scott." - not_really_cool

I interviewed at BU Bioinformatics PhD

they certainly sent their first batch of acceptance last week, and they run an internal wait-list as to fill the spots

Nobody that I know has heard from Colorado yet. It's weird. Maybe they just don't interview at all? (I know only a couple of others who applied though, so small sample.)

I actually got admitted into IUPUI for Ms Bioinformatics last March with some scholarships awarded. Though, I won't be attending. 

Will be going to Loyola

I never heard back from CU Denver, and their site started redirecting me elsewhere. Whatever. I'm going to UCSD.
