just be aware of the stipulations - it's an awesome scholarship, but only if you're 100% set on a career in PI.

I would love to hear back re:anything from NYU. I've been stuck at UR1 on 1/2. Most people seem to hear back so quickly. I'm a reverse splitter though so I don't know if that's it.

It took me about 22 days to go UR2 and over a month to get a decision. So I think it's still too early for you to worry (there are actually many people from Sept-Dec who have not yet got a decision).

Oooo ok. By that timeline, hopefully there will be some SC movement over the next month.

For me it was also 22 days between UR1 and UR2 and 25 days between UR2 and getting the DLS status.

You're welcome. I saw a whole bunch of willingness to pay sticker at SLS inthis poll but only 1 person trying to work in the bay area for SEO. Are any aspiring SLS or Berkeley people also applying SEO out there?

meeeee. but I haven't been accepted to berk or sls (and sls is definitely a long shot, berk is too considering I was pushed to faculty review).

Hey y'all, so I was going to consolidate diversity ASW info so I can figure out if I'm gonna go to any of them, then I thought it could be a good resource for TLS in general. Do you think it should be on the main ASW page, on another tab of our URM results google doc, or a thread within the URM forum? /is anyone other than me even interested in having this info compiled?

Wahrheit wrote:Smile is always TCR for people you want to like you. It encourages mimicry (the adcomms will smile) - and there is further psych theory that emotion follows action in some instances. So that mimicry could implant positive thoughts.

It probably won't make a big difference overall, but SCIENCE!
SMH...y'all so damn smart in here :D
