PhD Applications
I just wanted to let everyone know what has been the outcome of my PhD applications. I was accepted to UC San Diego and UC Santa Cruz to the Bioinformatics PhD program. UCSD had a visiting weekend which was amazing. I really enjoyed hearing about the current research from faculty and students.
I interviewed at Stanford for the Biomedical Informatics PhD and after two rounds of interviews, I was rejected a month later. I also had intense interviews at UC San Francisco for the Biological and Medical Informatics PhD. I knew a lot about UCSF since I currently do research there but that doesn’t necessarily mean I would get accepted. A week after the UCSF interview I was accepted!
It was a difficult decision but after careful consideration, I will be starting my Biological and Medical Informatics PhD at the University of California, San Francisco. This summer will be spent learning lots of biology and possibly a summer research rotation! I can’t wait!
