    chickpea25 replied to iriska_meller's topic in Post Graduate Students

    This is probably off topic, here, but since I'm choosing between Yale and Columbia, I'd like to know if anyone else is in the same boat? I'm leaning toward Yale because I had such a great experience...

    chickpea25 replied to iriska_meller's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Don't worry about the Feb 1st deadline. I mean, it's really just a date by which students must file to receive the most funding, although I have heard that it really doesn't matter all that much. I...

  13. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    chickpea25 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

  15. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    chickpea25 replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Sadness: rejected by UCSF this morning. Honestly, I don't know what the magic formula is for that school. I bet it's the fact that while I have worked in a bunch of medical settings, I've never had...

    chickpea25 replied to aspiringnp's topic in Post Graduate Students
