CONGRATULATIONS!!! I haven't heard anything from them so I'm guessing a silent rejection lol. However, I'm pumped you received an interview and I'll try to send some positive wavelengths your way!! Now that my summer is free, I'll try to get in more veterinary experience hours I guess.

I've also applied to the Columbia program! I haven't heard from them either, so my guess would be about a week before phone interviews or so... Anyways, good luck you guys!

Welp, here's to my easy schedule..... Major: Interdisciplinary studies (molecular biology, biochemistry and bioinformatics) - General zoology - Physics I - Organic chemistry II - Genetics (maybe, I'm still trying to pull strings.) - Intro to LGBT studies.

One project focuses on the adaptations of amphibians and other species to certain chemical contaminants.... I'm not a scientist, but I believe this could have some genetic components....

I'm a sophomore and I've decided to get my feet wet a little and try to get some research under my belt. I've never done research before, so I thought this will be a good time to see what I like, what I don't like, and so on. My major is molecular biology but I'm interested in doing chemistry...

So I've decided I'm going to be applying to three this year: - Project IMHOTEP: Morehouse College - MCHC/RISE-UP: Kennedy Krieger Institute - SPHSP: Columbia University I'm still looking out for more, but these three are a definite.

I'm a sophomore and have not done any research, unfortunately. Career wise, as of now, I'm leaning into veterinary medicine and research and/or public health. I like to keep my options open, but that's what I've been working towards this far.

So I'm just a normal student, and I'm interested in summer research and my major actually requires research. So I was wondering if you have to be a stellar applicant with a GPA of 3.7+ (or something....) to get in? I was looking into the AMGEN program and it looks pretty exclusive...

This has probably been stated multiple times, but really try building a professional relationship with your professors. This includes going to their office hours for help or just to say hi and discuss your goals for the class, strategies and etc. Also if you want a recommendation letter from...

Same! I think it was during the astronomy round when he made that little speech to the judges; I had to turn away from the screen because of the awkwardness...

I pretty much do the same, but for me, I utilize colors. For the OP, I also take about 3hrs -4hrs studying and sometimes I get a little discouraged because I feel like I'm the ONLY one working to the bone. I read the chapter(s), take notes in one color and then during lecture, I take notes in...

I never knew this was going to be so hard, the whole pre-vet journey and the preparations needed. I've realized that I'm going have to take at least 19-21 credits a semester and at least three or four science courses a semester. I've managed to volunteer at a vet clinic/animal hotel on...

Yikes... I raised you better than that... jk. I think we all were the, "uninformed pre-whatever" but I think the OP just doesn't know--- which is okay, to an extent. I do agree that he/she needs to do some research on requirements and all that fun stuff because knowing what you have to take and...

We have to do the same :) Hopefully it will get better because I do like chemistry, but I just wish it showed in my lab performance. Thanks so much! Funny story, I was a chemistry major and then dropped that and was about to major in secondary education. Then just like you, I switched not into...

I swear, this class makes me want to throw my glassware across the room lol. Today in lab, I was the last one out and didn't even get finished the lab... I've asked for help, and my professor said I did the whole thing wrong and had to start over. I think I had to redo everything about 3 times...
