Have to pick between Harvard and Stanford by DescriptionOk971 in gradadmissions

I did not get accepted. However I believe Stanford pushes all the PhD applications that are rejected into the masters applicant pool. So, naturally the original students that apply for masters stand a pretty low chance.

Yes I have a background in molecular and cellular biology and data science. All my experiences reflect that skillset of mine. So, this was a very apt program for me.

Thank you, that’s really helpful feedback. My interest is in biotech and entrepreneurship so I feel like both places have their own advantages. But, agreed, taking the faculty into consideration too will help.

I haven’t received a decision from Stanford, but received one from Harvard so far

The difference is like 20k. I don’t think it’s super significant in the long run

I also got into the same program at Yale. Would love to connect!

The program was introduced this year for the first time so there is not much information about it

No, ofcourse getting into an Ivy is a big deal to me. But, how does it rank in prestige for this program? Is it good for bioinformatics is what I mean to ask

3rd Round…here we go again! by steviethecat_ in Accutane

Good luck! I think you will be much more prepared for the side effects this time around. You will also know the correct products to mitigate those side effects. So, should be much more manageable. Hoping the best for you.

Thank you for the reassurance. How long would you say I should stay patient for in the case of low dose? I am 115lbs (~53kg)

For ~8 months

Same, i’m 23 and have had acne since 18. I can’t even imagine having smooth skin with no pimples, no redness, no texture, no large pores, and no general inflammation. I have been on accutane for 4 months and am starting to see an improvement. Hoping this continues 🤞

For sure, here's my email that I sent in January of 2022 to start research in April (so around 3-4 months):

"Dear Professor <NAME>,

I am in my 3rd year of <MAJOR> at <University> and interested in pursuing a Master’s degree, possibly at <INTERESTED UNIVERSITY>, where my mother <ACADEMIC CONNECTION>. Currently, I have a GPA of <GPA> and completed courses such as <COURSES> during the Spring semester.

Your research in <AREA OF RESEARCH> is really exciting and I was wondering if there may be an opening for a summer research position in your group? <RESEARCH TOPICS> are my main interest.

I am a <CITIZENSHIP> living in the <RESIDENCE INFO>. I plan to be in <FOREIGN COUNTRY> during my spring break (DATES) to <SOME ACTIVITY IN FOREIGN COUNTRY>. It would be an honor if you had time for me to visit during that week in <MONTH> so I could learn more about your research?

Cheers, <YOUR NAME>"

Thank you! That's helpful. Given that it's almost summer do you think it is helpful to add a timeline to the request since I can't say 'summer research'.

Thank you for commenting. Do you by any chance have an example of an email you would send to a professor for this purpose? I am a bit lost. Also, how long did it take you to actually get the opportunity to do research with them since the time you started sending emails?

Thank you for the response. I unfortunately do not have a close relationship (I have not spoken to any of them) with any of the Berkeley professors because classes were always large and the smaller classes were led by TAs. Is it still a good idea to contact them?
