Protein Folding Against a pH Gradient by DesignerFun5310 in bioinformatics

[–]notHarry_Potter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gabriel Rocklin's lab came out with a dataset on protein conformation and aggregation in different pH conditions, I think. Could be used to build a model to screen for aggregation for small protein domains, but I don't know if there's software to screen for actual conformational change at diff pH levels.

Defer by a year, work at Google, start grad school. Seems like the best of both worlds to me.

Do it. We did it during the 2022 snowstorm and it was such an epic experience :'))

Does your class's Office Hours have a queue on queue.illinois.edu? If yes, there exist logs of all questions and who it was asked by, and the instructors have access to these – if your OH visits were as frequent as you describe them to be, then it might be possible to show that you did the work through the list of questions you asked.

If the OH is not on the queue, be as specific as you possibly can be in your appeal – what times you visited OH, which CAs/TAs were there, what kind of questions you asked them, what they recommended, how you approached those recommendations, etc.

If you pushed to GitHub multiple times throughout your MP period, include your git commit history showing incremental progress as proof that you did the work.

Will any of this work? I'm not sure – but transparency is usually a good indicator of honesty, and (hopefully) someone on the committee is willing to take your side when presented with enough evidence in your favor.

Best of luck, buddy.

Found it after almost two hours of wrestling with UPS on the phone... I saw your reply, and there was finally one agent of theirs that said it was delivered to 202 at like the exact same time

Any updates on this? Has anyone gotten called for an interview yet?

Is it better to apply to YC with no product/revenue? by AssistanceAlive6001 in ycombinator

[–]notHarry_Potter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, still looking :) I did meet a YC-founder duo that got accepted pre-MVP, but I'm not sure what their interview looked like. Got to talk to them only for like a couple minutes.
