No news for me either . Applied close to the deadline for first time applicants. Haven't gotten any info from any of the UCs. Its getting really depressing .
Started looking for a job now....there really aren't that many jobs in the science field for bio sci undergrads unfortunately .
Hope I'm not SOL...
Here were my stats:
- First time applicant (UCI, UCSD, UCD, UCSF)
- Current UC (UCI) GPA: 3.08
- Have done research for 2 years (almost) with some papers coming out with my name on them. Got a UROP (research) grant and 'fellowship' and I'm giving a talk in about 2 weeks.
- Involved with a club from its inception (currently the president)
- founder of a pre-health council
- Resident Advisor for two years and have had numerous other leadership experiences
- did some volunteering for different causes (MS, orphanages, underprivileged schools etc)
- strong LOR (at least from what I know)
Good luck guys! I'll be stalking this thread for the next 2 weeks or so. If by the end of May I don't get an answer (any answer) I'm just gonna assume its a lost cause
On a side note, what kind of jobs are you guys looking at for applying?
Arg! Now i am really screwed. I also go to UCI and my CV isn't nearly as impressive.
