Graduate School Admission Results

I completed my undergraduate program earlier this year, and this is my second year in a row applying to Ph.D. programs (I made it into none last year). I spent one year prior to college working with a research group at a university back home. I worked continuously for all four years of college with another research group in the same subfield as that in which I hope to pursue doctoral research. I attended three NSF-funded summer REU programs, and presented at two research symposia. GPA within the physics major was around a 3.9. I received honors, and completed a year-long senior research thesis parallel to my other research involvement with yet another research group.

Oversea student, undergraduate in the UK, but shouldn't matter Potential PI emailed me to schedule an interview on 7 Jan, 2025. An unofficial offer (funding not secured yet) made at the end of the interview

Integrated Master's in Biological Sciences from Oxford University (4 years of joint degree). 2 years research experience. Internships at Max Planck, Google and Stanford University. 1 publication in review

GPA: 2.6 BS (CompSci), 3.9 MS (Biology). All US-based. RA job at a top biology school (~3 years). A few other jobs, including a tech internship. 2 publications, 1 in preparation. LoRs from MIT alum, top biology school and current PIs.

Undergraduate in Computer Science with Minor in Medicine from Technical University of Munich (ongoing). One year visiting student at the University of Oxford taking CS courses and writing thesis about synthesizing wearable data with ML models. GPA from Oxford also approximately 3.8 Independent research project about classifying Parkinson's disease from wearable data. (Not finished so maybe not considered) No other research experience, no publications. Gave a talk at an online seminar as one of 5 speakers about my thesis to about 40 people. One internship in aviation software testing. Rather significant open-source contributions First-generation

Interview TBD Jan 15-Jan 23.

good luck to people that got their interview invitations!!

A professor reached out to schedule an interview next week.

Initially in their master’s program

Interviewed on Dec 18th.

No physics backgroud

I was in their master's program first.

contacted by PI of interest asking to set up an informal interview. very excited!!
