I guess I am now officially in limbo (expected given all the prior acceptances). Given the limited possibilities in preferred PI choice, funding, and credit for master's coursework (in comparison to a Chicago school where I received substantial coursework credit and a 4 yr fellowship+GRA package to study under a PI of choice), I will give up on this. Too bad I was not accepted here 4 yrs ago since this is ideologically my clear favorite (had two tough but excellent BME teachers who studied at Northwestern). Best of luck, everyone. See you around, Wildcats.
