Just as I have proven myself capable of being exceptionally lucky (mcat) and successful(gre general) in my ability to scrape by with a reasonable score without too much pain, I've also recently proven that I can fall flat on my face. GRE subject Biology (not molec) score 720, 70th percentile. It's a fantastic score. It's the most accurate score I've predicted for any exam I took, and I wish I'd complained about it more so that I can say HAH, SEE, I told you I screwed up and really know I did. haha...

aiyh, another screw up is that I prematurely committed to sending all my grad schools this crapscore, which means my gre general score will not be sent until ETS releases my subject score as well (i called in to find out early), wth.

I am very hopeful about wash u. It's a very good place for immunology research (met so many of the big boys in my field it's crazy and so humbling and inspiring), the MSTP has lots of money to spend on its students, the cost of living in st louis is so low the 27,000 stipend allows most students to buy a car and a house (yes BUY), and the program is ranked fourth on US rankings for top medical research institutions. I'll be very disappointed if I get a phone call from wash u within the next two weeks. their system is funny, if you get a phone call, it means you're rejected. *please don't call me, international calls more ex.

i'm at the ORD airport now. Bored, and surfing around for something interesting mr loris might be able to do at wash U for grad school. but man, wash u BME really sucks, there is no denying that. Shall look for projects under the med school instead.

Sigh, this is so not working. unless mr loris changes his research focus from neuro to cardio there ain't gonna be any good projects for him at wash u. sigh!

emory just sent me an interview invite, but they won't pay for my flight. But emory is in Atlanta, and Georgia Tech is in Atlanta, and emory and Georgia tech has joint graduate programs, and GTech is ranked 4th for BME grad school in the states.
