So as I mentioned in a few other threads, I've been spending the last few months agonizing over graduate school, first with the application and interview process, and then a full month of arguing with myself over where to actually go. Well, I finally reached a decision yesterday, and I am accepting an offer from Harvard Medical School's PhD program in biomedical sciences.

To a certain extent, my brain still hasn't really processed that fact... I just reread that sentence and went, "wait, whaaaaaa?" In a lot of ways, I'm still happily surprised that I actually got in. But yes, the forms are really in the mail and everything is really set. It's going to be a tough six years, and I'll have to work harder than I ever have before, but I'm thankful and excited and totally pumped. Boston, here I come!

I have a couple of labs that I'm interested in, mostly in cell and developmental biology. It'll be a while, I think, before I can really pin down my research interests- but that, of course, is what rotations are for. [Smile]

Congrats Tarrsk! [Hat]

Now I can't believe you started an American Idol thread either. Quick, delete it before Harvard googles you!

Congrats. You have to eat at Legal Seafood. That is my favorite restaurant ever. I only get it when I go to Boston on business.
