Notes
Check the website around 2AM and found the rejection posted a couple of hours ago. It suuuuuuuuucks. rejection two year in a row. I didn't try hard to impress the adcom last year and so I networked w/ a professor but still got rejected, probably after being wait-listed for a month. The professor told me I could join his lab after his funding application has been approved. Not sure about his funding status now but definitely no point asking. The BME program sends out offers in late Jan., and if you don't get an offer by early Feb., man, you're screwed. No interview prior to admission. I'm really depressed 'coz I can't live w/ my fiance in Chicago now. fxck.
