Note

To the below applicant, I received an email of rejection from the program coordinator on 3/15/10. She said the applicants were too many and the spots limited. As of mid February when I emailed her she told me I was not on the short list but nothing was final. The website says potential candidates are invited to the recruitment weekend in February, so I guess it's safe to say they've already picked their applicants (most likely exchange students from China with student visas like they all were last year--talk about outsourcing). I had high hopes for this program but in the end, they are just looking to beat out the world competition by recruiting from smart areas of the globe that might advance in research before them.
