Well its official!
After a very long, drawn out and very hard thought process, I decided to send in my acceptance letters to the University of Cincinnati Immunobiology PhD program. I will start with research on July 1st before classes begin in August.
Christina and I are going to look at apartments next Thursday, so we will hopefully have that settled soon as well!
I will update on that process as well.
Have a good rest of the week!

IUSM
Realized I never did blog about my visit to the Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) Integrated Biomedical Gateway (IBMG) over 2/23 - 2/25.
The visit started with a campus tour and poster session, before we had dinner that night at Creation Cafe with some of the current graduate students.
The following day were my interviews as well as program overviews. I interviewed with the 3 faculty members I would prefer to research with the most: Dr. Mark Kaplan, Dr. Shreevrat Goenka, and Dr. Alex Dent! That was nice because I had met them before, which helped ease the tension a little.
We had dinner that night with students, faculty, and staff at the Rathskeller which was very delicious!
Overall, I really enjoyed the campus visit. The upside of their program is that the program includes 11 departments with over 300 researchers to choose from. Many of them don't research in immunology, but there are some outside of the Micro and Immuno department that I could choose from as well.
It is a bit larger program than the UC Immunobiology program mainly because I would come in with students who are interested in any of the 11 departments.
I received an acceptance email from the program today, so now it is decision time! Hopefully, within the next day or so I will be able to make a decision!
Until then, have a good week!
