I've been accepted to the University of Michigan Chemical Biology doctorate program!!!!!

:D \o/

I applied THREE DAYS ago. THREE DAYS. I literally sent it in Saturday night. The woman who called me said this in her email:

"It was great talking to you on the phone. As I mentioned during our conversation, the committee was so impressed by your application that we are ACCEPTING you in our program.

*BEAMTWIRLS* Now UM's going to pay to fly me out and put me up for a weekend in March so I can meet all the professors and students and look at the school.

Like. WHAT???? YAY!

ETA: I have ALSO received an invitation from University of Washington to come visit in February! They defer their final decision until after you visit and they assess your fit with the program. I repeat: YAY!!!!

Now I'm just waiting on San Francisco!

*BEAMS* Thank you sweetie!!!!

And awwww how awesome would that be? Do you really particularly want to go to U of M or would that just be a fun eventuality?

I'd say it's about half and half... I don't really know much about the program, other than that it's good, but I was raised to be a U of M girl. My dad went to U of M for undergrad, and my uncle got two bachelor's and a master's there, and I was raised on Wolverines football. I don't think I've ever been to Ann Arbor (if I have, I was very young) but my dad is always telling me how fantastic of a place it is. Hee! (And my bff here would consider Michigan for grad school as well because they have a fantastic public policy program, so there's that.)
