HiddenTruth said:when did u guys apply? Did you contact any of the PI's, or they contacted you? I recently applied, like the last due date. Haven't heard. I called the main office and they said that I should email the PI's in the labs that I am itnerested in to let them know that my app and letters are up. Any suggestions.
i went for an interview and was accepted on the spot....im in transition..i graduate this May and i start med skool this fall...donvicious said:I'm still waiting to here from them. When did you guys get notified?
HiddenTruth said:That's cool. I am actually a M2 right now. So, I am not even sure if I am going to do this (I did apply for it however). If I spend 2 months summer, I will lose elective time later down the road. I alreadyspent last summer somwehere doing research for 3 mos. The only research I am going to do is going to be in the specialty I decide from thsi point on. While I have some interests, I don't wanna just give up two months right now and then not have tiem to do anything later when I know for sure. Plus, does anyone know, (perhaps older kids or residents), whether something like this, research at NIH for the summer looks more "perstigious" so to say, than say, working at a top 5 ENT department (just giving e.g for a compet field) for couple months later down the rd and pursue a career in ENT and potentially get at least a letter, if not pub. Thanks.

HiddenTruth said:well, gotta get/make most out of time. It's the little things and connections u make that get u a step ahead in this worthless field.
Both NIH & Dupont are on the Red line (www.wmata.com). During morning rush hour, it's a 14 minute train ride that costs $2.20. Extremely easy commute by train.imagoodmanyea said:Is Bethesda a decent place to live? I heard it was boring, but it's close to the NIH campus. Someone is offering me a one bedroom in Dupont Circle, but the rent is a bit steep ($1200/ month). Dupont Circle seems like a fun place to live, but would the long commute make it a hassle?
