ok, good luck then!...not sure about the sharing part...it's a PI scholarship, so it's prestigious, but then would hint that you're committed to PI in the near future, so not sure how BL firms would perceive that.

Not sure if they're taking this kind of stuff into consideration. The interviewer let is slip that they don't even really care about you updating schools either until you deposit at one

Yea i think the only update that would matter after your file is complete is which school your depositing at.

Will confirm decisions are being sent out.
With the large caveat that my situation is unique...but this means they are at least weighing applications.

I think it's best to take it as a, "They think I'm qualified enough to interview me" but it's still extremely competitive and you need to do well on the interview. So have some hope? idk anymore

I read somewhere on the SEO website that we should let them know what school we decide on by April 28th, where do we update this information to them at?
