3rd q CASPER and 6 Preview

During the cycle I published a 2nd author review article, wrote a 200k grant for my lab that got funded, finalized two of the nature subjournal papers and one is now under review while another is making its way through big C/N/S before it'll most likely settle at a nature subjournal, and started work on a first-author wet lab paper that we are aiming to submit before I start med school. However, I didn't submit any update letters to any of the schools I got into (while I sent at least one update letter to all of the schools I was WLd at prior to any decision so possibly my update letters hurt me at those?)

Regardless, I probably wasn't choosing any of my other interviews over a Vandy full tuition scholarship anyway, so it all worked out in the end!

Sankey is missing Tufts and Ohio State which will be pre-II Rs
