Re: Re: vmd-l: Fwd: Inviting applications for a new PhD program in Quantitative Biosciences at Georgia Tech

Application fees are, I believe, $75 (same as all Georgia Tech applications - I don’t like it but we can’t change it). This is a brand new program, so we don’t have any statistics yet.

Best,
JC
