When I clicked on tha website, i was amazed to see that everyone on that forum were students applying either to Harvard, Princeton, Yale, UCB, Stanford, MIT U penn and other. What the hell is wrong in Biology? Everyone goes to TOP Universities only, They never apply to any safety schools.

They are already accepted to so many places and are called for interviews. I do not know why Physics departments are so slow. Biology dept receives way more applicants than Physics dept does. Inspite of that they have early decisions, The stipend is like $25,000 minimum.

yeah there is way more funding in biology for larger stipends. About the early decisions, I remember seeing that the deadlines for the biology programs were a lot earlier than the deadlines for physics, probably because it is such a popular subject.

most of the Biology depts have deadline in as early as Dec 1. We also have Universities that have deadlines like Dec 7, and Dec 15.
Conclusion:
Physics profs are slacker

Does anybody here know the place where we can find info on yearly stipend of each Universities? Do we ever get stipend of $25000 in any Universities? I am not talking about fellowships. I am only talking about TAs and GRAs!

MIT gives 27000/year

Stanford gives up to 7800 per quarter. I am not sure how the quarter system works, but if there are 4 quarters in a year, then that comes out to 31200.
