2.http://www.bioinformatics.ucla.edu/ info@bioinformatics.ucla.edu finaid@saonet.ucla.edu :: ask that if no fin award 4 MS,what if i apply to Phd?(MS+Phd)

find mail id from indian association..::
doesnt give a degree itself
requires admission into one of the recommended departments listed below. may apply through a number of participating departments, depending on their background and interests. we recommend the following masters and Ph.D. admissions channels:

Biomedical Engineering: this new admissions program is one possible route for CS / EE graduates interested in doing bioinformatics.

fin aid::Foregin students are advised to consult directly with the department that they plan to apply to since funding is very limited.
fee:Total mandatory fees $ 15,870.50
Total Budget Estimate:fee+books+living=$30,597.50
^75 percent reduction for students advanced to doctoral candidacy:

Support for graduate students at UCLA is provided in the form of grants, fellowships, traineeships, teaching assistantships, and graduate student researcher appointments. Need based support is provided in the form of work-study and loans. Applicants who qualify for need-based support may apply for both a departmental or Graduate Division award and an award based entirely on need.

Financial Support for Masters Students

The interdepartmental bioinformatics faculty group does not have funds to assist master’s students with scholarships or traineeships. Applicants should therefore be prepared to finance expenses from personal funds. Masters students may still qualify for need-based awards, i e. federal student loans and work-study. Applicants are also encouraged to contact the department of admission for information on merit-based awards funded through their department of choice.

mail about if u are eligible : lodha@soe.ucsc.edu
no student...check indian assoc later

* M.S. generally accepted without financial support.
* Ph.D. generally given full support.
programs are run by a new department, Biomolecular Engineering, created Winter 2004
should be strong in at least 2 of the 3 core areas of Bioinformatics: Programming and Computers, Mathematics and Statistics, and Biochemistry and Biology
we accept only a small fraction of applicants and are more swayed by letters of recommendation from people who have supervised you doing research projects than by test results and course grades.

essentially all of our Ph.D. students are supported with research assistantships, fellowships, and other forms of financial assistance. We do not generally support the Master's students.we limit the number we admit by how many we can fund
don't come without funding

For Fall 2003, we admitted about 15% of US applicants and 3% of foreign applicants. For Fall 2004, we admitted about 26% of US PhD applicants, but only 1% of foreign applicants.

visit indian students..
** sf campus of UC is a medical campus...so better forget it..

prerequisite:
no specific course requirements for admission, the core curriculum assumes that students have substantial computer literacy, and are knowledgeable of the basic life sciences, introductory calculus, matrix manipulation, and elementary statistics. In addition, students should have additional coursework or experience in some aspect of computer science, which could include database or algorithm design, elementary knowledge of a programming language, software engineering, or database or system administration.

MS program is NOT for me..its for M.D., Pharm.D., M.S. in epidemiology

finaid:
All Ph.D. students receive financial support at a standardized level ($24,500 a year stipend for 2004-05); all fees are paid by the Program as well ($8,133 a year in 2004-05)

not offered for M.S. students.

CBCB, the Duke Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy's Center for Bioinformatics & Computational Biology. The Center was established in 2000
programs: The PhD in Bioinformatics and Genome Technology (BGT) is an innovative degree program run by CBCB in collaboration with the IGSP Center for Genome Technology. The BGT PhD is a university graduate program: an integrative, multi-disciplinary degree that reflects the needs of frontier biomedical research focussed on the massively challenging computational:biological interfaces, and the vibrancy and innovation of Duke research at these frontiers. The mission of the BGT PhD program is to educate tomorrow's leaders in this critical arena.
Prerequisites: Students admitted to the BGT program will generally have taken prerequisite courses in both computational and biological sciences to an advanced level. Students are expected to be prepared in mathematics through the Duke equivalent of MATH-103 and
finsupport: BGT Graduate Program provides support for students admitted directly into the Program (as well as for selected students admitted through participating departments, when appropriate) for the first two years of PhD.

Students interested in quantitative biology whose primary background is in Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, Computer Science or one of the other physical sciences should consider applying directly to the BIOMAPS Graduate Program. Students interested in quantitative biology whose primary background is in the biological sciences should apply to the Rutgers/UMDNJ Graduate Programs in Molecular Biosciences which has an overlapping, but different, set of program requirements.
