What do you hear about the molecular biology undergraduate program?

<p>Hi, </p>

<p>I saw an interview with David Botstein </p>

<p><a href="http://genetics.plosjournals.org/perlserv/?request=get-document&doi=10.1371/journal.pgen.0020079%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://genetics.plosjournals.org/perlserv/?request=get-document&doi=10.1371/journal.pgen.0020079&lt;/a> </p>

<p>and the interview mentioned Princeton's genomics institute </p>

<p><a href="http://www.princeton.edu/pr/news/02/q3/0922-botstein.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.princeton.edu/pr/news/02/q3/0922-botstein.htm&lt;/a> </p>

<p>and also seemed to mention a special interdisciplinary program in the sciences that sounds quite interesting. Is that the molecular biology undergraduate program? </p>

<p>What do you hear about it? Are any of you planning to apply to that program?</p>

<p>Princeton has an integrated science program but also a traditional mol bio major. Two different approaches.</p>

<p>Thanks. The Lewis-Sigler Institute program must be the one mentioned in the interview with Professor Botstein, which I found very intriguing.</p>

<p>How strong is Princeton's Molecular Biology program compared with other Ivies/top schools? What would be the best colleges to apply to for that field?</p>
