<p>I am curious as to where you get your information on Computational Biology and other related fields being easy to get into… these fields are actually very hot right now and extremely fast growing. Computational Biology and Bioinformatics programs are very competitive to get into as this field is in demand and and also the competition is fierce: you are competing against bio, comp sci, and math students for the spots in these programs. I spent the past summer in an NSF funded program for Computational Biology and it had a 4% acceptance rate.</p>
