Accepted offer from Johns Hopkins MMI. I have to send rejections letters to Pittsburgh and Mt. Sinai now. Hopefully, if they waitlisted people, someone takes my spot! Any advice on the rejection emails?

Which MMI weekend did you interview? I just got accepted there. I am leaning towards there but still haven't officially made my decisions. I am going to doublecheck my PIs of interest have funding etc. I will let you know if I decide otherwise. Best of luck! Hope you get in!

Congrats! Which weekend did you interview? I may be joining you. I haven't decided yet but I think it may be my top choice regardless of other responses. One more interview to attend though.

Rejected from University of Washington Microbiology post interview by email. I would have declined anyways. Looks like I am officially moving to the east coast from California, whether that be at Pitt, Sinai, or Johns Hopkins.

I am interviewing with them Mon/Tuesday. They still haven't given me any information about lodging (and I am coming from San Diego). I also know a few students there and they all say their grad office is rather unorganized, which might contribute to delayed responses. They were also looking at apps in waves.. so I don't know.

Thanks!

Just got a voicemail from University of Pittsburgh IBGP with an acceptance. I haven't been able to listen to all of it as I am currently teaching right now! I interviewed on Jan 24th. I posted stats.

Just got an Mt. Sinai interview as well. Stats are posted.

Anyone else interviewing at UPitt IBGP this weekend? If you already interviewed there, roughly how many interviewees were there?

Not very descriptive information but I talked to my old labmate who is a PhD student at Mt. Sinai now and a professor just reviewed my application and was impressed. Also, if they want to give any interviews, you should hear this month (shocking).

expecting the worst, hoping for the best...

Jan 23rd. I am excited. I have heard really good things about the program there. Unfortunately, I am used to San Diego weather...

Anyone interview at University of Pittsburgh IBGP this weekend? I was originally scheduled for this weekend, but had to push it back. I was wondering how it went and what your thoughts were?

They have another recruitment weekend Mar 6-8.. I know this because I had to reschedule. They seem very nice and helpful. Best of luck!

University of Washington Microbiology invite by email from chair of admissions committee. Interview dates Feb 9-11th or Feb 23-25th.
