Accepted to Einstein! Haven't received official email from the school, but received personal calls and emails from multiple professors. They wanted to let me know in advance. So excited

Thank you to both of you!

Hi! So I am currently trying to figure out how to resolve interview conflicts issue... I am already committed to two interview offers (one in late January and the other in February), but recently I heard back from third school and unfortunately the third school's interview overlaps with my two other interview dates...... I am sure someone must have posted this kind of situation here at gradcafe, but please bear it with me! Can someone tell me what would be the best way to solve this problem? I really appreciate it!

I got mine today at 5pm via email. They called me first at around 2:30pm and I missed it, so they sent me invitation email later afternoon.

Congrats!!! If I don't hear back from Columbia CMBS, does that mean that I didn't get in...? 0_0

Received invitation via email from admission director for northwestern DGP! She has given me three options (Jan 12-14/Jan26-28/Feb 9-11) for interview, but I think I will most likely to attend the first one on Jan 12-14.

Received an invitation email from UMass-Med for interview!!!

Hi! I am applying for 2017 PhD program (possibly neuroscience or stem cell biology). I just found out that some schools are accepting in a rolling base, and I am wondering if rec letters have to be in early as well. Or would it be okay if I submit all my essays/CV/transcript etc early but LOR by Dec 1? Would it still be counted as rolling? I guess not?!
