I'm in the same boat - every time an e-mail pops up on my phone my heart stops beating for a second. I would just wait it out - don't contact them again. They usually are pretty spot on when they give you a time range (in the programs I've spoken to) - so take it easy and try to get distracted! Once I hear back from the school I interviewed at, I'm going to contact other schools I haven't heard from just so I can know my options before I make a final decision. Best of luck!!

When do you think you guys will be reaching out to school's you haven't heard back from? I'm trying to figure out an appropriate timeline...

That's awesome! Best of luck! Let me know if you hear back from Tulane - would be awesome if we wound up in the same program

hi!! ecological genetics how about you?? Where did you apply? I applied to a brand new PI's lab in Tulane so I think she's hoping to get interviews done early. That way she can guarantee she has a PhD student so she can get her lab started there. It's really not an official interview weekend at Tulane. As far as I know, I'll be the only visiting student there that day. I can ask and let you know after my visit (which is on Friday). Got it about Princeton, should we be expecting rejections soon then? lol

Hey everyone! I'm really interested in if anyone knows if Columbia EEEB invites prospective students out to interview with them. Also has anyone heard from Georgetown yet? Undergrad Institution: Binghamton SUNY Major(s): Biology (concentration in EEB) Minor(s): Music GPA in Major: 3.6 Overall GPA: 3.5 Position in Class: Top Type of Student: Domestic female GRE Scores (revised/old version): Q: 158 V: 159 W: 5.5 B: Research Experience: I'm working on my honor's thesis at my school and have had almost two years of experience. Awards/Honors/Recognitions: I received an undergraduate research grant to perform my research and I also applied to the NSF GRFP, which I'm sure was attractive for some schools. Pertinent Activities or Jobs: I've been a teaching assistant. Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: I had really great letters of recommendation and I was told my personal statements were impressive. I also established communication with potential advisors before applying, which only helped. Applying to Where: Princeton, Columbia, Yale, Georgetown, UMich, UCI, UCSB, Tulane. So far I got a rejection from UCI and UMich and two interviews at Tulane (1/27) and Yale (2/1). Waiting to hear back from Princeton, Columbia, Georgetown, and UCSB. Let me know if you heard anything!

Yes! Just got a rejection e-mail yesterday
