budgie Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 For those stressing like me, I called UW (Seattle) and got some updates. The AC is still reviewing applications and said they plan on releasing more decisions in March, with recruitment activities planned for March 22-23. There is still hope!

vektor Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hey guys, Â Do you know if schools like Duke, Penn, Harvard, Cornell, and JHU have released their decision or interview invitation yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R380 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 @Vektor I am invited to Duke for Feb 22th. Haven't heard anything from JHU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicer87 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I saw one interview invite for Harvard posted in the results section. Penn has been sending out invites sporadically for the past week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicer87 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Haha I wish I was in a position to be able to answer your question. What are your stats btw? I am assuming you got a Columbia interview and want to know what kind of stats they are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest36 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 For anyone else waiting to hear back from JHU. Contacted them today and their interview invites will be sent out early next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiander Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hi budgie, Â I still haven't heard back from UCSD. Do you know when the interview date(s) are for UCSD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budgie Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hi budgie, Â I still haven't heard back from UCSD. Do you know when the interview date(s) are for UCSD? Â There's two weekends, one next week (Feb 15th) and another the week after that (Feb 22nd). Hopefully you'll hear back soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vektor Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hey guys, anyone heard anything from Cornell BME? I called them earlier today and they said that they will announce the decision somewhat later this year, maybe in a few weeks through email. But I wonder if Cornell is just sending out invites in waves or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wonder if Cornell is just sending out invites in waves or something? I received notification of acceptance on January 27th, but I seem to be the only one in the forum who has heard anything from Cornell. My guess is that they're doing rolling admissions. Their recruitment weekend is March 7th, so there's still plenty of time to hear back before then. Best luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vektor Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 @budgie thanks for the info - just curious, but do you happen to receive the email from Belinda or your POIs? Also - would you mind telling me what your stat is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budgie Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 @budgie thanks for the info - just curious, but do you happen to receive the email from Belinda or your POIs? Also - would you mind telling me what your stat is? The email was from Belinda and I also received a packet of information in the post. My stats aren't anything too special; I did particularly mediocre on the GRE, I think it was my LORs and SOP that helped me stand out in this process. Stats: transfer student, GPA-3.90, GRE-V158/Q159/A4.5, ~6mo significant research experience, no papers (yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msr420 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Does anyone know if all the acceptances are sent out from UT Austin BME? I emailed a Prof. on 24th last month who replied it was early in the game, but promised me to ask his contacts in the department. We haven't communicated since then, however. I believe Austin's BME manages sending acceptances within 1st week of Feb with little exception. I am really worried! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
