Extra Espresso Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 1 hour ago, pterosaur said: Aaaaaagh. Just submitted my last application and screwed up the BioE/BME thing. It's where I did my undergrad, it's sort of my backup, and I'm pretty sure I'll get in. Do you think it's worth doing anything about? I hope not! I think they'll forgive you, especially since it's your undergrad school. If you're super worried about it, you could email the admissions office and ask if they could update your SOP with a corrected one. I did that for my two most grievous errors (e.g., mixing up the department in the header and multiple times in the SOP). The three that I left uncorrected are ones were I said essentially "I want to get a PhD in biomedical engineering" and their programs were bioengineering, or vice versa. I'm really hoping they just overlook that part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pterosaur Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Yeah, it was more of a minor thing like that, so I don't think I'll do anything. And with contact from 4 profs at Harvard, I'm getting more optimistic about getting in there, which is my top choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 2015, it was around 1/21 and at 2014 it was around 1/17. So I thought I might be flexible! I am just so anxious about the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I just want to know the result from Stanford as soon as possible..Even if it is not good, I can arrange my interview for MIT at 2.29. Cause last year Stanford's interview was at 2.26-28. I worry about the conflicts between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your application, by any chance, still appears as incomplete due to the lack of the official transcript? I sent mine since november, but it seems they haven't received it yet... I have a strong delivery proof b/c the package was signed for by their administrative assistant, but they refuse to answer questions related to status of documents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a strong delivery proof b/c the package was signed for by their administrative assistant, but they refuse to answer questions related to status of documents Mine still says incomplete as well (and I did resend an official transcript in early January). Given the number of people who have this issue, it seems reasonable to assume they probably don't update that part of the application if you already submitted unofficial transcripts. I did call the office, and they said that interview invites would go out "late January." Also, the interview weekend will be February 25-26, which does conflict with MIT MEMP (Medical Engineering and Medical Physics). If I get interviews at both (which is a big if), I don't know what I'm going to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to make sure, you're saying they are not sending out any more invitations, and not that you don't know? I was seeing they had already sent out some rejections. Thanks!

Since scheduling interviews with faculty is first come first serve, I'm assuming a lot of individuals were invited. It's going to be fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite professor told me you could have any faculty member at Pitt or CMU as your PI, so there definitely a lot of options!
