Still haven't heard back from Caltech BE yet, and I was never invited to an interview. Should I assume no at this point?

Having spoken to someone at Stanford, apparently we will be interviewing with people who we chose preference with and people that represent Stanford BioE.

I have an interview for Stanford BE coming up, anyone have any tips for what to expect?

Wow speak of the devil just heard back....oh well at least I got one of my top schools.

Ah good to know, thanks!

Out of curiosity, how do you know we should hear back from MIT BE by the end of the week?

Any idea when we should hear from MIT BE? I saw some people got interviews and one person said they were rejected but I haven't heard anything from them.

Heard from Stanford last night, interview!

Okay good haha. I did most of mine in late Nov. and early Dec. just was wondering if anyone who had applied around those periods had heard back already.

Argon out of curiosity, when did you submit your Berkeley, Stanford, and MIT apps?

Hey Doomination I saw you post in the ChemE thread as well. You and I applied to many similar schools, would you mind sharing your stats?

SAT was never my strong suit either, I had to take 10 practice exams to get above a 700 on the math. I can do math well......just not quick. Didn't have the same amount of time to commit to GRE that I did SAT unfortunately. Good luck to you too man!

Hey everyone, just wanna gauge how I look for the schools I'm applying to based on my stats. Please give me your thoughts and I'll update as I get further acceptances.
