can somebody post an example of a post-interview thank you/follow-up email to a professor? i want to write a few this coming week but im really over-thinking about what to say

soo about this "wait list" message that UCSD bioinformatics sent out.. does anybody know if this is just a list of everybody who didnt get an invite or if there were actually full on rejections sent out in addition to a wait list.. im pretty confident the answer is the former but just wondering if anybody knows otherwise

Has anybody heard from UCSD systems bio/bioinformatics? and if so, when?

hey, when did you hear from UCSD? I also applied to bioinformatics but I submitted my app on the very last day and I got a message from them back in mid december that they already started reviewing apps and I should submit asap

lol i was thinking more like decent looking every day clothes that fit properly but ok

on the topic of interview attire.. do we have to wear business casual to dinner with grad students? especially if they specifically used the word 'informal'

from what I've heard they mainly just want to see how well you can talk about your research experiences.. i heard about one instance where they asked technical questions..this was at JHU

Has anyone heard back regarding UCSF iPQB?

Thanks! I noticed results from last year showed an international applicant getting an invite on Feb 10th for UMassMed, so definitely still hope! good luck!

Wasn't me who posted on the results page but I did get an interview invite today to BBS - my stats are on pg 6

For anybody who applied to UMass Med biomedical sciences, got an email today saying they reviewed my application this morning and wanted my Fall 2012 grades I submitted my application on the very last day

Yes, yes they will. Also, I totally lol'd at this line in UWashington's email "Unfortunately, the committee has decided not to recommend your admission and I concur with this decision." << thank you, sir, for approving the message.

:/ not our day

just got another rejection from UWashington genome sciences... im on a roll lol

rejected from WashU St. Louis computational and systems biology...... w0mp

got an email interview invite from NYU yesterday! (genomics/systems bio)
