Looking to the horizon

I committed to Yale a few weeks ago. So scared when I was responding to the letters, since I thought I would accidentally hit "no" by accident.

) First acceptance !!

Rockefeller rejections finally released.

Yeah, Princeton Mol Bio and Rockefeller have already sent out their invites. I believe that if you haven't heard from them by now, you are rejected. Don't worry. I didn't get any word from Princeton or Rockefeller either.

@erbbie, you didn't get any response from Rockefeller, either?

Nothing from Rockefeller for me, either. I'm starting to have a tension headache from their silence. First interviews this week!

@ragumar13, when are you going to Yale and Brown? I'll see you at both of them!!

@Jubilee: Rockefeller will send you a LETTER (in the mail) next week with results. I'm waiting anxiously, too! Also didn't hear from Princeton yet, so... yep. I feel your pain.

Rejected from UCSF TETRAD

Got a call from Brown University's MCB The faculty member was so kind!

Hey. When'd you hear from UCSF TETRAD?

Agreed. I am upset because I know some of the programs I applied to have already sent out invites for interviews.

Right? That's also what I thought. I just wish that if Mol Bio doesn't want me, that at least one of the other programs will.

I'm trying to console myself, because I can see that the calls for Yale BBS MCGD are still only going out today, whereas I received my call yesterday. So I hope this means that we still have a chance at these other schools.

Yay! Congrats, theoretician! Btw what dept(s) did you apply for at Princeton?

Did you happen to list additional departments on your Princeton application? I know I put Mol Bio as my main choice, but I listed several other choices in Chemistry. I hope this is why there is a delay. My friend applied only to Mol Bio and got the call on Monday.

I agree. I am equally as anxious. I sent in my application on December 13th, since the admissions committee saw my nearly finished app and highly encouraged me to finish it. I hope that was a good sign. But I know they would need more than 7 days to give me a response...

What department did you specify in your app for Princeton?

Did anybody hear from Princeton Chemistry? (Or the subsets of Chemistry?) I applied to Environmental Chemistry, Biological Chemistry, and Molecular Biology.

You're applying to Princeton too? Glad I'm not the only one who hasn't received a call yet.

Did anybody get anything back from Princeton Mol Bio or UCSF TETRAD? I'm so anxious. x.x

Have you received calls/e-mails inviting you to their recruitment weekends? If so, which schools? and how/when were you contacted? I have been notified by: Rutgers/RWJ/UMDNJ Molecular Biosciences program -- e-mail in early December Yale BBS MCBGD program -- phone call in mid-December
