I got my first two rejections on the same day and I made the mistake of texting my mom.
Mom: University X is stupid. University Y is a loser.
Me: No, they are actually really good schools...
Mom: Not without you. They are dumb. Their loss.
sigh.
I eventually told my roommates as well.
They all responded with things like "Wow, if you didn't get in, how does anyone get in?"
Well, other people have higher GPAs and more publications...

Seriously? Socks are pretty cheap at Costco and probably Walmart. Buy more pairs.
I do wear my jeans 3 or 4 times before washing them, and sweatshirts I'll wear until they look or smell bad. Everything else is washed after wearing.

I keep both items in the bathroom because (1) I'm not really worried about it, and (2) I don't have a lot of space otherwise. The bathroom has more storage space than my bedroom.

anyone applied to University of Texas GSBS at Houston? Any updates on that? Thanks!
I applied but I haven't heard anything. Applications weren't due until January, right?
-
LMAO YES. If I had a dollar for every time my dad has asked, "So, wait... do you get a masters? Oh, a PhD? Don't you need a masters first?"
People all the time assume I mean masters when I say grad school. I just don't say anything.

I got rejection emails from Sloan-Kettering and U Penn pharmacology today.
-
Is is safe to assume that all GSK invites went out in december?
And between Duke, UT Houston, BCM, and UPenn, who is still sending out invites?
I haven't been keeping up with this thread very well.

UNC BBSP Update:
I sent a mail to the Grad Coordinator and got a reply saying the admissions committees are in their last stretch of meetings and all the remaining applicant will get response within next two weeks.
So lets just hope for the best.
I saw a few rejections on the results which said they got rejection via webpage (applyyourself). Where they post the rejection? At least they can send an email.It seems very rude to me.
I looked online and my status says Submitted. Is this the only place they would post it, or is there a status page somewhere?

I just found out that a friend of a friend works with one of my POIs (the friend is on the clinical side, not part of the research program) and offered to introduce me. I kinda feel like it's late in the season to be contacting PIs. Any opinions?
-
Has anyone heard from UPenn CAMB cancer biology yet? I know I've seen some UPenn stuff, but I'm pretty sure each subsection has its own admissions committee.
Nope. But then again, I haven't heard from any schools so I'm probably not at the top of the list.

i agree. faster rejections are kinder!
anyway...i dont know about st louis....
is it not popular for living??
i thought it is a good famous city...
Famous city =! good city to live in
Detroit is a famous city.

Has anyone heard from UC Denver cancer bio?

I emailed NYU (Sackler) early in the season (like september or october I think) and they took 3 weeks to answer my question.
Edit: I just double checked. They actually took a month and 3 days to respond.
-
Anybody else still in the 'haven't heard from anyone' club?
Me. This isn't a very fun club.

I applied to 9 programs and haven't heard back from any of them. I'm starting to get really nervous. 2 of them had Jan 1 deadlines though, so I'm hoping maybe they haven't sent out invites yet.

I have a quick question about interview scheduling.
So I'm set to interview at GSK from Jan 14-16, then Columbia from the 16-19. Since they're both in NYC, I figured I would only need to buy 2 tickets: one on Jan 14 and one on Jan 19 when I leave. I spoke with GSK and they said that they'd pay for both the Jan 14 and 19 ticket, even though the interview ends on the 16.
I want to contact Columbia now and tell them that I don't need to have my travel tickets reimbursed. Do I need to give a specific reason? Or should I just tell them that it's already been reimbursed by GSK? I'm not sure what would be best, and I don't want to sound misleading to them...
Wow, 9 interviews. Are you planning to go to all of them?
-
EDIT It might also be worth mentioning that I sent them (the general Princeton graduate office) my midyear grades a few days ago, as Princeton asks for them. Not sure if they were waiting on these to extend interview invites or if the timing is coincidental.
Does anyone remember what other schools want midyear grades? I remember reading this on some of the websites when I was applying but I can't remember where. My grades should be coming out soon, so now I have to go back and read the websites from every school I applied to.

You should stop while you can.
It is only out of resepect to your armed service to the United States of America that I tolerate your disrespect.
This is a joke, I presume?
-
My parents tell me whenever I talk to them that I will get in everywhere I applied to. I explained the acceptance rates to the programs I applied to, and they dismiss it as though all the other applicants are just applying because they were bored one day and don't have any qualifications.
Nope, still no invites.

If my GPA is .1 higher after this semester is it appropriate to send an updated transcript to the schools I applied to?
-
In case you're curious.. there's a whole movement to try and get STEM legally changed to STEAM (which adds Art and Design).
And it's proven that arts exposure actually leads to more STEM patents.
What would be the purpose of this? Why would you add Art to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics? It's an entirely different field.

Did you guys see what UNC posted?
Attention BBSP applicants: Admissions committees are still working their way through your applications. Some interviews have been scheduled, and invitations are going out weekly. If you haven't had an email specifically from the BBSP admissions office, that simply means your application is still under consideration.I wonder if this means people have been calling them like crazy. -
I completely agree to the above answer.
This is a thread from May and you replied just to say "I agree"?
How much student debt do you have?

0. And I really hope I don't end up accumulating any in grad school.
