Who did you call? I can't reach anybody over there.

That's awesome. You think you'll go there?

It's my last shot at a PhD starting this year, so I'm not sure, I was just considering calling one of them and asking them questions about their aging program.

That's wonderful! Congratulations! When was your interview?

Thanks, you too!

Good idea, didn't think of that. i'll just wait and settle for sending them an updated transcript. Slightly boosted GPA ftw!

Neat. I'm looking for more in the meantime.

Would it be a bad idea to contact them after applying?

Gotcha. I've been contacting the grad coordinators of programs that rejected me and asking what I should do to improve my application. They're all pretty nice about it too, really helpful.

If we all get interviews at Einstein in march, I'm buying you both drinks. It would just be too incredible. What summer internships are you looking into? I recently applied to the German DAAD RISE Pro biotech one.

I sure hope so, it's the last round.

They're a Nathan Shock Center for excellence in aging research, exactly what I'm interested in.

I called them yesterday, they said that they are working on the third round of interviews which should be sent out in the next 2-3 weeks.

NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER SURRENDER!

Exactly!

Preach. Maybe Einstein will be our saving grace?

Thanks guys! Good luck to you both.

Oh no, they are rolling admissions, it's just that my application was denied.

Good luck!

CMB. They have a few Skype interviews left, but I highly recommend calling Tom Atchity to get an update, he's the guy who I've been talking to the whole time. Nice guy too, he's willing to help me out if I apply next year.

And just got called by Austin for another rejection. Come on Einstein, papa needs a new pair of shoes!

Called San Antonio, said they can't extend an interview, fudge.

Einstein is working on their 3rd wave of invites, should take 2-3 weeks.

Thanks, you too!

Yeah. Same email.
