Yes I am starting MCB in the Fall!!! My email is bb9931@wayne.edu if any of you MCB folk wanna get a hold of me .

Going to Dartmouth MCB!!! Lemme know people who decide to go there, would be nice to talk to the other incoming first years. Applied: Harvard, BU, Tufts(Sackler Immuno), MIT, WashU, NYU, Columbia, Albert Einstein, Dartmouth, Umiami Interviews: Tufts, Umiami, Dartmouth, Einstein Attending: DARTMOUTH!!!

I'm going to Dartmouth I loved it! They were so fun and nice.

Thought I'd update on who I have heard from just in case people want to know where people are interviewing. Applied: Harvard, BU, Tufts, MIT, Columbia, NYU, Albert Einstein, Umass, Dartmouth, Umiami Interviews: Tufts, Albert Einstein, Dartmouth, Umiami (first one this week) Accepted:??? Reject (BOOO): Harvard, Columbia, Umass, MIT No Reply: BU, NYU

Damn you already have a PhD and getting a 2nd one...impressive

Has anyone heard from NYU (molecular onc and immunology?). Also wondering if people have heard from Tufts Immunology that are not Massachusetts residents. Thanks.

Wow did anyone get an interview at Umass Worcester Cancer Bio? I was rejected there too...oh well hopefully the Dartmouth interview goes well and I go there .

I appreciate the sarcasm...clearly blatant flattery is the way to get everything . I did indeed contact various labs, however not all responded and many of the emails were very brief (don't want to annoy). I plan on reading some papers of my interviewers when I actually interview so that I can converse with them about their research etc... I'm hoping to either be at Dartmouth, BU, or Tufts Sackler I think they are probably my top 3 at this point (assuming that I get rejected from Harvard!)

Does anyone know when programs generally let you know if you are accepted or not post interview? My first interview is one of my top choices (18th of Feb), so I was curious if programs typically let you know right away or if they wait awhile before offering acceptances. I'm sure this differs by school, but I'd like to know.

Ah well I contacted Einstein and they interview into March, I spoke to a friend of mine last year and said most programs reply during February, with the fast programs replying in Jan. I have a few interviews so I'm not super paranoid, but it would be nice to hear back from the 5 or so programs that I haven't heard from.

Yea I have not yet heard from Einstein or NYU. Einstein's deadline was sometime in January, that might be why they are taking awhile to respond.

I meant Boston University Immunology (thru division of grad medical sciences)

Just got rejected from MIT microbiology (in case others applied and wanted to know if they are replying). Still have yet to hear from 6 and very nervous, I REALLY want a BU and or Tufts interview. My partner is moving to the east coast for residency and so far my only interview remotely close to boston is Dartmouth. Hopefully I hear from BU or Tufts soon, I'm thinking Tufts is going to be a rejection but I'm really hoping it isn't.

Thanks for the reassurance, to be honest Dartmouth is probably in my top 3 so I'd be thrilled to get in hopefully that interview goes well. I'll feel better if I can get at least 2 more east coast, my boyfriend is doing his residency out there and I would prefer to be in the east rather than at Miami (my only other interview).

So I just received a rejection from cancer biology at Umass, after a very exciting 2 days of getting Dartmouth MCB and Umiami. I thought after Dartmouth I'd get a few more interviews, but now I'm kinda worried I sort of thought I'd get an interview at Umass. Is anyone else finding this process rather random? The other 7 schools to which I applied are Columbia, NYU, Einstein, MIT, BU, Tufts, and Harvard. I suppose I hope I manage to get at least 2-4 more interviews, I'm going to be very nervous if I only end up getting 2 and one of them is Dartmouth.
