That sounds awesome! This is something that I think is really important in a grad program. Did you pick up any interesting tidbits like the post-interview acceptance rate, expected incoming class size, etc? Also, jackets will be fine? I don't really own jackets in the plural but it's been suggested to me that I get a down jacket, is this the sort of jacket that you mean?

Good to hear! You were in MCO, right? How were your actual interviews? How was the weather? I'm heading there next weekend and I'm from Arizona so this is a big deal for me.

Did anyone here attend the first Harvard MCO interview weekend this weekend? How was it?

Musicalscientist, do you know anything about Colombia Biological Sciences? How was your interview? I applied there (submitted on Dec. 1st), and didn't get an interview invite yet, but when I emailed them they said that they hadn't sent out all of them yet, that there was another interview weekend in March. They said they would send them out in about two weeks exactly two weeks ago.

Just in case anyone else applied to Colombia Biological Sciences and is interested: "This year, for the first time, we have two interview weekend dates, one is January 26-27 where interviews would take place January 27, the other is March 7-8 where the interviews would take place March 7. Invitations for the January interview dates have already gone out. We have not started inviting for the March date yet. I expect we would in about 2 weeks." Hope is not lost!

Has anyone here heard from Columbia Biological Sciences department? I see one interview on the results page... based on last year's dates, it looks like they send them out over a pretty long period of time, but I was wondering if anyone had information from this year in particular.
