  1. Got an interview at Mount Sinai Cancer Biology! Hoping to get a few more interviews (fingers crossed) by the end of next week.
  2. Did anyone receive Emory's Cancer Biology program invites yet?
  3. Ahhhh people have gotten invites from Vanderbilt IGP and Emory, I still haven't received an email from either
  4. Hey, sorry about this, but does anyone know how I can add the whole applied, rejected, interview, etc thingy that you guys have at the bottom of your comments?
  5. Apparently Cornell BCMB sends out invitations to internationals in February That's just so late. I applied to Cancer Biology in Emory, didn't get any invite yet. Wasn't their deadline on Dec 1st, how did you get an invite so early?
  6. Is that Michigan State?
  7. Did anyone get an interview offer from any schools yet?
  8. Yeah, I know I don't have AS MUCH research experience as the others here, which is why I am doing a Master's at the moment. Wouldn't that count for something? Especially since its in big name Ivy League college and such, I thought that would cover up some of the shortcomings of my application
