Good to know. I applied to the Human Genetics program and haven't heard anything yet. I tried to contact them through email about my status and have not heard back at all.. I just had a wonderful interview day at Tufts...but I can always use a couple more interviews...

Has anyone heard from NYU (Molecular Oncology & Immunology) , U Chicago, Columbia?

Anyone heard from the following schools yet? Columbia - Nutrition U of Chicago - Human Genetics Rockefeller NYU - Immuno & Oncology

Yes. I got an invite for either the 5th or the 26th. Don't know if different departments have different dates though. I applied for the Genetics program.

Just got an email invite from Tufts Genetics for the Feb interview. Still haven't heard from the other schools yet. Anyone applying to the Genetics program in Tufts?

All of you have excellent stats...makes me feel like my chance of acceptance is terribly low. Ok..so here are my embarrassing stats: College: University of Kansas (B.S.) GPA: 3.94 major in Genetics and minor in Japanese (Graduated with highest distinction and departmental honors) Grad school: University of Kansas Medical Center (M.S.) GPA: 3.98 in Nutrition ( I finished the 2 year program in 1 year , but it's non-thesis) GRE: 740Q/ 440V / 41% Writing No GRE subject test Research experiences: I participated in a honor research project. It involved conducting independent research on mapping a canal gene in C. elegans. I wrote a thesis and presented the project to the honors committee. For my Master's program, I participated in a nutritional immunological research which involved developing an assay to test the immune responses of patients who have been receiving parenteral nutrition for an extended period of time. No thesis , but wrote a proposal and description of my research. Also defended it in front of the committee. Working experiences: Been teaching throughout college and graduate school as teaching assistant. Worked as a research assistant in grad school. After graduation, I worked at a blood bank as a laboratory technician for 7 months. LORs: Two of them are from my research mentors. I am sure they are great. The other one is from my work supervisor from the blood bank. It's probably not great..but shouldn't be too bad neither. And I am an international student. Schools I applied to: Columbia (Nutrition) NYU (Molecular Oncology and Immunology) Tufts (Sackler Genetics) Rockefeller Chicago (Human Genetics) Haven't heard from any of the schools yet. I know that my stats aren't great..but I was hoping to at least get some interviews.... Waiting is the longest and most painful process... Hopefully I will hear something soon. Anyone can shed some light on my situation?

Congrats!! I also applied to Rockefeller but haven't heard anything yet. I wish they can just tell me ..be it good or bad news... Did you get an interview from them before they sent you the package?
