Anyone hear back yet from Microbiology programs at University of Washington or UC Davis? Their deadlines were Dec 15, so I imagine the applications are still being reviewed.
Just got an email from UC Davis today! Interview invite for Feb 5th & 6th. I'm already booked that weekend though so I asked them for an alternate date.
I still haven't heard anything from Washington.

Thank you! Congrats on your interview invites, too! When did you hear from Cornell Micro? I applied to that program but haven't heard anything yet.
Nevermind, ignore that. Just got the phone call and email from Cornell.
Unfortunately the interview weekend (Feb 5-8) conflicts with the weekend I already accepted for UW-Madison. -
Ah! Bummer for me, congrats for you!! Good luck!

Has anyone heard anything from Berkeley PMB? I don't see anything on the results search, but maybe people aren't reporting!
Yes, I got a phone call last week from a professor, and an email yesterday with an interview invite. The interview is Jan 22-25.

Both University of Wisconsin and Cornell are that same weekend (Feb 5th). My flight is already booked for Wisconsin, so I emailed Cornell and UC Davis to ask about alternate weekends and I am waiting to hear back from them.
