I never post here, but have had such a frustrating day due to this!!

So I got an honorable mention...Which would be fine, if it weren't for the fact that my reviews were E/E E/E E/E

Field was cognitive neuroscience.

I feel like they shouldn't have this ranking system if it doesnt actually mean anything in terms of outcomes -__________-

Just venting because I'm salty I guess. But I almost would have rather gotten a bad review. Because at least then it would make more sense. 

I'm a first year grad student so can't apply again next year either. Ugh

Same thing happened to me. All E/E E/E E/E in Life Sciences- Physiology. Honorable mention. I'm so disappointed.

 

Can anyone explain the Scores? I know that E is excellent, but what are the others (VG, G, etc.)?

Good luck everyone! Be back in April!

On a side note, has anyone who applied to NSF GRFP also applied to the Ford?

I am applying to the Ford! It's kind of a pain...why does everything need to be double spaced??!

So I thought pre-interview waiting was bad, but it turns out that post interview waiting is 1000x worse. 

I could not agree more. I am more stressed than ever now.

Just accepted to UCSD BMS! Most likely will end up there  , anyone else thinking of attending?

 

I also just heard back from another school that they plan to notify all applicants by April 11th...I really don't want to wait that long. 

 

Which school was that? That is terrible to make people wait until 3 days before the deadline.

I am waiting to hear back from stanford, and the wait is KILLING ME!

That's awesome! Have you been communicating with your faculty liaison?

 

Only a little bit! I met him last semester and we really hit it off, but I'm not sure what I am really supposed to ask him about before the interview! What do you think? Have you been in contact with yours?

ethanolllll I will be attending the same Jefferson interview days as you!

At this point no news is bad news right?  I'm wondering mainly about UCSF Tetrad.  Invitations were sent out before Christmas, as mentioned above, but there also haven't been any rejections sent out.  Does that mean the deadline for responding about the interview just hasn't passed yet, and they're sitting on the applications until then?

 

I am waiting to hear back from them too. According to my extensive research, all interviews have been sent out for Tetrad and we should be receiving rejection letters soon. But, you never know for sure! I saw one or two email invites that were sent out last year during the wave of rejection letters.

I got a Rockefeller interview!!! I love that place so much  i'm so excited!

Congratulations, that's awesome!!

There is no info about stanford Stem Cell Bio on the results page!

 

Has anyone heard back from UCSF Tetrad? Are they done sending out invites?

I have an interview at Stanford Biosciences!
