S.K.P.

Same....that's almost the first thing I do when I wake up  

Congrats to all you guys getting interviews.  I haven't heard from any of my programs yet. =/  But, last night I dreamt I got three conditional acceptances then failed to meet the conditions, and I woke myself up crying.  So much fun during finals.

I can't see why a professor would invite you to do graduate work with him if he wasn't sure you'd be invited. Congrats in advance!

Though, if I were in your position, I wouldn't get my hopes up just yet. Not because I don't think you'll be invited, but because it'll add to the surprise factor when you finally do get that invite. 

I got an interview at Princeton Molecular Biology!!!!!

I'm going to lock this thread temporarily. 
A a lot of people seem to need time to cool off, and I need time to sort through dozens of reports at a time when I'm not on my smartphone and not using the confocal. 
Take the evening and cool off. 

Been lurking this thread hard but wanted to share that I got an interview for Mt. Sinai for Biomedical Sciences!! I'm so impressed with how fast that was because I submitted my app on the 1st at like 3 PM EST. Good luck to everyone!

I got interview invites from U Chicago (Biomedical Science, CMMN), Vanderbilt (IGP) and Berkeley (Metabolic Biology) on Monday of this week. Submitted my application mid November but it wasn't complete (recommendations) until Nov. 28th. Still waiting to hear back from others!

Ditto. I did a master's, then got a cushy job in industry. It worked out-- I've been super happy. I hope I'll get in this time, but having been through it before I know life goes on. I still have a great job where I do real science (plus I currently make more than most post-docs, sighhh), and if I don't get in again, I may just stay in industry and eventually get an MBA. I really want to be a researcher (I wouldn't be giving up my salary and project if I didn't), but I'm closing in on 28 and I don't want to be a 35-year-old phd student. I feel like it's a win-win at this point. If I'm accepted, I get to go for a phd. If I don't, I already do cool science and have industry connections, I'll be ok.
So for you younger guys, it's gonna be fine! Hopefully you get in. If you don't, you'll feel devastated, but you'll figure it out. Hopefully I'm proof that experience and passion will eventually make up for mediocre grades.
