Seeing the MIT invites roll in from the survey has left me hyperventilating. My heart seems to be racing, eyes are watering, and I'm feeling all feverish inside. I know I probably won't make it, but at this point of time I just hope they send me a rejection email.

Also, I can't even explain what happens to me every time the phone vibrates. I'm pretty much cursing at every person who's sending me an email right now other than MIT. No I don't want your credit card, no I don't want your discounts, no I'm not getting groceries on the way back fuck off everyone 

I keep checking the e-mail and application status every 10 min. Sometimes I think the mobile is becoming the part of my body....the whole winter break was spent on thinking about the applications..

Hello everyone! Has anyone heard about UWisconsin-Madison Cellular and Molecular Pathology program? I saw some interview invites in the survey in the mid-December. Application status is still "pending". I e-mailed the grad coordinator asking about the status quo of the admission process, but didn't receive any answer. 

I have a feeling that they just forgot to update my status... I just want to receive my rejection letter and enjoy the end of the winter break gooooooosh 

P.S. I'm international student 

[Advice on putting POI in my SOP]

Hello everyone. Happy Holidays and congrats everyone who is receiving invitations

i'm applying for the first time and wonder whether I should indicate POI in my essay. I have recently contacted POI and asked about his research. In short, we had quite lengthy conversation. Also I asked whether he recruits new graduate students for Fall 2016, he said that he may take students to his lab after the lab rotations only. 

So can you advice me whether I should indicate him in my SOP? I mean applications are reviewed by other committee members as well, so I'm afraid it could negatively affect my application (they may ask something like: "why doesn't she want to work with me?" or something like this)

thanks in advance.

I would not email them, just wait for them to get back to you.  decisions can occur anytime from right after application deadline all the way up into april.

I saw posters in the gradcafe website where applicants had already received invitations to the interview from the programs I applied, so I was so nervous so much I e-mailed them before you replied  anyway that was a polite letter, let's see. I don't think they won't consider my application because of this letter, but omg who knows...

Hello everyone. I'm international applicant and wondering whether internationals receive invitations later than domestic applicants. Do you think it's annoying to e-mail them about my application status? I think they did not update it.
