Hello everyone! Noticed this thread has been pretty vacant for a while but I'll be starting in Cancer Bio this fall

I found this Quora thread very helpful: https://www.quora.com/When-declining-an-offer-of-admission-to-a-PhD-program-is-it-better-to-give-an-explanation-for-the-decision-or-to-keep-things-short tldr: keep it short.

I've ghosted this forum due to being busy - despite being fairly active at first - but I just wanted to swoop back in and say congratulations to everyone on the very busy past two months (and to those who are still interviewing also... I'm pretty sure there are a few??) I met so many amazing people on interviews, no doubt some who have been helpful and active in this thread; it is honestly such an interesting experience! The next month is going to be difficult to make decisions, but I know regardless of that by April 15 we'll all be heading amazing places. Good luck to all and many happy wishes! Hope to see you all at conferences / in the news down the line

Late to the party, but Stanford Cancer Bio! Screamed when I got the email. Congrats to everyone! Whee that's so great! I'm nervous for my first one next week. Glad it went so well for you!!

You are WONDERFUL, this is it!! I just trawled through like 20 pages of the forum to no avail because I couldn't remember where it was - but it was fun to look through all of the pre-December first posts also Thanks so much, @biotechie !

Joining the list of those hyperventilating about Stanford Cancer Bio. *screams* By the way, those of you more connected with thegradcafe's past forums - I remember there being a link to a super helpful megapost about dos and don'ts at interviews a while back. Would someone mind linking that again? I'd really appreciate it! <3

Congrats guys! Yeah it sucks that there are only so many weekends between now and April 15... But I hope it works out for you!

I just called UW MCB and UCSF Tetrad. Both programs aren't done sending out interview invites yet, but UW is interviewing from 1/27-1/30 and from 2/10-2/13... and UCSF is interviewing on 1/29 and 2/25 (no date ranges given)! Hope this helps anyone who is still twiddling their thumbs

Thank you!

UC Irvine CMB response today - interview weekends are Jan 21-22 and Feb 4-5!

This is probably not helpful but I haven't heard anything from UCSF yet so this is a bit of a follow up question also... Does anyone know if TETRAD has finished sending out interview invites? if not i wouldn't be surprised if the email was a preliminary one for accepted interviews and more details will come later as they solidify things...

Congratulations!!!! Go Maroon idk if this has already been said, but my app says the same thing - I read into it a little closer though, and it says somewhere at the top that they only need your unofficial transcript for the initial review process and will use the official one later on in the time of acceptance...

Does anyone have any idea of TETRAD interview dates? I have fallen into the familiar pit of checking the survey incessantly (again) and haven't really found any indication.

Ah cool! Good to hear.. It'd be great to have a somewhat stress free christmas
