I got offered a skype or attending the in-person. At first I thought I would just Skype, but now I think it might be worth making the trip, still undecided.
No dates are confirmed other than the official interviews are in Feb if I decide to go.
Ahh actually sorry I just checked, the email came from molecular bio sciences program not CMB specifically just saw chicago and reacted sorry. So don't panic you could still be in with a shot!
Some people have posted saying they have invitations to genome sciences on the survey page and earlier in the thread. I am international, and missed out also. O well.
