    Nope. Sent a follow-up e-mail yesterday but have not heard anything. I did e-mail the coordinator the professors I wanted to interview with, so I'm guessing he's trying to figure out a schedule based on their availability!

    Alright, thanks. I imagine they're busy coordinating everything, but I will probably send a follow-up email tomorrow too just to confirm.

    Same here. I'm guessing many people have this problem since several interviews are that weekend and they notified us pretty late. The coordinator asked me if I was available a different weekend, so it's possible they might coordinate an alternate weekend depending on the our availability?

    Congrats btw! Unfortunately, I am booked during the late week/weekend time until late March so the alternate "weekend" wouldn't work too well. I'm trying to see if I can come in on a Monday because I don't have classes then and I'm only a 5-hour bus ride from the city. It's probably very dependent on when the faculty who showed mutual interest are available though, so we'll see. Visiting to see the fit is key and I would prefer an in-person interview over a skype interview if possible. These are good problems to have though! Congrats again!

    Was anyone else invited to the University of Pittsburgh's graduate recruitment weekend? Does anyone know how many people get to go?

    I am not sure how many people were invited but I will be going! Looking forward to seeing the city and meeting the faculty. Since scheduling interviews with faculty is first come first serve, I'm assuming a lot of individuals were invited. It's going to be fun!

    Got accepted to BME @ Rice! =D Very exciting! However, just like WashU in St. Louis, all of the open houses are scheduled during other times where I have already committed to an interview. I guess these are good problems though and I can skype with professors that are interested in doing research. I don't want to make a final decision though until I visit and see the fit, so maybe I'll have to visit on my own time.

    I called them today. The administrator I spoke with was very rude and she told me I don't need to do anything until I contact them again. 

    Thanks for checking. I'm sure they're just receiving a large influx of emails and calls and will likely get back to us sometime this week. This is probably a lot to coordinate for both sides.

    Hi everyone, I'm another 1st year BME PhD student at JHU that is part of the team coordinating this year's recruitment. 

    You will receive emails from myself and our Program Coordinator over the next few weeks that elaborate more on the issues you all brought up (and restate this information), but just to clarify for now:

    • Interview invites: Not all of the JHU BME PhD Interview emails have been sent out (apologies, but there are some administrative things things that will delay some emails). Do not worry if you have not heard anything yet. I can't elaborate on exactly what is holding up emails, because it could differ for each person 
    • Interview dates: The interview "weekend" dates are set (February 4th/5th and February 18th/19th). I believe one of the focus area groups requested that all of their students come to only one of the two interview weekends dates so you may have received a different email, but many of the details are still being finalized. I'm not sure if this will change.
    • Faculty Preference form: We just updated the form on the faculty preference website this morning. Apologies if you tried filling out the previous form. We want to begin coordinating faculty schedules with the interviewees as soon as possible so we cannot wait for you to have your flight information to fill out that form.
    • Faculty Preferences: We realize that not all of your preferred professors are on the provided list. If there are other professors you want to meet, list them in the additional comments section and just choose the top 6 otherwise. Make a note in the additional comments section about this. There can be several reasons as to why they are not listed, but this does not mean you cannot meet with them (I wouldn't suggest emailing them directly to ask about this at the current time. Let us see what we can do first. If you get your final faculty interview schedule and they are not listed, feel free to ask then). 
    • When will my faculty interviews be set? Potentially not until the week of your interview. Professor schedules are very fluid and we want any information we send to be as accurate as possible.
    • Flight/Transportation Information: I'm not sure when, but if you received an email inviting you to interview, you will, a few days after, get an email from a travel agent that will help coordinate your travel. DO NOT book your flights on your own. It makes reimbursements more difficult. 
    • Reimbursements (Speaking of...): You will be reimbursed for your flights and some other transportation needs. We are also providing transportation when you arrive in Baltimore, but you likely will not get the details on that part of transportation until the week of your interviews. 
    • Interviewee Forms to fill out: If you received an invite, please fill out faculty preferences asap. You will receive another email from myself once the travel agency finalizes your flights that will ask you to fill out flight information, food preferences/allergies, and other details that we will need to make your recruitment schedule a lot of fun (and so we can make sure you're not stranded when you get to Baltimore). 

    If you have any other questions, I wouldn't suggest spamming the Program Coordinator (she is currently working on fielding many emails from both interviewees and professors). Keep in mind that many of your questions will be answered in emails to come. We haven't yet emailed all of the details because we want to make sure the most accurate information is provided. :) 

    Message me directly if you have any other concerns/questions and I'll respond with as many details as I can be sure of.

    Very helpful! Thank you!

    It's on the bottom of the link that they sent with the list of professors. The dates in the form don't seem to be updated for this year though, last time I checked. 

    It looks updated now, as it shows arrival dates for the day before the interview dates. I'm guessing that we make travel arrangments ourselves, as there is a reimbursement form on the website for after we interview. 

    @tuckbroWhen you interviewed, did you arrive the day before the two interview dates? And did you stay for both days or just one? Thanks! Look forward to seeing some of you guys there! :D

    Hi guys, new to the forum. Also got invited to interview at JHU. Couldn't be more excited!

    Congratulations to everyone who got interviews at JHU. I received one as well. Potentially a very, very stupid question, but how do the travel arrangements work. Should I buy a plane ticket today, book hotels, etc. right now and then save all the receipts for reimbursements later? Or will JHU take care of things like the hotel on their end?

    I second this question. Coming from out-of-state, are we supposed to make travel arrangements are selves and fill out the preferences form? Or will they give us travel arrangements based on what dates we tell them? It was fairly vague with what they sent us.
