Thank you. I think I may just wait for the rejection letter.

I'm a international applicant. I have applied 18 programs but I only got a interview invite from UIUC MCB and a skype interview from Rice but they put me on waitinglist. Checking email hundreds times a day without any news drives me crazy!! Does anybody know something about UW(biological physics,and design program), Columbia (biological science), Dartmouth (molecular and cellular biology), BU (biology) and Brown (molecular biology, cell biology and biochemistry) ? These are my top choices.

I think you can just try to focus on preparing how to express your current or previous research experience because the professor who will interview you could be one of the committee and takes charge of just international students. I got a Skype interview invitation from Rice and the situation is quite the same with you. Good luck~
