  1. Officially committed to Vanderbilt IGP. Excited to see they moved one up to #14 this year. Opened up waitlist spots for Sinai CAB and Emory CB. Hope they pulled someone off the waitlist who really wants to go!
  2. Not yet. I still have Vanderbilt coming up so I will decide after. Leaning towards Mount Sinai at the moment.
  3. Thank you! This is more than grad school acceptance for me as an international student This is like I CAN STAY IN THE US CARD!
  4. Yes! I got a call from Anna Kenney yesterday. She said official decisions won't be coming out before next week but she just wanted to let me know early or something.
  5. I got an acceptance email from Mount Sinai yesterday. Personal email from Cancer MTA co-director this morning. Also got a call from Emory yesterday. It's been a good week so far. Good luck to everyone who's still waiting!
  6. Don't worry too much about the PIs research you're interviewing with. Know your stuff! they will ask you to go on and on about your research without asking detailed questions and it will look bad if you don't have a like a prepared speech that is at least 3-5 minutes long. Be comfortable, be yourself and don't be afraid to ask questions. You're not the only one being interviewed. You are also interviewing the PI and the school and making sure it's the right fit for you. So don't be afraid to ask like oh is this project available or are you recruiting graduate students right now or how often do you have lab meetings etc. It looks good to be interested in the details of how the lab functions and they want to make sure that it's a right fit for you.
  7. Not true. 90 interviewees for 40 spots but they will accept ~60-70 to ensure 40 people come. I'm like 100% sure I got in but I guess we'll see.
  8. Rejected from Yale. Oh well. Chilling in NYC hotel room right now Mount Sinai tomorrow morning. Good luck to other applicants!

  10. But I'll be traveling 3 days prior to the interview so I won't be able to prep. I feel like schools should be more responsible and let you know who you are interviewing with weeks before.
  11. Has anyone heard from Mount Sinai about the 6 faculty members we'll be interviewing with? The interview is in 9 days and I still haven't received any information..
  12. Just received an interview at Vanderbilt as well!
  13. Does anyone know if Vandy or Yale are still sending invites? Also Mt. Sinai is coming up in 10 days... I haven't prepped!
  14. Business formal is a pant suit. I'd expect that from medical school and MSTP interviews. I'm planning on wearing a button down shirt (white or light blue), a grey pencil skirt and either a matching blazer or a black blazer matching black heels. Dressing professionally is such a hassle but honestly it makes me feel so much more self confident. Even if you are a very sporty person and don't usually dress professionally, it shows respect for the people you're interviewing with that you went an extra mile and outside of your comfort zone to dress well and blend in.
