happy new year all! hope we all start hearing from schools again this week! just waiting to hear from uchicago-cancer here

judging from his sig, looks like microbiology - still not cancer yet though, whew

Interesting - did not know that - though i'm not sure that applies to cancer, but still disconcerting to hear. just yesterday - got a text, then an e-mail yesterday, around 5pm CST? A little relieved to hear no one's heard from U Chicago yet. From their apps though, sounded like a very who-do-you-know kind of program

heard from emory as well, for the cancer bio - so for me that makes - washu mcb - invited u Wisconsin-Madison - invited emory - invited northwestern cancer - assuming rejected upenn cancer - assuming rejected UChicago cancer - no word still holding hope for the Chicago schools, still haven't heard anything from anyone about them. surprised more people didn't apply to Wisconsin Madison - I thought it was one of the top programs, is it not?

how so? FYI, i also haven't heard anything from uchicago

likewise applied to UPenn's Cancer Bio program - I haven't heard anything yet - should I wait until tomorrow and call and see if they've sent out all the invites? Any harm in doing so either way? One frustrating aspect of this is, if you don't get an interview, obviously you won't be accepted. But they (any of the schools) don't tell you then and there that you won't be accepted, and just wait until they're practically done with admissions before letting you know.

Saw you're applying for Cancer Bio & are from Chicago - did you apply to U Chicago's program, and have you heard anything from them if you have?

can there be a separate locked thread that lists all the confirmed programs that have offered interviews

any word yet from anyone for u Chicago or emory for the cancer bio programs? still only heard from waahu and Wisconsin Madison, applied to u Penn and northwestern as well but sounds like i wasn't selected

cancer here. no word

just got the email for washu cancer too!!

cancer, molecular cellular

anyone heard from washu or uchicago yet? received an invite from wisconsin madison, but did not hear from penn or northwestern... all for cancer

(1) PI, (2) the professor I TA for currently, and (3) probably my faculty mentor. I am applying to UIC Rush as a "back up" but I'm not sure if I'd rather do a "lower-tier" PhD or a higher-tier masters and then reapply for a higher end PhD. I'll make the push if I have a shot, just want to know if I do. I see a lot of people here that have amazing research experience, but I just didn't connect with as productive of a PI as I'd hoped. I think at this point I really need to start researching professors and perhaps reaching out to some of them?

Hi all, hoping to get some feedback on this - please let me know if my goals are reasonable. Thank you!
