waiting to hear from washu dbbs & uw Madison cancer bio... washu was just this past weekend but thought I'd hear from uw Madison by now...
 
:edit:
just heard from washu - I've been accepted to the dbbs mcb program!

accepted to emory's cancer bio program!

accepted to emory's cancer bio program!

2 interviews down, 1 to go, no word from any of the schools otherwise except a reject from NW
 

Not biochem, cancer. haven't received faculty list yet though.
got it. honestly though, anything to do at this point, besides quietly understand we've been rejected? Any e-mail to adcom or anything? Frankly if you're not accepted, nothing can hurt at this point right?
see you there!

You won't get anything out of pressing them. From a logistical sense, it makes sense that you send all rejections together after the interview to just send one massive batch instead of "personalized" rejections after you're out of the running. I don't really see it as a coward's approach at all, but I can see how it's annoying to not know. However, a school can never make assumptions about the yield they'll have in a given cycle, so it makes sense to keep people in standby rather than revoking premature rejections. It's unlikely, if not unprecedented, that they recur to this, which is why not getting an interview is equivalent to a rejection, but I'm just saying it's understandable. 
Also, UChicago's interview last year was in early Feb and interviews came out in December, so I would say it's more than likely your friend got rejected. I don't know how they conduct Skype interviews though.

yea no idea...I'm international but live and study in the USA, so I'm not sure what I'm considered as for their purposes

ditto - I def did not get any invite, Skype or otherwise, from upenn... sigh.
saw you put u Chicago as doomed - did you ever hear from them?
So far now, I've been invited to Wisconsin Madison, Emory, and WashU, and never heard a peep from Northwestern, UPenn, and UChicago...

not sure, just somewhere in the u Chicago phd app site
that's what I've heard as well
according to upenn, applications are still under review. invitations are sent out in December and January. probably a small number if any that are in that secondary batch though I'm guessing?

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

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

They sent the same email last year, but invites started coming out late Dec (12/27 I believe). This probably doesn't help reduce the stress, but hopefully some of you will find the info useful.
