  1. Interview invite this morning 1/3 Duke Biochemistry. Available dates- Feb 9-12 and Feb 23-26
  2. Would it be bad to call/email the BMB coordinator about interview decisions? I remember someone asking a similar question about calling etiquette but i can't find it.
  3. Same an email that said my status had been changed.
  4. I know it's not part of CAMB but do you know if BMB sent out invites? I haven't seen anything on the survey yet but in past years they seemed to have released invites between the 14-18th of December.
  5. You got an interview invite at Duke for Biochemistry? What were the interview dates? I wonder if I didn't make the cut to get interviewed
  6. I heard back last week, but it was biochemistry.
  7. Anyone hear from UPenn BMB (Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics)?
  8. I dont have like concrete evidence they do or dont, but judging off of survey and the emails I think its by program. I got a general email from DBBS followed by a program specific email. I know someone else also got a washu biochem invite on here the same day as me.....dont know how much that helps.
  9. Anyone know/have stats on interviewed students at WashU in St Louis for DBBS and the acceptance rate post-interview? They don't seem to list those stats on their website.
  10. Did anyone realize that they said a different school name on one of their personal statements?-asking for a friend. But in all seriousness. If I wrote "I'm excited about the opportunities at school A" but I wrote it on school "X's" statement is there a chance I could still get an interview
  11. Thanks! Crossing my fingers now hoping to hear back

  13. OMG OMG OMG WASHU in st louis BIOCHEMISTRY DBBS interview invite by email!!!!
  14. None of my programs have even released interview invites yet except Vanderbilt. Ugh. Congrats to everyone hearing back
  15. There is a pdf showing all interview weekends for upenn
  16. Thanks! That made me feel better, and then worse haha. A week to wait for the inevitable
  17. Starting to regret waiting till december 1st to submit most of my apps sigh.
  18. Same here!! That earlier post freaked me out
  19. Haha my screen name is actually a reference to my favorite Twitch Streamer (Hi Im Gosu) and my IGN. But that's my issue too. So much free time now
  20. When did you hear back from Upenn as far as an interview invite? I was doing so well keeping myself busy with lab and league of legends until today actually hit. The wait begins...... GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!
  21. Is my list a little to top heavy? Am I competitive at all? I know that my GPA is a huge red flag being pretty low. However I worked 20 hours a week, did 15 hours a week of research and took 18-20 credits my last two years of undergrad so that I could finish before my scholarship ran out. Pretty much overloaded myself. However, I have done some pretty impressive research and took time off after undergrad to really situate myself and also to let the work I do in the lab speak for itself. All of my recommenders say I'm there top or top 3 student researcher they have had (and each has been in research over 20 years so it's a big sample size) Hoping my GRE and LOR's out weigh my GPA. Wondering if I should add any schools to my list? I'm interested in cancer and metabolism and want to do a PhD in Biochemistry. Undergrad Institution: Small State School, EastMajor(s): BiologyMinor(s): NAGPA in Major: 3.1Overall GPA: 3.3Position in Class: Type of Student: Domestic, male, urmGRE Scores (revised/old version):Q: 164V: 160W: 5B: n/aResearch Experience: 1 summer-Johns Hopkins SURE, 1 Year Johns Hopkins SOM Research on penile nerve degeneration after radical prostatectomy, 1.5 years research at home institution developing a triple transgenic mouse model of prostate cancer (western blots, southern blots, PCR, mouse husbandry/surgery), 1 summer developing an in vitro assay for detecting O-GlcNAc modified proteins (expressed and purified GST tagged proteins, mass spec)->one publication from this (4th author, mid tier journal), 1 year of research using CRISPR/Cas9 in P. falciparum to generate an inducible knockdown of a protein (gibson assembly, PCR, plasmid expression and purification, CRISPR/Cas9, Western blot), 2 years of using CRISPR/Cas9 to make an inducible knockdown protein and full gene deletion in C. elegans and proteomics using newly made strains (Western blot, PCR, Gibson assembly, Protein expression and purification, C. elegans injection, mass spec)Awards/Honors/Recognitions: School Honors Program and MARC Scholar. Partial tuition scholarship, INRO scholarPertinent Activities or Jobs: Tutored Organic Chemistry 1 for a semester, Communications Chair in undergraduate Leadership organization, 1 publication doing scientific coverage for a conference. Worked a part time job 20 hours a week for last two years of undergrad as a gameroom manager. Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: I have 150 hours volunteering in a cancer center with kids, and 100 hours of general community service at homeless shelters and with underserved inner city children doing STEM outreachSpecial Bonus Points: My current PI is really well known in my field. I'm mainly applying to places with labs that do similar studies (metabolism, cancer, ptm's)Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: I will have a 3 year gap since graduating undergrad where I have been doing full time research when summer 2017 comesApplying to Where: University of Pennsylvania (BGS/Biochemistry and Biophysics) Washu in St Louis (DBBS, Biochemistry) University of California, Berkeley (Molecular and Cell Biology) University of Chicago(Molecular Biosciences (Biochemistry) Georgetown University (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology PhD Program) University of Virginia (Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics PhD ) Arizona State University (Biochemistry/Biological Design PhD) University of Arizona (Biochemistry PhD Program) (Biomedical Sciences (Cancer Biology)) Stanford (Biochemistry) University of California, San Francisco (Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program) University of California, San Diego (Biology (Salk Institute)) Georgetown University (Biochemistry) Duke University (Biochemistry, Duke School of Medicine)
