My worrying last night must have done the trick. I got the notification of admission this morning

Has anyone heard from Yale yet? I had a skype interview with some of the imaging faculty and it went well, but I still haven't heard anything yet. Anyone else in a similar situation?

I received an interview from Columbia. I know it is match-based, but does anyone have any idea about the percentage of people they invite to interview vs how many they offer admission. Thanks in advance!

I also got my rejection from HST as well.

I am applying to two PhD programs in Germany, so I understand the frustration with it not being so compatible with the US system. Luckily the one program has interviews in February so isn't too incompatible. In the other, the PI seems interested but I told him I will not be able to make a decision until March. What field are you applying in?

Hi Shahbaz, I would imagine that the admissions directors will take into consideration that you are not a native English speaker while evaluating your lower verbal and analytical writing GRE scores. Your profile looks very good otherwise. I am also applying to the MEMP program so maybe I will see you at interviews

Hi everyone, I'm applying to a few BME/BioE programs in addition to a few medical physics programs so I figured I'd put my profile down here. Undergrad Institution: Columbia University Major(s): Physics Minor(s): Mathematics GPA in Major: 3.87 / 4.00 Overall GPA: 3.83 / 4.00 Demographics/Background: White male I'm currently doing an MS so I'll include it too. Graduate Institution: University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Major: Medical Physics Graduate GPA: 3.70 / 4.00 GRE Scores: Q: 166 V: 159 W: 4.0 LOR: 2 solid, 1 good ( I guess?) Research Experience: 2 years working in MRI, 3 REU's in physics from undergrad Publications/Abstracts/Presentations: 1 First-Author Manuscript, 1 Second-Author Manuscript, 1 Sixth-Author in a book chapter Poster Presentations at 3 conferences Awards/Honors/Recognitions: A fellowship that paid for my master's / a few scholarships along the way Fellowships/Funding: None Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Research Assistant at a cancer hospital for 2 years Other Miscellaneous Accomplishments: I was a national champion wrestler back in high school (probably not too relevant) Research Interests: MRI (functional applications) Institutions/Programs: Harvard-MIT HST (MEMP) Penn (BioE) Yale (BME) Columbia (BME) Chicago (Med Phys) MD Anderson (Med Phys) DKFZ - in Germany (Med Phys) Comments: My didactic background in biology is a bit weak for bioE/BME programs. I'm hoping my research in cancer imaging can offset that, but I don't know. Good luck everyone
