Has anyone heard back from NIH-OxCam yet?

Does anybody know if interviews have been sent already for the NIH GPP programs? Specifically Oxford-Cambridge or the Karolinska partnership?

Microbiology

Hey! It's probably different by department, but I have a UNC BBSP interview January 26-28

Does anybody know when Harvard PhD programs through the school of public health start releasing interview invitations, or when interview weekends are in 2017?

I received an invitation on Friday for the home program I applied to. However, as you said, admissions are home program-based and this is clarified in the email as well. Stanford Biosciences has one single umbrella program interview weekend (March 2-4), but decisions for each respective home program have not all necessarily been finalized yet.

I'm curious about biological sciences invitations as well. My application status has been "awaiting consideration by department" for the past 2 months, then suddenly on Thursday it changed to "under consideration by department." This makes me a little skeptical that they even processed my Gates-Cambridge application to begin with, if it's true that it is only being looked at now. I didn't have any outstanding forms or anything, and submitted everything well before the October 12 deadline. I do have a dual citizenship and I'm wondering if for some reason I have been filed as an international applicant instead of a US one for Gates, but my entire work and educational history should make my US primary citizenship clear, and I'm pretty sure I had to indicate a "primary" and "secondary" citizenship on the Cambridge app. Of course I could easily just not have received an interview, which statistically is much more plausible anyway! I'd love to know if any biologists have received interview invitations thus far.

Has anybody found interview date(s) for Harvard School of Public Health PhD programs? i.e. Biological Sciences in Public Health, Population Health Sciences, etc?

Congratulations on your interview!

NIH OxCam: February 15-17

Has UNC BBSP started sending out invitations? Microbiology in particular?

I applied for a BBSRC PHD at Cambridge, and for a Gates-Cambridge about a week before the October 12 deadline. My self-service account still says my application is "Awaiting Consideration by Department." Does anyone else applying for a Gates-Cambridge still have this too? I feel like my application should have been viewed by my department by now, whether I am rejected or invited to interview. Is self-service not really an accurate depiction of what's going on in real time?

Same here but for a different institution (Emory). I am in the US. Would love to know what can be covered in 15 short minutes!

I'll start: microbiology and public health, infectious disease drug and drug target discovery through natural product profiling and genomics

Let's distract ourselves from the admissions anxiety and remember why we got here: what are everyone's research interests for grad school?

Hello! I know this was 6 years ago and you're probably even done with your PhD by now, but if you're still there what was the timeline for Georgetown GID admissions? Super eager about that program and dying to know when I might expect to hear back.

Yes sorry I was in fact referring to comp bio, thanks!

Anyone know when CMU-Pitt starts sending out interview invites?

I got an email for a Skype interview next week is that what you got, or did you get a full-on interview invite?

Hello! I applied for a BBSRC PhD as well as a Gates-Cambridge. Anyone know what the Biological Sciences timeline is like, both for general admissions and for the Gates-Cambridge?
