Has anyone heard back from UCLA's Biosciences umbrella program? I interview Jan. 19-20th, 2018. The home area directer emailed me saying a formal decision won't be available until after the second recruitment date (Feb. 19th, 2018) but that my reviews are pretty positive.

You're probably right. Thanks for the heads up!

I'm not sure. I just emailed the department today asking when interview invitations would be sent out. I'm confused now because another replier has stated that interview invites have already been sent out.

I emailed the department today asking when they were going to give out recruitment invites and they replied with the following: Dear Cottagecheese24, The Admissions Committee is meeting next Wed, January 10 to make the final decisions. Invitations for a recruitment visit will go out on Thursday and Friday of next week. Thank you for your inquiry. Best,

If anyone is curious, UC Berkeley's Molecular and & Cell Biology graduate program will be sending out recruitment invites next week on Thursday & Friday (Jan. 11-12, 2018).

I just got a reject email from Columbia Integrated Biosciences.

I believe they are doing rolling admissions. I've also applied to Rice SSPB but a day before the deadline (December 23rd, 2017). Hoping I hear from them soon! Thanks for letting us know and congrats!

Already? The deadline was December 24th. If you don't mind me asking, when did you submit your application?

Thank you so much! I have also seen some early interview invites after searching the Gradcafe results. But yes, I suspect they might also be "unofficial".

Is UC Berkeley's Molecular and Cell Biology Phd program still sending out invites? University of Colorado, Boulder Biochemistry program sent me an invite about an hour ago.

Hello everyone, What are the chances of being accepted to a Biology/Biochemistry program after being interviewed? I'm asking because I have an interview for UCLA Biosciences BBSB, NYU Biology, and UCI CMB. Also, how do I prepare for interviews? Thank you very much for your responses!

Just got interview invites from UCI Molecular and Cellular Science and UCLA Biosciences-Biochemistry, Structural & Molecular Biology!

With an invitation for an interview? Oh man! Do you know whether that's it for interviews?

Thank you so much! Just have to remain patient.

Hello everyone, has anyone heard about NYU's Biology PhD program or UC Berkeley Molecular and Cell Biology PhD program? Haven't heard from any of the 11 schools I applied to. Thanks!

I don't know but I'm starting to panic, too. I applied to 13 schools in total. Have you gotten any interviews yet?

Just got a rejection email from Cornell BMCB. Does anyone know when NYU Biology program will be sending out invites? Same with UC Berkeley's Molecular and Cell Biology program? Freaking out because I haven't gotten a single interview yet
