  1. Well if that's correct then they still have 15%of the invites left to send so maybe you'll be a part of that. Good Luck.
  2. Yes, I'm not sure if my reply to this posted earlier. I'm honestly gonna just give them til the end of January and count it as a probable rejection if I haven't heard back by then
  3. I tried the multi quote thing but I can't figure it out on my phone. I just called UNC and now they told me we should hear back by mid-January especially if we are getting an interview. So yeah no worries lol
  4. They sent an email saying that invites would be sent out the first week of January, I see a few people got early invites though I wonder if those were "unofficial" invites through a POI or something and not from the department
  5. Im actually worrying too, because I was told I'd hear back before the end of the week and nothing. I was starting to worry my application fell through the cracks but hopefully we hear back.
  6. No sorry, but you can just call. I'm sure they'll answer
  7. SO I don't know if anyone cares but I just called UC-San Diego for the Biological Sciences Ph.D. and was told all decisions should be made in the next couple days.
  8. No Problem, best of luck. I, unfortunately, will no longer be able to sleep until Saturday after hearing that the decisions are coming lol.
  9. I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I would have to say yes. Because if I recall the way BBSP works is you aren't applying to the Ph.D. programs in your first year just the general BBSP program, then after that first year you choose your Ph.D. program. Also, I told the lady who answered that I had applied to the BBSP and she didn't ask me to specify my programs in order to answer.
  10. I called today BBSP said good or bad we will hear by the end of the week
  11. So I've been doing some research on this topic, cause it may soon impact me, and I have heard different things. The first is that contract and temp jobs don't really count in the whole quitting before a year and second that even in jobs that do a lot of places say you get one freebie, then there are a bunch of negative opinions towards it. I know a lot of people who have left jobs in under three months when they got a position they really want and have just neglected to put the job they left on their resume. You'd just have to weigh the trade-off of being able to claim those eight or so months of experience against the fact that you might get a bad reference from your first boss. Crazy thought is your job close to any school you applied to, so that there's some way you can semi-finish the year out while actually in school, like on the weekends or something. Personally, I think the best move is to either defer if you don't have to go to PhD right now; or explain the situation probably completely honestly and hope your boss understands. Though you could always say something like you had no intentions to apply when you first got the job but you were sent a fee waiver from the school and decided to apply on a whim and ended up actually being accepted and have now decided to go. I know last year Notre Dame sent me a fee waiver to their grad school last minute so I just decided to say why not and send off an application so there is precedence. Honesty is probably the best policy though because once you start lying the whole thing can just blow up in your face.
  12. Congrats. I have comparable GRE scores and a 2.77 ugpa, no pubs and 3 years research as well. I also applied to Iowa State just for BCB instead, maybe we will see each other there lol
  13. You could always use a virtual machine like Virtual Box that's what I do for windows and Linux on my Mac
  14. Lol I just got a free months trial of Netflix and haven't been able to watch any of the popular shows until now so, I'm going to binge watch them all starting now. Hopefully this works, I'm also still trying to get a job so I have other matters to worry about. Good luck though
