Does anyone know if Yale BBS has send out all their interview invites? What about Harvard BBS, I've seen people here saying Harvard BBS sent out all invites today already? 

Anyone heard back from Duke developmental and stem cell biology?  

I emailed the coordinator of Yale BBS. She said interviews have not been sent but will be in the next 2-4 weeks.

Good luck.

I got a call a few days ago from a POI there with an interview invite, but they still haven't sent me the official email. She said that it would probably happen late next week or between christmas/new years. I imagine that's when all of them will be released!

Congratulations!!! That's great!!

The wait gets longer and longer!!

They haven't released all of the invites for today, as far as I know! But I think today is the only day for BBS

Its 3:25 PM,EST. I am only hoping for a miracle, lol.

I tried contacting Yale BBS.The admin said, they haven't sent out interviews yet and we shall expect interviews in the next 2-4 weeks. I really feel a bit jittery now.

Pretty disappointed with Harvard BBS 'rejection'. Have been working for 2.5 years full time as post-doc in Harvard/MGH. LoRs were from Chair of Department and Associate Professors(all MGH). I am soon starting to loose my confidence.

Do they send any invites later or is today the final day?
