I interviewed at BU Bioinformatics PhD
they certainly sent their first batch of acceptance last week, and they run an internal wait-list as to fill the spots
I have only two interview invites and they are in same day. School A is my #1 choice but I also don't want to give up on school B yet, what I should do with school B? Should I ask school B for alternative dates?
Reputation is not as important as hands on project.
I would not consider online programs since you will be unable to interact with mentors and join a research project.
Whether or not MS Bioinformatics is your terminal degree objective, you will need hands on project. I finished bioinformatics MS in DC area and I can tell you that many of my fellow classmates who did academia research project actually ended up working in industry. Where you do your internship is not as important as what you do in internship. PM me if you have additional questions.
I applied to ~20 top 50 institutions PhD in bioinformatics with okay stats, domestic applicant.
I have seen people start to post interview invites in the result section, but I have none so far.
Anyone know when do most school send out their majorities of interviews?
