^ Is your Emory interview next week or later in Feb?

If this was for me, I'm going for the rescheduled cancer bio date in March!

Anyone else not get an interview or rejection from UNC BBSP?  Would appreciate at least some closure, as I am waiting in limbo land on 4 programs with ~Dec 1 application deadlines.

Same here--checked my spam/promotions/application profile, and there's nothing.

Would love to hear how the first weekend of cancer biology interviews at Emory went! When are they sending out the first round of invites for you guys?

I would like to know as well! I know on their website it said they would be reviewing applications every Monday and sending out interviews on a rolling basis and I believe by March 15th they would have all interview invites out.

I know the NGP sent out their first round and anyone that hadn't gotten a rejection or interview is on hold until their first round of interviews are done, but I don't know if that is the same thing for the IGP.

As far as I know, the latest interview weekend they offer for IGP is 2/9 (they may have a later date, but that was the latest of four that I know of). Hope that helps and you hear something soon! Vandy's other IGP dates are 1/19, 1/26, and 2/2.

[When to Inquire about Application Status?]

While it appears that most interviewees have been contacted for UNC BBSP and Michigan PIBS (assuming those are the programs you've applied to), the very latest dates from years past are early-mid January. I haven't scoped out the other schools since I didn't apply, but you can go to the grad cafe results sections and search each school to see when they've sent invitations in the past.

Does anyone know the other interview date(s) for UNC BBSP? I'm hesitant to schedule another interview weekend for February 1-3, just in case, because that's the only UNC date I've seen so far.

Anyone interviewing for Vandy QCB (or in my case QCB and IGP) next weekend (Jan 12-13), feel free to DM me!

Anyone else running into the same issue of having Emory Cancer biology interview date conflict with another interview they said yes too. They said they "might" give skype interviews instead to people who can't make it, but maybe if there were enough people we could ask to attend another GDBBS date.

 

I'm in the same boat. They said they're looking at the possibility of skype interviews, but nothing about an alternate weekend. A little ridiculous that they only have one date when they're contacting applicants later in the game.

I e-mailed a PI from Michigan, since we'd talked extensively before I applied, and he said their PIBS program received a higher than usual number of applicants listing CMB as their first choice, making it more competitive this year. Hoping for good news for everyone else this week, and congratulations to those who made the cut!

Keeping an eye on my phone in case University of Michigan PIBS decides to call me. Seems like they call instead of emailing. Any updates on UMich, UNC BBSP, Baylor College of Medicine, or Vanderbilt IGP? 

I'm an RA at Vandy, also applying to IGP and QCB. The committee meets every Monday (including today) and usually calls on Tuesdays. The director said they're looking at my app today for IGP, so I'm anxiously waiting! Looks like Michigan called a lot of people last week telling them to look out for an email today, so I'm hoping to get an email today as well. Best of luck, and hopefully they'll all call soon. I know nothing about the other programs, though, all of which I applied to!

Does anyone know if Michigan PIBS sends out interviews all at once or over a period of time? Kind of freaking out at this point :/ Thanks in advance! 

It looks like the only interview invites have been by phone so far. Years past indicate that they also send e-mails and it's mostly spread out over a few weeks, with some calls as late as January.

Any updates from Utah and UT Southwestern?

I heard from UT Southwestern via e-mail on Monday (12/11), but I sent in my application the first week of November, and I know they look at apps on a rolling basis.
