Sorry I was not on the site.  Did you call them?

LiaLuver - I did. However, they were not available so I left a kind message.

Also waiting on Miami, assumed I had been rejected but it’s good to see that they might just be taking their sweet time and doing things the Miami way.

Looking back on past years this appears to be unusual. Are they not conducting interviews this year? I would find it hard to imagine they would just skip on-site interviews but it is very late now compared to other years. 

Anyways, has anyone heard back from NYU or Minnesota? I interviewed at NYU well over a month ago and Minnesota about a month ago and still have not heard anything. 

Best of luck to you all. 

LiaLuver - I did. However, they were not available so I left a kind message.  

ImmunoGuy & LiaLuver - a colleague of mine reached out to a current PhD student at Miami who said that around this time last year is when she was first contacted by the school. Also, made it a point to say they do take their time. So hopefully we will hear from them soon. Likewise, best of luck to everyone!

I just called the grad office and they said my app is still in review and a decision will be made by April 15th .

Thank you for the update! Even though that is such a long timeline. 

Do you mind sharing their grad office # with me .. I can't seem to locate it on the website. 

Thanks!

Nope, still no word from them.  Since I submitted my application, I've heard nothing from them. 

we are in the same boat :/ 

It is a bit nerve wrecking since I have heard from all other programs, but fingers crossed they might be going at their own pace. If I get any word, I will keep you posted.

I’m a domestic student and applied to UMiami for Biochem and Molecular Bio and UMBC BioSciences and haven’t heard anything back yet. 

Hi - have you heard from UMiami? They notified that they extended their deadline for document submission until 1/31. I followed up again a week ago for an update - but still nothing. Just curious to know whats going on. Thanks!

For those who applied to Boston U PiBS, anyone received invitations? and if so, when? 

Also is NYU Sackler - microbiology track done sending out invitations? I think interviews started but I know others who are still waiting like me..

 

I am in the same boat as you regarding NYU sackler and Berkeley MCB. I know interview invites have been sent out, however it has been radio silence for me. 

Also reached out via e-mail to the departments to see if I can check on my status - no reply yet. It sure is nerve wrecking.  I am fighting every power in me to assume its a rejection, so lets hope we  might still have a chance.

Still waiting to here from them too :/ 

I assume we're on the 'waitlist' after they see who accepts their first round of interviews

Thank you all for your input. Good luck everyone.

Has anyone here heard from the following schools/dept?

UC Berkeley - MCB

UC Davis - BMCDB

Columbia - Micro & Immuno

NYU Sackler - Biomed 

UMiami - Micro & Immuno

UMaryland (Baltimore) - GPILS, Molecular Micro & Immuno

UFlorida - Biomed, Biochem & Molecular Bio

 

I am an international student (currently in US) and was not sure if they contact international students last because they assume it will only be a skype interview. 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!! 

 

PS. Good luck to those with upcoming interviews.

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 noticed the same comment. The reason I asked is because I have not been contacted yet, so I was trying to decipher if that was a bad thing or not. In other words, do I still have a chance. In any case thank you for sharing the information. Best of luck to you and everyone else.

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). 

Thank you for sharing! 

Are recruitment invites sent only to those who already have been contacted for an admission interview?
