? Friday actually falls on April 2nd so I think we are good there jaja

That's a good point! My best guess would be for Tuesday, March 30; Friday, April 1; or Tuesday, April 6! We will just have to wait and see ?

It looks like there is a scheduled maintenance for this weekend, but they definitely won't announce until a couple more weeks. source: https://www.fastlane.nsf.gov

Thank you! I specifically applied to the "Immunology" home program and that is the department I am interviewing with. I hope this helps!

I just got an email from the Immunology home program inviting me for an interview, and they included this: "The 14 Ph.D. Admissions Committees all operate on their own timelines, so your friends and coworkers may or may not have heard from us or another Biosciences Program yet. Please understand that "no news does not mean bad news,” as our Admissions process will not conclude until mid-January. So, please keep this in mind when sharing your good news with others." All the best!

That's what I have heard in years past, but I am not sure!

Yeah, I got an interview invite last night! They are offering two different interview weekends: Jan 23–25 and Feb 6–8. It looks like they are sending out invites in waves, but they gave no indication if they have sent out everything in the email they sent me. Wishing you the best!

Hey! I applied to the following: • Yale BBS Immunology (interview) • UPenn BGS IGG (interview) • Emory Microbial Pathogenesis and Immunology (Interview) • UCSF BMS • Harvard Immuno • UMichigan PIBS Immuno • U Washington, Seattle Immuno • WashU Immuno • Rockefeller • Stanford Biosciences Wishing everyone the best!

No, I think you are right. I need to cast a bigger net if I definitely want to go to grad school next fall. I'll look at some more programs and definitely seek out fee waivers. Thank you for the input!
