  1. What did you indicate your subfield of interest to be for UMMS? I’ve seen waves of rejections/acceptances and it makes me wonder if they move by field of interest within the umbrella program so figured I’d ask
  2. Does anyone who went to one of the BU Bioinformatics Open Houses know anything about when we might hear back? I don’t remember them saying anything about a timeline on my date
  3. I would guess so? Unless they’re sending out decisions as they make them, but i was told it would be maybe next week so I don’t imagine they’re doing it that way.
  4. I did! They said they haven’t made the majority of their decisions because they’re still interviewing international candidates and to expect news maybe next week, possibly the week after.
  5. Thanks for your insight! It’s sort of nice to hear that at least I’m not alone in being confused. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see if anything changes next week then
  6. No, they didn't say anything. When I was there on the 24th, they mentioned they were wrapping up decisions from the first weekend (the 9-10) and getting ready to send those out, so I expected maybe 2-3 weeks or so from my date, which is why I'm surprised they seemed to have sent out decisions for the second weekend just a week after it happened. Thanks for your insight though, it sucks it's the weekend but I'll try and contact them next week to see if they have any more info about my status.
  7. Oh I see, thanks for sending that Any idea if I haven't heard anything yet there's still hope at this point?
  8. Was that on the results page or in a different forum?
  9. Did anyone who attended the second UMass Med interview date hear any news back yet? The Jan 23-24 date. I saw one result from the first interview date that was 3 weeks after that one so I’m wondering when to expect news
  10. Dang. Let me know if you do hear anything or end up calling them next week
  11. I contacted them last week and they said it'll be sometime this week, which isn't a detailed response but it's all I know for now. A bunch of other results for other programs are popping up on the results page for Brown from today but that could mean nothing for any specific program
  12. Does anyone have an idea what the timeline for Brown’s CCMB might be? There’s very few results posted from previous years so I’m curious
  13. For anyone wondering, I reached out to Yale and they said they’ve sent out all their interviews. Makes sense at this point but figured I’d post it in case anyone else was still half-hoping like me
  14. I’m wondering if there’s any good strategies that anybody has for how to ask good questions when PI’s talk about their research during an interview/open house. I always seem to freeze up when they talk about what their lab does and I overthink about how I should have questions, but I’m so busy doing that so then I come up with nothing. I’m not super knowledgeable in the field I’m applying for since it’s outside of what my research so far has been - so lots of the people interviewing me are doing research on things I’m unfamiliar with. I don’t want to ask super duper basic methods questions, but I’m also worried about being too overwhelmed to ask anything at all. Does anyone have strategies they use to come up with meaningful questions while they tell you about their research? Or questions you use often to ask about research that can apply to a lot of topics or projects?
  15. Yes I did. My email didn’t say anything about the 14-15 so I’m not sure if this is the alternate date? I wish I had made the list for the weekend instead of the Wednesday one, but I’m still happy to be invited at all. Maybe try reaching out to see what their status is?
  16. I heard back from BU today - invite to an open house on feb 19th!
  17. Has anyone heard from BU yet? Seemed like they send out invites later based on previous year’s posts but figured I’d ask. Is it safe to assume Yale CBB and Columbia DBMI are done sending out at this point?
  18. Can I ask how your interviews went? I saw the schedule, but it’s my first one and I’m pretty nervous for all those faculty interviews back to back. Any tips?
  19. Yes, I applied to their bioinformatics and computational bio program. No idea if they’re done inviting or not, but considering it’s soon I’m not sure how many they’d send out now? Wish I had better news, you could try calling too?
  20. I heard back from UMass Med on 12/20, my interview date is Jan 23-24
  21. Also - my grades for fall semester came out after I sent in all my applications. I’m assuming some of you are in the same boat, are you sending in updated transcripts? Or calling admissions? I’m not sure what to do, because my grades are good but I don’t know who to contact, if anyone.
