    I usually ask during the interviews to avoid unnecessary stress. POIs normally reply within days while programs usually take longer. I would avoid emailing them within the time frame they provided. If you didn't ask, I think two weeks after you talked to a POI or one month after the program interview would be a good time to follow up (just my opinion)? If the interview happened not long ago, you could always send a follow-up email to thank them for their time and casually ask about the timeline.

    I am done with most of my interviews and waiting for them to get back to me (they told me it would take a few weeks), so I got myself a 2000 pc jigsaw puzzle to kill time lol

    Other than if I happened to talk to who you interview with, I can't offer specific advice that wouldn't apply to interviews anywhere else. Know your work to be able to talk about it and answer questions about it, know why you want to go to that school, why you want to do a PhD, etc. I've heard that a few interviewers asked odd subjective questions, but there's just no way to prepare for that and it's really just an assessment of how well you can think on your feet and answer questions you don't have a pre-prepared answer for.
    In all four interviews, I was barely asked anything at all and spent the whole time asking them questions about their work. But, that's not the case with everyone.

    A lot of these are immunology programs, but I think they're still somewhat relevant here because I applied with a specific computational focus highlighted in my SOP (I'm a CS major with a life sciences minor)

    I know that the chemical biology folks have heard back about interviews but doesn't seem like computational biology has, I'm still waiting too. I'm guessing we won't hear back until after Christmas at this point.
