Whew thanks. Back to drinking

That was me! I'm also not sure if all invites were sent, but I got an email yesterday at 6:59 PM for interviews on either February 7th or February 28th.
My friend's PI was on the committee and was complaining about how they had ~400 applications for ~6 spots. I'm really shocked and grateful that they sent me an interview--but I feel like, with that many applications, there has to be even more stochasticity than in most. 

Stanford BMI is March 4 - 8.

Just got an official one today.

Lol thanks. More like recklessness than confidence? Tbh I was going to take a year or two off--I'm in Boston and there're lots of job opportunities in Bioinformatics here--but one of my undergrad advisors (who I trust a lot, in part because she's blunt/honest to the point that it sometimes comes off as rude) told me to apply to a few places year, at least to get practice. I took it seriously and hey--so far, so good. And I'll get to meet you at the BIG interviews! ? I'm so excited, it's going to be a blast.

@VirtualCell I looked at your list of schools and commend your confidence

Just received an interview invite from Sanger, although making their January 27th on-site is almost impossible for someone international  

Same! The interview is at the same time as Harvard BIG so I'll have to go with Skype anyways. 

Congrats!

I'm full-time computational now but I did a year in a biochem lab and I have a mix of computational and experimental experience from undergrad. A former postdoc from Cole Trapnell's lab is the one who got me in touch with him
Congrats on the EMBL interview btw, I would love to work there but US isn't a member state so I didn't even bother applying.
