I'm still waiting for Harvard to reject me. 
I'm a second year PhD student. 

For all of you bitting your nails off waiting to hear back from Stanford - I emailed them and this is what they just (one min ago) said :
 
Dear .___,

In the coming week, the committees will start to contact those applicants who have been selected for an interview. The selected applicants will be invited to interview, at our expense, arriving on Wednesday, March 4 and departing on Sunday, March 8, 2020. This is our only interview session. Highly qualified applicants residing in other countries and for whom a visit would not be possible may be selected for a telephone interview.

In general, if an applicant has not heard about a possible invitation by late January, it is unlikely that he or she will be invited to Stanford or admitted. Applicants who are not selected for an interview will receive a letter which states that no further action will be taken on their application by the Committee on Graduate Admissions and Policy.

Best regards,

Stanford Biosciences

Is there anyone who still hasn't heard from UNC BBSP? I don't know if they just have a lot of rejection emails to send and that's because I didn't receive one with everyone else (but I'll at some point) or if not receiving one actually means something now, like a wait-list or something. 

The official email hasn’t been sent out yet! 

You could always apply to be an NIH postbac, it's an excellent opportunity!

Emailed UNC BBSP and they replied:
Our admissions committees are still in the process of reviewing applications.

I just requested an alternative date. They were very cool about it. I didn't get into details either.
