Were we supposed to email them transcripts for fall grades?

Still no news. Hmmm I'm starting to think maybe they sent out only a few invites but no one who is an active grad cafe user heard back. I also checked twitter and reddit just in case lol someone send help!

Has anyone heard from Stanford Cancer Biology (Computational Track) yet?

@yakyu It seems like everyone so far has been invited via phone from poi. Just saw that someone received invite via phone today for UC Berkeley CCB so looks like they're still sending out invites. Good luck!

Honestly surprised I have not received an invite from UCLA Bioinformatics to interview. I know they sent out invites 12/6 and 12/19. When I was there over the summer for my research internship, I met several PIs and personally talked to the Bioinformatics dept director about my interest in the program. Should I assume no news = rejection at this point? as well as with other programs I haven't heard from?
