Hopefully the cohort isn’t so small that none of you are on this site. Let’s get a thread going for BU Pharmacology PhD students entering in the Fall of 2020. Who’s pumped???

Oops, realized I never quoted the person I meant to quote. I'm talking about Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics. Interviews were 2/6-2/7. I contacted the admissions office and was told the review process takes 2-3 weeks, so we're getting close to the end of that window. Figured that their top choices have already been informed. Oh well.

Have you heard back from BU yet?

Can we get a board going for those waiting to hear back from Northeastern's Pharm Sci, Pharmacology, or Med Chem programs? They're under the same umbrella, so I think it's the same review process. Just trying to get an idea of who has heard back.

Thanks for your reply! I actually just heard back. Would you be willing to provide any insight into the recruitment event? If not, no biggie. Just wondering if it felt adversarial/competitive vs. cooperative. And also wondering if you recall how many people they invite to this thing?

Hey all! I was invited to interview with BU's Pharmacology program (my top choice!). The email was sent on Dec 19th. I replied the next day and received an automated response saying that the academic manager would be out until Jan 2nd. I'm hoping to get an idea of the agenda soon because the two dates overlap with an important personal commitment and I will need to reschedule some flights. When would it be OK to email the program again? Does anyone have experience with this particular program/school? Any insights? Thanks!
