Should I just assume I got rejected from UCSD Bioengineering if I still haven't heard back from them at all? I got an offer elsewhere but I want to accept it after knowing the results for all my schools.
I got rejected from the PhD program and offered an MS. The email was sent on feb13th. Maybe the fact that you have not been contacted could be a good sign.

So given the recent Stanford acceptances, does no interview yet indicate 100% that I am rejected?

Does anyone know when Stanford releases decisions for interviewed applicants? I have to make travel plans for another program's visit weekend that starts the day after Stanford's visit ends. Super annoying because I can't make travel arrangements until I know the decision. I'm really hoping they release them in the next week or so!
From the email sent by Stanford BE Department on Jan27: "Admissions decisions are typically available by mid-March. However, we will try to release them earlier. "

I have a question regarding Stanford Bioengineering admissions. I saw that a batch of people got interviews mid-January and I have not received anything from them yet. They also just sent an email just now stating that decisions typically come out mid-march. I'm wondering if they accept people without an interview? Or does that fact that I have not received an interview mean that I most likely didn't get in?

Good point

I am currently in the same boat as you...but my situation may be a bit different because I completed my undergrad/master's research, and now I am waiting to start a PhD program at a different institution. If you are continuing your research at the graduate level with the same lab from undergrad, then I'd advise to focus on that during this "lame duck" phase: not sure what your area of research is, but having a large sample size for data analysis and working out the kinks in the lab/experimental design will save you a LOT of stress down the road. Maintain your sanity by visiting friends on weekends, traveling [if you can], reading non-science books (highly recommend "The Way of the Wolf"), and getting into a gym routine. You could also make some money by becoming a private tutor. This time period really does suck, but it's all about making these next few months less difficult and doing whatever you can to get out of the house.
Thanks for the advice! I actually will be exploring private tutoring to make some cash and stay busy. I also wish you the best during this time as well.

I am currently waiting on decisions, but I expect to get at least one admission. I just finished undergrad in December and would be starting grad school next Fall which leaves about 8 months of time. I am actually feeling very lost and depressed and want to stay busy. I am unemployed and living with parents. Can you guys suggest any ways to fill this time gap (i.e. continuing research with undergrad lab, finding part time job, traveling, etc.)

I haven't heard back from Columbia, uPenn, USC, and Northwestern. Should I just assume that I got rejected at this point? I'm contemplating just accepting one of my other offers already.
