In my opinion it would be reasonable to send a follow up email at this point. If they said they were going to get back to you by now but haven't, I'm sure other people will be reaching out as well. In any case, I doubt it would affect your chances of getting in to send a friendly email reiterating your interest in their program and asking for a status update.

Hi all! I was wondering thoughts on emailing the program following your interview just saying thank you and reiterating your interest? Should this go to the program director and/ or the interviewers? Thanks!

I sent thank-you emails to all interviewers, usually the Mon/Tue after the interview weekend. Emailing the director wouldn't hurt either. Regardless, I'd say that the emails are just niceties and really wouldn't change your chances in most cases. Some admissions results come out super fast, so some of my emails actually ended up being sent after I got accepted lol

It is always good to send thank you emails to the faculty that interviewed you! Try to mention something that you talked about during the interview in the email as a reminder of who you are but also to show that you remembered the conversation. 

I've only gotten one interview schedule so far, and for each faculty I have 20 minutes. So between both of our research thats not a lot of time. I'm preparing a nice little elevator speech to give an overview of my research and then preparing some more in depth details for faculty asking questions and other interviews that are longer!

Don't think any of us have heard from Sinai yet... ?

Sure, no problem!
I submitted the application October 18th. Yeah, I think it's weird that they send them out at different times. The interview dates they offered me were either March 1st and 2nd or March 1st and 5th. So given the late interview dates, maybe they'll still send out invites into January(?).
One of my recommender's submitted their letter on November 25th, so my application wasn't entirely complete till then. Hope this helps.

Congrats!! Do you mind sharing when you submitted your application? It’s so weird they’re sending out the invites so sporadically. I also did Mechanisms and Disease, submitted my portion of the app in October, but one of my letter of recs was slow and didn’t submit until right before deadline...

l was hoping so, but I haven’t seen any updates 

I got an interview today from NYU Vilcek!! My first choice program is Mechanism of Disease, if that helps anyone.
I thought I wouldn't get an invitation since so many other programs I applied to already sent out invites. Good luck to everyone! Hoping you get that invite you're not even expecting as I did today!!

I also applied to the same track and haven't heard back. I emailed the admin and this is the response:
 
We typically extend offers to interview anywhere from late December through late February. Thank you for your interest!

Anyone heard back from NYU Vileck and applied to the Mechanism of Disease (Molecular Oncology and Tumor Immunology)?

Thank you!  The email did have my name at the top, but I just received this email at 4:17 today, so I would just keep an eye out on your email and maybe check junk in case. I really hope you hear back and goodluck!  

I did! I did it under the Mechanisms of Disease- Molecular Oncology and Tumor Immunology. I did see a handful say they received invitations. I haven't heard anything.

Do we think invitations will continue coming out this week? I've looked at old results and a lot of schools normally sent out last week but it doesn't seem like they sent out yet. Not sure if the holiday changes things.

I am thinking (hoping) Icahn will be this week too. When I participated in their advisory program they suggested they were hoping to have a quick turnaround.. but as always things seem delayed this year! Fingers crossed!

I received an invitation to interview with Weill Cornell for their pharmacology program a couple hours ago!

Congrats!! What track did you put as your first choice?
