I interviewed with them last week. The faculty members (3 in my case) are very nice and I had a chance to speak with the program director (I'm not sure whether all interviewees will talk with him). they also have some other activities like lunch time with current students and with professors. The interview is mainly about your science and they will also introduce their own research work. You can ask them anything you'd like to know

Thanks a lot! I applied Pibbs, while got no updates until now. ?

Hey! I saw you got an interview from USC. Would you mind shareing which program you applied and when you received from them?

The initial invitation was sent by email on Jan 22, if that is what you might be curious about.

Thank you! I was only informed by them that I will have an interview next week, but the details are still unknown.

I heard from them at Jan 12, with an email said "A decision has been made on your application" and I check the portal and found the rejection.

Hi! I applied to JHU (CMDB ) and Cornell (BCMB). Hope that helps!

Got it! Thank you and Good luck with your other interview! ?

Hey! How did you find out you are in the waitlist of BU? I also applied and heard nothing back from BU.

I'm an international student just received interview invitation from UTSW yeesterday.

Anyone got the idea when will UTSW Biosciences send out invitations for international students?

oh sorry I was confused But the same, no update from UCSD

Not yet hopefully UTSW is planning to send some invitation this week?

Congrats! May I ask which research interests you selected in the application? I'm still waiting for BU.. hahaha

BU (PiBS) here! Haven't heard any progress. I believe they are still reviewing the materials

Thanks~ Did they give the names of the faculty members? I had an interview on Jan 15th but haven't heard anything. Maybe I should wait until the holiday ends.

Hey everyone, a quick question about interview How do you guys think about using some visual aids (like powerpoint slides) when introducing previous research work? Would it be useful for the professor to better understand my previsou work? I'm worried that using slides might make my speech longer, but also worried about unable to make my idea clear without some graphs and data. What's your suggestions?

Hi, guys. I just wonder when will the program tell me the details of my interview like who I'll be interviewing with? I've heared that most of schools would give us the list of professors like a week or two weeks before the interview date. Is it true?

I think even if you ask them, you might only get some ambiguous answers like "it varies every year". Try to rearrange the interview with them. Good luck!

Some interviewers might ask the details and protocols of your experiments but not often ( as least from what i know) I would recommend you focus on why and what you expect to get from the experiment and how you interpret the result.

hey, I applied to Duke (Cell and Molecular Biology) and WUSTL (molecular cell biology). I believe that WUSTL has sent a lot of invitations, while I haven't heard others received from Duke. Gook luck!

Hi Congrats on your invites! I would say you are the only one i saw who has received from Mayo. May i ask which track you applying to?

Congrats! Thanks for your info! I'm still waiting and hope that the timeline for internaltional applicants might be different. Good luck with your interview!

I am nervous too. Let's hope they havent started the process for international students. But I don't think the pre-application would be make any difference.

That's great! Congrats! I also applied to UTSW and chose three programs of interest including the molecular and cell biology. I wonder when will their interview weekend be ? Do they ask you to choose like 3-5 professors you'd like to talk with?
