Hi, I have a question for you!
Did you get a new itinerary from UTSW? Hope you get an admission
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 see in your signature that you have a rejection from JHU. I also applied to CMDB and haven't heard anything either way - I'm assuming rejection but I'm curious to know when you heard and who you heard from.
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.

I received this:
We have received an exceptionally large number of outstanding applications this year and as such are forced to make the hard decision of who to invite for an interview. We have now made most of our selections for our first round of interviews. Unfortunately, your application was not chosen for an interview. However, we are keeping your application active. This indicates that your candidacy is still of interest to us and we are keeping it on hold for the time being. In the meantime, please feel free to update us on your progress in your application to PhD programs other than BU.
To be clear, your application is on hold and has not been rejected, but it has not been chosen for an interview. In the event we that have available student slots in our class after our initial interview and acceptance process, we may contact you to set up an interview.
Sincerely,
C. James McKnight
Chair, Program in Biomedical Sciences Admissions Committee
So essentially I view it as a waitlist for interview, but like I said before, I’m not holding my breath. According to previous years on the results search they often do this.
I will say though I was a bit surprised that I didn’t get an interview at BU due to my research interests and previous research experience being so compatible with so many faculty there, but I thankfully have interviews at other awesome places.
Got it! Thank you and Good luck with your other interview! ?

Waitlisted for interview for the PiBS program at Boston University, but not holding my breath
Hey! How did you find out you are in the waitlist of BU?
I also applied and heard nothing back from BU.

Anyone heard back from UTSW? I just saw on the results page that someone got an acceptance letter (I think international student).
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?

Hello! I heard from BU (PiBS) on Monday (1/4) about an interview! This was after receiving the email that stated they would send more emails after the new year as they hadn't gotten through all the applications. My interview is set for February 8th.
The only schools I am left waiting on are Yale MMPP program, Harvard BBS, Vanderbilt IGP, and Georgia State IBMS (my safety). I already have heard back and received interviews from UAB (Jan 13-15), Emory (Jan 27-29), FSU (Jan 29-30), UMich (Feb 4-6), BostonU (Feb 8), Baylor (Feb 11), and WashU STL (Feb 25-26)!
Good luck everyone! I am so glad I found this site this morning; I was unsure if schools would even reach out if they didn't offer you an interview/were rejected. Thanks for all the insight and feedback from everyone!
Congrats!
May I ask which research interests you selected in the application?
I'm still waiting for BU.. hahaha

Hey party people! Has anyone else been invited to interview at UCLA (IMMP), Yale (BBS, Micro), University of Washington (Pathobiology), or BU (PiBS)? Would love to say hi to you! (Everything feels so isolating when it's happening remotely...)
Also... Has anyone else gotten good news from "reach" schools and waitlist/rejections from "safety"s? I feel like my luck has just been insane (not to be that person. I am genuinely stupid)
BU (PiBS) here!
Haven't heard any progress. I believe they are still reviewing the materials

I have an interview next week and that school sent my schedule with faculty members early last week (so that’s ~2.5 week notice). Other schools have said they aim to send faculty interviews at least 5-7 days before.
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?

Hello hello guys !
I have a question for you all!
what if I'll get three interviews in a same day, and they dont offer other days as well. I mean can I asked them what are the odds to be accepted after interview?
Have a happy new year!
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!

Anyone else low-key panicking about their interviews? My first one is on the 7/8th, so right after the holiday break.
I'm currently looking over notes from research I did as a freshman in undergrad and my memory is so hazy ? Does anyone know how in detail I need to know this science? (Like if I ran BCA assay, I need to remember that it measure the protein concentration because the peptide bonds in the protein reduce cupric ions, etc)
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.

Fingers crossed. Saw you got invites from Duke and WUSTL. Which program did you apply to these schools? I also applied, but did not hear anything...
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!

Hey! I’m new here! I actually am a weird applicant: I was admitted into the Ohio State biomed grad program back in 2017 and had to leave after the grist year due to my mom being sick. So, here I am again restarting this whole thing and I was afraid I wouldn’t even get a chance at an interview! I’ve gotten 5 so far! God is so good!
Here are my interview invites:
Mayo Clinic
University of Colorado-Denver
University of Alabama Birmingham
Vanderbilt IGP
University of Miami PIBS (interview done; invited for virtual visit)
Anyone have similar invites? How are you all preparing for the interviews?
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?

I just received an invite from UTSW today. Interview weekends were 01/21-01/22, 02/04-02/05, and 02/11-02/12, with each day featuring specific tracks. They request that you select primary and secondary preferences for interview dates, as well as 5-7 faculty that you're interested in talking with. Good luck!
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!

On the same boat. I am waiting for the UCSD BMS as well... Not sure if the pre-application increases the chance or not..
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.

Thanks! molecular and cell biology track. and yes I emailed the PI saying im interested in their research and would be grateful for the opportunity to talk about the program and their lab, they answered saying they would like to meet and discuss research.
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?

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
