I am filling up the ds-160 and wanted to ask if to give yes or no as an answer:
Do you have any specialized skills or training, such as firearms, explosives, nuclear, biological, or chemical experience ?
Also, do we need to include middle school and high-school details in education section?
I said yes and mentioned that my master's was biological lab sciences to justify that. I think it should be fine. As for the second question, I didn't mention high school actually. I think they only ask for postsecondary education, which is whatever is beyond high school.

Rutgers! mine is Rutgers Newark, both I3 and MBGC tracks but I need to choose one if I accept my offer. I also got into the U of Iowa, micro program. Currently I am waiting for results from BCM and MD Anderson UT health, so it may take a while to make final decisions:)..
Congratulations!! That’s a good number to choose from then. I can understand why you’re waiting for BCM and MT Anderson as they’re top programs, but thankfully, you’ll be attending a PhD program in the fall anyway. Congrats! I hope everything works out greatly for you ?

congrats! which program did you get in?
Thanks! I got into the CCIB program at Rutgers Camden. It was totally unexpected, and I feel so grateful and blessed to get the opportunity. I was starting to get antsy before cuz IBMG was my only chance. How about you? What other offers did you get?

I have just recieved an email saying I was waiting-listed...And gave the deadline of responding an offer is 15/April. So I suspect until now all offers were being made...
Got waitlisted too!! It seems they were sending offers before too. Are you planning to wait it out or will you accept other offers?

just got an update that they put me in the waiting list. I think I will decline my application since I have other better choices ?...I am so done for waiting this program...
Got waitlisted too! I got an offer last night for another program so now I’m torn. I’ll wait it out and see ?

I emailed them on last Monday, and they said:
"At this time, I do not have an update on your application. We should have decisions out this month, but no later than March 15th. "
The admission committee is holding weekly finalising meetings so hopefully we will hear from IUSM next week...Fingercross
Oh it’s good you heard back! I imagine a lot of people are emailing them so they’re not responding to everyone yet. Fingers crossed that everything plays out this coming week! I really didn’t think we’d be getting decisions in March for an interview early in Jan... I hope all of us hear good news!

I e-mailed to them right before they sent the e-mail about admission process, so I am not sure if it is ok to send them another e-mail again...Maybe I will send another one if I did not get any response next week...
Oh that’s a tough one, but yeah you can try doing that! Honestly all this waiting is playing with my nerves...

Does anyone know what happens to the Indiana IBMG program? Have they sent out all offers? I only see one or two post on the Result...
That’s what I want to know too! I haven’t heard back either. I emailed them on Tuesday to ask for an update, but they haven’t replied back to me yet ? it’s really weird...

I expected they start sending offers from next Monday but that result page just made me start worrying
I think if they started sending offers, then they’re doing so slowly because there is only 1 result on the results page. Idk maybe they’re sending offers on a rolling basis. I’m banking on IBMG so this whole waiting game has gotten my nerves skyrocketing through the roof.

Congrats on the offer! Hope we get the same luck too ??

Has anyone heard back from Indiana’s IBMG? Someone posted on the results page, but I haven’t heard anything yet ?

Has anyone here heard back from MMI program of University of Maryland School of Medicine or IUPUI IBMG program after their interview?
I interviewed for IBMG, and they sent an email last week to give an update that they’ll start sending offers by end of this week, so fingers crossed!

Has anyone applied to the Rutgers Camden Integrative and Computational Biology program? Anyone had interviews or have an idea of what it’s like?

Any Rutgers Biosciences applicants here?
Yep! Got a rejection last week:)

I got a rejection from the Rutgers Molecular Biosciences (Microbiology and Molecular Genetics track) program 2 days ago, and a few hours later, I received an email inviting me to extend my application to their Integrative and Computational Biology Program at Rutgers Camden. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have an idea about what the program is like? The website says there's an 8% acceptance rate, so I'm quite skeptical, especially since I wouldn't consider myself a stellar applicant. I'm just tired at this point, and I don't want to be led along by false hope. Any advice?

Has anyone who interviewed with Indiana (IBMG) heard back from them?
I interviewed with them, and I’m still waiting too. I keep refreshing my email and the results page so many times already but nothing so far ?

Thanks, the waiting is endless...I really hope they can get back to me soon so I will know what my next steps are...
I'm sorry to hear about your rejection...Hope you will get other programs you like!
The waiting can really be a torture! Hope you hear back soon from your programs.
It’s alright! The rejection hurt when I first got it but I got over it, especially since it wasn’t my first choice anyway. I just finished an interview for a program a few days ago and I’m praying that one works out. And thanks! Hope you get into your program of choice!

Thanks! I applied the immunology & micro track...
I got rejected for the IMV track before new year so don’t worry, you still stand a chance!

Hi! Has anyone done the interview for indiana's ibmg program today/yesterday (January 5th)? How did it go and what was it like? Mine is on Friday, and I just wanted to see if anyone can share their experience.

Hoping for the same! Congrats on the one invite! Lets all keep our heads up and believe we will get that one invite we all need to feel safe this cycle! We got this! I felt absolutely crushed this morning when I woke up to find the rejection from UCSF BMS but still have 8 schools to go and Im trying to be hopeful
Thank you! And yes exactly! It’s just one that we need and we’ll make it! I’m so sorry for your rejection, but I believe it’s a pretty competitive program so don’t beat yourself up too much over it. You’re awesome and I’m sure you have strong stats! You’ll get through this! Let’s all cheer each other on and stay positive! I heard that people still get invitations in January too so we shouldn’t despair yet

I was also hoping for Harvard BBS, but I didn't get an invite either. Just wanted to tell everyone to cheer up! Already 9 out of 15 programs that I applied to have sent out invites while I haven't receive any. I got an interview invite from 1 so far and I'm so grateful. At this point, because it's so competitive, I hope everyone gets at least one invite! Let's all work hard to get through this! Hoping that we'll all get an offer in the end
Urgent! Name mismatch on i20 and passport

I had a similar issue where my middle name wasn't mentioned in my given name on the i20. Out of caution, I emailed the DSO, and they issued a new i20 within a day with the corrected given name. I just decided to do it because it's better to be on the safe side, I guess.
