Got Interview at Tri -I  CBM !! my top choice !!!

Ah okay. I tech here and they just sent out an email to the department saying that they’ve made their selection. 55 interviews out of 566. I just wasn’t sure if it was sent out yet or not 

As many of you have reported(thank you), TheGradCafe has been dealing with server issues the past few days. This has been a difficult issue to resolve, but we are now hopeful it has been corrected!
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience as we worked through the issues.

very impressive profile. I would say if you get an interview definetely reach out to the professor you are interested in. 
also we have a computational and system biology thread not sure if it applies to you. but you seems very genetics and system/computational biology focused 

Anyone received an e-mail from Rutgers today? I received an e-mail with a title' SAVE THE DATE:Rutgers SGS Virtual Recruitment Events'. The e-mail started with' Dear applicant' and then says will be contacted by the first week of Jan for the invitation of virtual recruitment events on Feb 11 & 12. Not sure if this means an interview invitation though...I applied the multidisciplinary phD program in biomedical sciences ( I3 track).
 

Hi everyone! I've been following along with the forum, but just wanted to post my questions here. 
Short bio: big state school, 4.0 gpa, genetics major with a minor in cs. Started research the summer before college started, worked in labs ever since. Worked at a total of 2 academic labs, with 1 summer internship in industry. 1 publication, 1 poster, 1 review and a first author paper in prep/review. Currently working on my honors thesis. 
Where I applied/got interviews: Yale (interview invite 12/11), Harvard BBS, Columbia (interview invite 12/18), Weill Cornell PBSB (interview invite 12/23), MD Anderson, Baylor (interview invite 12/11), UChicago GGSB (interview invite 12/18), UCLA (interview invite 12/14), GSK, UPenn (interview invite 12/13)
 
I applied broadly because I really didn't think I would have so many interview requests, but I'm very grateful. I was just wondering when would be the best time to reach out to potential PIs to see if they are taking on graduate students? I feel like asking during interviews would be very odd, so should I be reaching out now? 

BME and biomedical program are very different... a lot of engineering program don't require interview and their interview is more a formality and some programs don't have rotations.... I would suggest caution against the information you get here. 

Thanks for this thread!
I'm an international with US degree.
Applied to:
- Harvard MCO
- UPenn CAMB
- UChicago CMB
- Weill-Cornell BCMB
- Yale Bio
- Princeton Molecular Bio
- MIT Biology
- Northwestern DGP
- Columbia Biology
 
So far got interview invites for UChicago and Weill-Cornell. Assuming I got rejected for Harvard, UPenn, Yale, Northwestern, and Princeton.

It's the PBSB program. 

got an invitation from Weill Cornell

Oh no.. cheer up dude! you'll get more invites from other schools.
it's surprising they're only interviewing around 4 international students this year.. 
why are they reviewing international students so late? is it because they want to interview domestic students first and then internationals?

Honestly, I saw no one survived the blood bath from UW today...

Congrats on UCSF, guys!! Can't wait to meet you all there
