cool! we probably interviewed together then. yeah, bay area's pop gen game is strong. it skews anthropocentric for me, if we're talking downsides though. of course, UW is no less anthropocentric, so ?♂️
are you leaning towards accepting? what's your opinion on Berkeley vs other top schools for EEB?
I reeeeally loved Berkeley but would be nervous to choose the west coast since I’ve only been there once. The others I’m really strongly considering are UPenn (they have a young but large and supportive evo/pop gen community) and Harvard. UChicago is also really great for it but I didn’t get as good of a vibe from them at the interview (which is completely personal opinion and possibly just who I happened to speak with). How about you?

thanks! the designated sequencing center is something i'll have to look into. i don't do medical stuff though (my area is pop gen and evolution). does your recommendation still hold in light of that?
I am also pop gen / evo (and also was admitted to Berkeley!!?). I get the sense (and have heard from several trusted advisors) that Berkeley is one of the best places for that. It seemed like so many students and faculty there were in that area.

Just heard from Princeton QCB!!

Yes, I just checked unfortunately I got rejected to UCSF. I did just find out I got into Yale though!! UCSF and Yale were my top choices so I am really happy!!
Congratulations on your admission to Yale!!!?

Mine was an interviewer, as well, but it sounds like these are coming on different days/times. Fingers crossed for you!!
I just got an email from UCSF to check portal for a change in applicant status about an hour ago!

Thanks for answering my question! Those are great schools/programs.
If you don't mind, could you please share your final decision as well? I'm curious to know ppl with many great options like you choosing which programs.
Sure thing!

I was wondering if you could tell us which one is your dream school?
It seems like you have lots of options, and I was curious which one you'd like to choose.
So sorry I am just seeing this haha! Although I was so fortunate to receive these invitations, I have decided to hone in on a smaller list so that I can also focus on schoolwork this semester: UPenn GCB, Harvard BBS, UCSF BMI, Princeton QCB, Berkeley CCB, and UChicago GGSB. I'm trying my best to keep an open mind and not pick favorites until after I've gone to the events, but I would be incredibly excited about the opportunity to attend any one of them!? Thanks for asking!

Congratulation! Is it an email from POI or official email from the program director?
I was also accepted to Penn GCB, and mine was an email from a POI (seems like someone from the results page had the same experience). He said official letters would be going out next week!

Has anyone who received an interview invite for UCSD BISB & accepted it heard back about scheduling? I had a conflict on the requested date so I asked to schedule a different day, but it's been 10 days and I haven't heard back from them..
Also, has anyone heard from UC Berkeley Comp Bio (CCB) yet?
I just got a call from a POI at Berkeley letting me know I got an interview - he said email invitations should be coming out soon!

Congrats! Out of curiosity (and if you don't mind me asking...) what track/research interest did you note on your application?
Thank you! I listed computational biology, genetics/genomics, and human biology & disease mechanisms. From what I've heard on other threads, Harvard BBS typically comes out in one batch, but not sure if things are different this year. Fingers crossed!!

Has anybody heard from Harvard BBS? If so, does anyone know if they send out offers in waves based on the track or have they already finished with sending out their invitations? I noticed some entries on the results page but most of them didn't specify a BBS track.
Yes, I got an interview from Harvard BBS last Friday!

Was it a personalized email?
Thank you, all!! It was from the program coordinator and did not seem personalized (my name wasn't on it, and it had the appearance of others being bcc'd).

Just heard from UCLA (the email came from a specific professor I indicated interest in, which I suppose is why these are being sent at different times?). Congrats and good luck to all!!

Congratulations!!

Has anyone heard any rumors about certain programs sending invites this week vs. next week (for those programs that tend to send invites before holiday school closures)?

So sorry - I am just seeing this! I chose Harvard??
