It's completely funded. For example, the stipend at Johns Hopkins is $34,000--in addition to this, you're also given health, dental, and vision insurance. Let me know if you want to chat!
I just read through the FAQS and it states that you must have been awarded a bachelors within the last 36 months. I graduated from undergrad in 2017 and i also have a masters so idk if I even qualify

Don't worry! In case this doesn't go favorably this cycle--have you considered PREP programs? They're literally life-changing.
Is it funded? I cant afford to take out any loans unfortunately

I saw a person on here unironically say that they are more afraid of interviews than rejections... ruined my day
That’s actually super irritating. Like what does that even mean??? Im sitting here refreshing my email a million times a day praying for that ONE invite and most of these posts are complaining about how they got four interviews so far but havent heard back from X, or Y school and theyre crying about it like???? Tone deaf much??

Does anyone know how competitive interviews will be this year?
I've received 10 invites so far, but decided to decline three offers because I'm still waiting to hear back from a few other programs and juggling a full-time job.
Do I have a chance with seven interviews? Starting to freak out ?
I LOVE THIS POST LOL!!! I hope its satire taking a jab at the annoying af people on here ??? bc if so its a masterpiece. Yall are toxic. Like if youve heard back from multiple schools inviting you for interviews and still “fReAKiNg oUt” please stfu.

There are several schools with later deadlines : Temple, Indiana Indianapolis, etc.
Thank you so much for the sources! I appreciate it! I applied to 8 schools already and unfortunately most of them were top tier reach schools (I didn’t pay attention to that when applying- I was more focused on research going on and ability to see myself fitting in certain labs). I really appreciate your suggestions, and hopefully I will hear back from atleast one school with good news and will look into maybe sending out a couple more applications to schools that are still taking apps

Hey! Apply to top tier low tier and middle tier schools to have the best chances! Schools will find you competitive!
What schools would that include? And do they still have unmet deadlines? ? ive actually been trying to figure out what makes a school low/middle tier! Please if you know any schools suggest them to me!

Ive been shy to post my stats because theyre average and not so great but here they are:
undergraduate gpa: 2.84 ?
master/graduate gpa: 3.16 (still have one more course to go and im aiming for the A to lift the gpa a bit more)
research: 3 projects: two molecular oncology/cancer genetic related and one virology related (genotyping the coronavirus strains infecting a specific population of interest) (collectively 2 years)
publications: the two cancer related projects are pending and the virology project I got an acknowledgment in the paper bc i was just involved in the writing of the proposal and providing editing/ideas to manuscript
GRE scores: not important bc no program really requires it anymore
Im just really worried that this wont be enough to gain any school’s interest! Ugh

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?
Thats amazing girl!!! You took of from your own endeavors to be with your mother and now youre being rewarded for that!! Congrats love and I hope your mother is feeling better!!! Good luck on all your interviews no doubt youll get offered acceptances from all of them!

Honestly im starting to give up hope guys.... this is so stressful and tiring. All I want is one invite ? congrats to everyone who has heard back with multiple interviews or even got that one! Good luck!

Haha also hoping they have a few more invites to send out ?. Fingers crossed for both of us!! ?
Im already feeling like its a rejection from UCSD, seeing people are getting invites probably doesnt allude to something good lol oh well! Second rejection- six more to go ? but genuinely so happy for those who got interviews and good luck!!

Applied to UCSD (BMS), UCSF (BMS), UCLA (Bioscience IIMP), UW (MCB), CU Anschutz (BSP), Oregon Health & Science (PBMS), UCSB (MCDB), UC Irvine (CMB) & City of Hope cancer center
Heard back from CU Anshutz today (interview) and UCSF (rejected). Let me know if you guys hear anything from any of these other programs. I tried to apply to a range of schools as far as competitiveness... but still feeling pretty anxious.
Good luck guys we got this!

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
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

Just got rejected by UCSF BMS, congrats those who make it.
"This year we received a record number of applications from excellent students, and we are able to invite only a fraction of those who are qualified to interview for the program."
I really wonder how much more applications happened this year...Same! Good luck on the rest of all of your applications guys!
