[Biomedical Science PhD Applicants (Fall 2021)]

Hi all,

I am wondering when it is basically too late to hear from schools. I still haven't heard from six schools I applied to, including some schools that I know have already sent out some invitations. Do schools sometimes send out invitations in waves, or am I basically out of chances to get an interview?

FYI, these are the schools/programs I am still waiting to hear from:

University of Washington, Microbiology

University of Pennsylvania, CAMB, MVP

Washington University in St. Louis, MMMP

Duke, Molecular Genetics and Microbiology

Emory, Microbiology and Molecular Genetics  

Dartmouth, CMB program

 

Thanks for any advice you have. This application season has been more stressful than I anticipated. Good luck to everyone!

Thanks for your responses, this is very helpful!

[When do interview invitations get sent?]

Hello all,

I applied to microbiology and biomedical sciences programs. I don't know anyone else applying this year and I'm unfamiliar with the process. What is the general timeline for hearing about interviews? 

Also, on a side note, is it a big disadvantage to have applied close to the deadlines instead of early?

Thanks so much!
