Has anyone got any interview invite from any BME program? Seems like interview invites shared in the results page are all from other departments... And I am so anxious now

As I was told, some universities, if not a majority of, have two admission committees, one for domestic students and the other for international students, since these are essentially two separate pools and competition only take place within pools. So I would expect invites to be sent in different timings. Just what I've heard, don't know the exact case...

Some tips from my own experience: I did notice that while a majority of schools were asking for unofficial scripts, some schools did ask for copies of official transcripts. And actually it is explicitly noted on my official transcipt that official transcipts may only be used by the assigned recipient. So I contacted those schools asking for official transcipts about what I was supposed to do. The solution was to order an official transcipt to be sent directly to the school you are applying for. At least for the school I attended, I was able to specify the recipient of my official transcipt. Upon contacting your prospective schools, they will provide you with email addresses to be used as recipients. This works if your school uses a qualified file transfer system to send official transcipt, such as Parchment. Once your prospective schools receive your official transcipts directly sent from your attended school, they will update the status of transcipt for you and you don't need to upload any thing. Hope it helps (or it's too late )

Good luck to yall!! It actually made me even more nervous that you have already got interview invites... I mainly applied to biomedical engineering programs, not the same as yours but related, and may be even more popular than biomedical science programs... And it's quite impressive we have such a big community in biomedical fields. Cheers to the 21st century!
