    Did anyone not hear from Duke CBB yet? I saw some admissions and rejections but I didn't receive any emails yet, nor did my portal update. 

    Hey, I heard from Duke CBB yesterday where I got an email to check my portal because the admissions decision was updated. Maybe they are sending them out in batches since you haven't heard anything yet? Hope everything works out

  2. Duke CBB [Interview Invitation 12/16]

    Yale CBB [Interview Invitation 12/17]

    Princeton QCB [Interview Invitation 12/12]

    MIT CSB [Formally Rejected]

    MIT Biology [Assume rejected]

    University of Washington MCB [Interview Invitation 12/21]

    University of Colorado Denver Computational Biosciences [Interview Invitation 12/22]

    Georgia Institute of Technology- Bioinformatics [have not heard]

    Heard back from MIT CSB and was rejected. I would assume I am also rejected by MIT Bio because I haven't received an interview request yet. Oh well - no worries. It was my farthest reach and I am ecstatic with my current options regardless ?. Good luck to everyone else who applied to MIT!

  3. Heard back from UW MCB and UC Denver CB! Best of luck to everyone!

    EDIT: Mixed up the dates for UW and UCD - my bad

    New here, has any international student heard from UNC BBSP Computational biology/bioinformatics or know when one can expect a response? 

    Just a tip for those who are new: you can search to see if anyone has reported the schools they have gotten interviews from on this site under the "Results" tab above. You can search the school and program and use date filtering to help see the most recent results. You may have already known that, but it was something I recently figured out a few days ago. Hope that helps and best of luck!

    Also I just saw you applied to Gatech. I applied last cycle and they seems to require you to contact a professor for you to be accepted. They seems to send out accptance and dont have much interview. ( its the bioeningeering and cs department) but you should ask the admin this time.

    Thanks! Yeah I saw that in their application information as something they prefer. They were the only school I applied to where they really encouraged contacting a professor.

    Just curious - did everyone reach out to professors individually beforehand? I know there are mixed opinions on doing this. 

    I am similar to the other response. I only sent out emails to the PIs that were especially interesting to me and with whom I wanted to speak. I did this mainly with the schools that were my top priority. The responses from PIs were nice and usually amounted to "Thanks for the interest. If you get an interview, we will be in touch." This made me decide it was best to wait until after interview invitations to send out more emails. It doesn't seem like reaching out the professors beforehand greatly impacts your application. It has the possibility of giving you a leg up, but there's no guarantee. It seems that experience in the field is normally prioritized, and reaching out to professors is ancillary unless otherwise stated by the program. If you didn't reach out to many professors, I wouldn't worry. Good luck, and I wish you the best!
