I applied to Harvard Virology and Yale Micro too!! I haven't heard back yet...
I wonder why Harvard's Virology and Yale's Micro programs are taking longer than usual to review applicants this year. I heard from a prof at Harvard that it was going to be a 'very competitive this year'. At the time, I thought I'd still be competitive but I don't know now if they're taking THIS long...
I only applied to four schools (1. Harvard Virology DMS, 2. Yale Microbiology track BBS, 3. Stanford Genetics, and 4. UC Berkeley Infectious Diseases and Immunity) because I was looking for really specific programs... Now I'm starting to regret not applying to more. It's going to be pretty depressing if I don't receive any interviews.
