[Biomedical Science PhD Applicants (Fall 2021)]

Did anyone who already got an offer from UNC BBSP have Pharmacology as your main program of interest? And if so did they call or email?

Also, the sad part is many people must be following this thread but very few are actively posting about their interviews, acceptances, and rejections which makes it very hard to get an idea about a particular school's thought process on sending invites. We need more people to actively participate

Ok I’m convinced...I tried to save myself by permanently blocking this site on my laptop but I gave in and now I’m on my phone ? 

 

Anyway I have a ton of research & project leadership experience (with papers / strong recs)  - but I have major unavoidable flaws in other aspects of my app. Definitely not a traditional profile lol. So tbh I’m not sure how representative my results are going to be for other people in terms of decisions but maybe it will at least help with planning schedules. 

 

I applied to UNC BBSP, UVA BIMS, Pitt Systems Bio, Pitt IBGP, Vanderbilt IGP, Duke CMB, Duke Pharmacology, Michigan PIBS (pharm track), UW Madison CMB, UW Madison MCP, and Penn State Biomed Sci

 

So far I have heard back from: 

UNC - interview 1/28-29

UVA - interview options 1/14-15 or 2/18-19

Pitt SysBio - interview feb 1

Pitt Biomed - interview Jan 14-15

Wisc CMB - interview options 1/15-16, 1/22-23, 2/5-6

 

I have also heard from friends that Duke Pharm (and therefore also duke molecular cancer bio) is doing interviews Jan 10-12 and 24-26 (but possibly only Jan 11-12 and 25-26, conflicting sources). 

 

Anyone heard from Duke PCB or CMB, Michigan PIBS, or Vanderbilt IGP? There are some survey results for Vanderbilt but they were invited before the final deadline so I’m wondering if anyone who submitted after the 1st has gotten anything.
