I’m not sure about all UC schools, but I did hear that about UCSF so didn’t end up applying there. I would say Stowers is very international friendly, and so are most schools in NYC!

Has any international students get invitation from the UCSD Biosciences??
I haven’t heard anything either. But I think it’s a rejection because one of their interview dates already passed, and the next is Feb 4-5th. If they had to invite they would have. Seems like all of their invites went out in dec.

away from you, but just dropping in to say that when I did interviews (in person) I didn't wear any "business casual", and still to this day do not own a blazer lol. My go-to was knitted/sweater dresses in muted colors. I interviewed with 4 schools and was probably among the least dressed up for all of them. Ended up with offers from all 4 ?♀️
Thanks for this! Very reassuring since I was just planning to wear a sweater and I keep hearing people talk about blazers and I really wasn’t in the mood of spending more money than I already have haha

For the past few years, invites have gone out towards the end of the second week of January, so I'm hoping they'll be consistent and we'll find out later this week. Good luck!
I hope so! Looking back on GC for Stanford Dev Bio (which is what I applied for), the department at least seem to send notifications in Dec. I’ve already seen one Dev Bio invite which went on 11th Dec, so I’m not putting too much hope in Stanford for me lol

It's always worth getting feedback on your application[s].
I also got a rejection and I ended up replying to it asking for feedback. Apparently they got too many requests to give individual feedback, and basically sent a generic email saying the same things about applying that are on their website.
I’m curious to see if anyone else heard something different.

I applied to UCSD Biological Sciences too and haven’t heard back

Hi all!!
It's really great to find a pool for international students and specially on biomedical science PhD program.
I am also an international student with non-USA degrees. I have applied in total 09 programs and till date received invitation from University of Maryland, MMI program.
I would be glad to know if anyone received updates/ invitations for the programs mentioned below.
1. University of Washington (Pathobiology)
2. University of Texas Health and Science Center-San Antonio (BSP)
3. Case Western Reserve University (BSTP)
4. University of Georgia (Cellular Biology)
5. University of Utah (Molecular Biology)
6. Drexel University (Microbiology & Immunology)
7. University of Nebraska Medical Center (IGPBS)
8. Rutgers University (I3)Thank you all and I wish everyone gets into their dream school. Waiting ain't easy!!
I heard back from Utah Mol Bio in December for an interview, it’s in late Feb. Congrats on the interview at Maryland!

Hi all. I'm feeling a bit nervous for my interviews but mostly excited!
I found this great videocast from the NIH all about grad school interviews:https://videocast.nih.gov/watch=35325
Thanks so much for sharing this find! I thought it was very insightful with actionable steps. Eased my anxiety quite a bit!

Hey, University of Utah is common between us. I am interviewing there on January 29th. Is it the same for you? I applied for Bioscience PhD program - Biological Chemistry Track!
Nice! Mine is on Feb 26th! I think they’re different tracks that’s probs why interview dates are also different.

Hi all! I've been lurking pretty heavily here (and other threads) since lord knows when, so I thought it's time to contribute:) I am an international student from India and did my BS in the US, and have been working as a research technician for about 2 years now. I applied to the following programs:
- Vanderbilt IGP
- UVa BIMS
- Duke UPGG
- University of Utah, Biosciences (Mol Bio)
- Princeton Mol Bio
- Stanford Dev Bio
- Cornell (Ithaca) GGD
- UCSD Biological Sciences
- UC Davis BMCDB
- CU Boulder MCDB
- Stowers Graduate SchoolOther than Stanford and Stowers, all my apps were submitted ~10 days before the Dec1 deadline. So far I have heard back from Duke, Utah, and Stowers for an interview. I'm not holding onto hope for Vandy, UVa, and UCSD since I've seen invites go out and have heard nothing from the schools.
Congrats to all those who got interviews!

I’ll echo others and say the same. If you have a US degree then you can do OPT. I tried applying in 2017, but realized that I need a break from school. I’ve been working in a lab for two years now. I was able to get a publication from it, and I got interested in something totally different from what I thought I wanted to do. It also exposed me to a lot of other career options beyond academia , and gave me a realistic view of what to expect in the next few years. I would highly recommend! Plus it’s good to save some money in this time.
