Hi everyone! I've been following along with the forum, but just wanted to post my questions here.
Short bio: big state school, 4.0 gpa, genetics major with a minor in cs. Started research the summer before college started, worked in labs ever since. Worked at a total of 2 academic labs, with 1 summer internship in industry. 1 publication, 1 poster, 1 review and a first author paper in prep/review. Currently working on my honors thesis.
Where I applied/got interviews: Yale (interview invite 12/11), Harvard BBS, Columbia (interview invite 12/18), Weill Cornell PBSB (interview invite 12/23), MD Anderson, Baylor (interview invite 12/11), UChicago GGSB (interview invite 12/18), UCLA (interview invite 12/14), GSK, UPenn (interview invite 12/13)
I applied broadly because I really didn't think I would have so many interview requests, but I'm very grateful. I was just wondering when would be the best time to reach out to potential PIs to see if they are taking on graduate students? I feel like asking during interviews would be very odd, so should I be reaching out now?
