Hi there, yes I was invited to the first interview date but had to choose the second interview date since I was already interviewing somewhere else at that time. I mentioned researchers I was interested in in my personal statement and all of them were my interviewers except for one.

I received an interview for Thomas Jefferson on 1/5/21. I am interviewing on 1/27 and 1/28.

I received an interview invitation for Thomas Jefferson on 1/5/21. My interview dates are 1/27 and 1/28.

Hi! This is my first cycle applying to PhD programs. My initial route was to wait another year and spend a year in my current PI's lab. However, he encouraged me to throw my hat in the ring this time around. I am a non-traditional applicant (originally Pre-vet with 2000 hours of experience, then pre-med with 800 hours of experience, then clinical research for another 1,000 hours) but the common denominator is that I have had a passion for science all along. My undergrad major is Biotechnology and I graduated Magna Cum Laude. In undergrad, I worked on a few different research projects including surveying cancer patients and caregivers as well as veterinary topics. I went abroad for 3 months to the University of Cambridge to work on organoids. Ended up deciding a PhD is the route I wanted to take but thought I would give myself more time in academic research. My PI said to apply now. I am excited about individualized therapeutics and hereditary cancers. I applied to Biomedical Science programs at Thomas Jefferson, Drexel, and Temple. I just submitted my app for Temple yesterday since the deadline isn't for another month. I've been invited to interview at Thomas Jefferson and Drexel, 2 for 2. I am only applying to Philadelphia based schools. My fiancé and I just moved here, cross country, from California. He got accepted to Temple medical school and is an MS1. Any advice?
