that's great news john. the PI's decision to fly you over there must mean they're seriously considering having you as a graduate student. best of luck!

Congrats to everyone who has been accepted or invited for interviews! I heard from UPenn Immunology a week ago and earlier today I got an email from UW Immunology.. absolutely stoked... Best of luck to all!

congrats ash!

hey guys. i also got rejected. taking 1 or 2 in 400 is pretty crazy if you ask me... haha. i imagine there must be a legitimate reason behind that, possibly because of extremely limited funding for international students. like ash mentioned it would have been nice if they had a chance to check out our LORs and SOP because that will definitely play a big role in their decisions imo. on the other hand, it is nice to save some money from not paying the application fee. other schools im applying to: U of Washington UCSF Stanford UC Berkeley U of Penn U of Chicago Columbia Mount Sinai Weill Cornell honestly, i really dont know what my chances are in any of these schools but you never know unless you try. where are you guys located? i'm from Vancouver, Canada. good luck to everyone with the rest of your apps!

I also submitted a pre-application and have not heard back yet. The program administrators told me that only the official application needs to be submitted by the Dec 5 deadline. They will continue to accept scores and transcripts after Dec 5. Perhaps the review process at UCSD occurs a little later compared to most of the other schools.
