  1. Just noticed that I am the top poster in this group! So, why not one last rant? Max anxiety with depression for the last few months. Applied to just 5 good univs and my SOP was focused on my current research and was directly related to POIs (Was really stubborn to pursue what I am doing now). (Un)fortunately, got rejected from all. Realized a few things now which I hadn't known before applying - For Int'l students it is quite challenging to get into (despite 3 great LORs); Should not have restricted/narrowed down myself to just one super-specific field. Anyway, having said all these, still not sure what else led to my rejection. Thought about it for almost a month, every day and minute. Maybe my SOP, maybe my UG GPA (3.2; thought my MS GPA and research at Harvard would compensate). Maybe its everything together. But, who knows? After a lot of confusion and lot more of vodka, finally made peace with it all. Not gonna apply in 2022-23 cycle. Nope. Thankfully, my research experience paid off - ended up getting multiple good positions in leading therapeutic companies. It came as a blessing in disguise. During one of my job interviews, a scientist said "PhD will wait, you still have plenty of time" - and it kinda made sense. Gonna kick off a new life. Maybe this will open up new avenues or help me find a new field of interest. Everything happens for a reason. For those who got into their dream ambitious univs or got settled with the backup safe univs - Congrats! and I am happy for you! Wish you great luck! Hope we meet and discuss science in the future! For those who did not get into any - Cry for a month or so and shrug it off with a smile cos there is a reason behind everything. Hope you lead a great life! Signing off ~~
  2. Did anyone get reply from U Nebraska Med Center IGPBS program?
  3. No. I saw people who submitted close to deadline (Dec 1) receive interview invites quite soon, around Dec 10
  4. Me too. The first round of interview is scheduled this thursday.
  5. Hey! When did you apply? I applied on Jan 3 and they said my application is scheduled to be reviewed in the first week of Feb. Yes. The coordinator is very helpful!
  6. I got an email today morning saying the applications are under review. Please check status in application status page. But it seems to be a generic email.
  7. Seems so. Everyone got the same email. Me too. Very weak chances of getting called back. #ByeBU
  8. Someone mentioned in Reddit that they received CMM invite in mid of december. Also the interview is in next week. I lost hope on that
  9. Nope. Still waiting. Emailed a couple of times but to no response. It is unlikely that they sent interviews earlier than dec 20. But not sure though. Usually they send it just before holidays.
  10. Hey! When did you apply to UNMC and which program?
  11. Hey! Is it IGPBS in UNMC? Did you hear back from them?
  12. Any program has applications still open - like having deadlines in Feb / March? I saw Univ of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) IGPBS open till March-April.
  13. I emailed JHU two days back asking about the status but got no reply. I saw in the results that they have started sending invites for BCMB Program. So hoping for some updates from CMM soon.
  14. Vandy gave a set invites last week wednesday (15th). The invites from Vandy come in waves - each week a few invites from Dec to Jan
  15. Anyone heard from JHU CMM or Vandy IGP? Vandy gave a few invites last week and disappeared!
  16. Hopefully! Do you know by any chance how many students PiBS admits each year? There are a lot of professors in PiBS advising.
