has anybody had interviews where the interviewer didn't really do much of the talking or led an incredibly open conversation? feeling like i tanked these but don't really know what to expect 

Yeah I had one of these too. I was a bit confused and have no idea how it went tbh. still haven't heard back from that school

Hey guys, long waiting has almost driven me crazy. Today I emailed the faculty to ask about my interview, and the professor said I was on the waitlist for there were many great applicants this year. I wonder the chance for me to be accepted under this situation. It worries me so much…

Thanks for the update. I'm going a bit crazy too. I looked at the results page for last year's cycle and people received acceptances from UMass as late as march 5th. I wish you the best of luck getting off the waitlist!

I was just about to ask that. I interviewed last week and still haven't heard anything. Didn't they say decisions could come out this week?

I interviewed on the 6th and still haven't heard back. I saw some results saying some people were accepted on the 10th (but nothing else since then) so I'm starting to get a bit nervous ? It's relieving to see you haven't heard either; maybe the committee is a bit backed up on reviewing materials. The last interview day is the 24th so hopefully we'll know soon

Did anyone with an interview at UMass Chan Biomedical Sciences hear back yet after their interview? 

[Biomedical Sciences PhD Applicants (Fall 2022)]

I saw on the results page that some people received acceptances to UMass Chan Biomedical Sciences. If you're one of those accepted, what day was your interview?

Nope. No hope on BU.

I emailed the directors of both programs, and they both said they're still reviewing apps! BU PiBS said more invitations will be sent out "most likely sometime this week."

Does anyone have info on BU PiBS or Tufts CMDB program? I'm still waiting on results

Who did you email?

I did the same thing. I reached out to the head of the program (Van Vactor) and he said all invites went out by last night.

Hey,

 

If you don’t mind me asking, what did the UMass interview invite say? I’m wondering if it’s a disadvantage that I’m a non-trad. Are you applying directly out of college?

 

Thank you

It was titled "Interview Invitation: Morningside Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences." It basically said that you're invited for an interview and gave you credentials to log in and schedule your interview date/time. I'm not directly out of college; I graduated in 2020 and have been working as a lab tech since

I got an interview invitation from the UMass Chan Biomedical Sciences PhD program! Super excited!!
