Ecstatic to have accepted my offer from Tulane BMS this morning!!! All facets of the program perfectly complement and support my goals (plus NOLA culture and nightlife is supposed to be a once in a lifetime experience!). After dealing with the dumpster fire that was my Fall 2021 admission cycle I'm so relieved and grateful to have made it to this point. The 3 Texas schools are still pending post-interview, but I will be declining those offers as soon as they come in to give other students a chance at their dream program. I wish you all the best!

I have decided to accept my offer with the Mayo Clinic for their Molecular Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics program, and I am tremendously excited, humbled, and appreciative!
I was waiting on the Stanford Biosciences (CSB). After reaching out, I was told they were interested in me but likely wouldn't have an update on my admission status until mid March. This tells me best case scenario I might get the last spot if multiple people turn it down. 
My deadline to respond to Mayo's offer was today, Feb 28th (two weeks after receiving the offer). I liked this program and did not want to risk losing this opportunity.  Now I get to visit!
So relieved to be done with this process. Best of luck to everyone and congrats to those with offers. I am a true believer in "everything happens for a reason". 

I just want to add this to the thread. Here are some programs that I know of that can give you additional research experience or just a research intensive job in between application cycles. 
PREP programs- 1 year program intended to better prepare you for admissions into a PhD https://www.nigms.nih.gov/training/PREP/Pages/PartInstPREP.aspx
American public health labs post-bac fellowship (many of the labs are at the cdc) https://www.aphl.org/fellowships/Pages/default.aspx
Bridges to the doctorate- nih funded masters degree (I did one of these!) participating https://www.nigms.nih.gov/maps/Pages/Bridges-to-the-Doctorate-Program-Participating-Institutions.aspx
programs like these also exist at other schools under similar names I know the University of Virginia has one. 
If anyone else knows of similar programs please add them!

I just got into HARVARD! The virology program. It was my number 1 choice and i'm so excited. i would like to ask you guys opinion. I have 5 more interviews but is it better to decline the interviews and free up the waitlist? my mentor says i should see the interviews through so that i can make an informed decision. what do you think?

I received an interview invite from Scripps in Florida on 1/11, not sure if they all went out at once though!

I'm guessing they are not out yet but might begin coming in next week (that's just my observation from what I've seen on the results posting page). I am waiting for them too!

Has anyone received answers from the Yale BBS Microbiology track??

I totally did a double take too. I applied for Micro, hope to see you there! 

To whom did you email - I mean who is the admissions director?

See my post above

I'm not sure, but the email they sent wasn't personalized like most other invites so I think it might have been a mass email.

I heard from a Harvard PI that Harvard BBS is experiencing some delays and will continue to send out invites over the weekend, so don't panic if you haven't heard anything yet.

Does Harvard BBS send invites in waves or all at once?

Does Harvard BBS send invites in waves or all at once?

Same, some people just got emails, others got some at 2... 
Staying positive til the end of the day. 

I posted on reddit asking if anyone else had heard from Harvard BBS and people replied saying the admissions committee is sending out invites Dec 17-20. And historically it's come out on a Friday. I went back to older results and it looks like they come out around 2ish. Fingers crossed! 

Hey all,
I felt like I should introduce myself since I've been watching this thread like a hawk haha
I'm a senior getting a BS in biochemistry from a medium sized private university in the US (shouldn't be hard to guess if you google my username lol). I have a 3.97 GPA and I didn't take the GRE.
I have 2+ years of academic research lab experience. I spent a summer interning at a pharmaceuticals company R&D lab and since last summer I have been an employee/intern at the NIH in one their extramural offices.
I have one review publication where I'm third author and I have two other research publications in the works. I also have three (I'm assuming strong) LORs from my PI, thesis advisor/mentor, and my boss at the NIH.
I applied to ten schools for a PhD in mid November. Yale BBS MMPP, Harvard BBS, UNC BBSP, Duke CMB, Emory BCDB, UT Austin CMB, UTSW BBS, BCM DDMT, U Washington Seattle M3D, Northwestern Driskill Program.
Thus far I have gotten interview offers from UNC, BCM and Emory.

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

My portals for the two schools I received invites from both still say "Under Review" so I think it's different at each place. Last year, when I applied to Iowa State Biochemistry, it said "Decision Made" or something similar 

ooh nice I didn't know about the invite dates from previous cycles, thanks!
I actually just found this: https://gsbs.tufts.edu/admissions/degreePrograms/reviewProcess which confirms your thought-- they say "After the application deadline has passed, each program reviews all complete applications." So I feel better about it now. Good luck, hope we hear back soon!
