Hello!
It's kinda late in the cycle but I thought I'd share some of the programs I've applied to and how they're proceeding with the interview process. Currently finishing my undergrad at a mid-level state school and focused on butterfly behavioral/wing-patterning genetics labs. Here are the programs I applied to for Fall 2022:
UChicago - EEB - no word on interviews yet
Cornell - EEB - interviews conducted via Zoom on January 27th & 28th, will pay for admitted students to visit
UMichigan - EEB - interviews conducted via Zoom on February 3rd & 4th, will pay for admitted students to visit
UC Irvine - EEB - interviews conducted via Zoom from January 24-28 (you schedule individual meetings with faculty with the help of your potential PI)
(I also applied to UC San Diego's CDB PhD program and UFlorida's Entomology PhD program and haven't gotten any word back on the recruitment process yet.)
If anyone has any advice on the interview process or where to get more info on it I'd love to hear!
