Well looks like a 0/10 kind of year, irvine cmb has sent out recruiting event info already so guess everyone else is on a waitlist

Well looks like that's it for me, 1 interview from UCI and radio silence/rejections from all the other schools

Someone on reddit that got an interview said there was a internal deadline to respond by 12/20 to which dates they were available for upenn igg. Guess that means everything is out unless they do another batch

All harvard immuno results are sent out according to program coordinator, expect rejections in March

Anyone know if harvard immunology has sent out all the invites yet?

Just got one from UCI for CMB, 1st interview!

Looking at previous years it seems it doesn't really get busy until late November when everyone's apps are submitted
