Received an interview invite virtually for Mayo Clinic BMB program. Mid Jan. Have not heard anything else yet from other schools which is stressful. Has anyone applied to the University of Iowa Neuro or heard anything elsewhere about interview invites?

Awards- Departmental Distinction in Biology, Dean's List Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 LORs- One from my PI who is a well respected in bone research. One from my graduate advisor and professor and one from my undergraduate advisor. I expect them all to be well written and very strong as I have a strong relationship with all three of the letters for several years. Schools: I applied to the Mayo Clinic Biomedical Sciences Program in Biochemistry, Emory University for Neuroscience, CU Anschutz with first choice as Neuroscience and second choice as Integrative Physiology, Northwestern University for Neuroscience and the University of Iowa in Neuroscience. I am most confident and also hopeful for interviews at the Mayo Clinic and University of Iowa due to some contacts, but we will see. If anyone has applied to any of these programs keep me posted. Best of luck to everyone, I am hoping to go into the holidays having some idea of what's going on!
