[bluestone 3]

Hey guys, i know we have a profile thread already. But since interviews are coming out, let's post the interview dates here so that we can try to avoid potential conflicts. Best of luck with everyone's applications and interviews!

I'll start. Here are the one's I know. Some I received official emails, some i simply emailed and asked for the date:

MIT Biological Engineering: 3/16-3/17

UPenn Bioengineering: 2/8-2/10, 2/22-2/24 (emailed and asked)

Johns Hopkins: 2/8-2/9, 3/1-3/2 (according to their department website)

UC Berkeley/UCSF: 2/10-2/13, 2/24-2/27

MIT HST: 3/1-3/3 (according to the email they sent out after you submit your app)

Does anyone know for MIT and Stanford what the likelihood of being accepted after the interview is?

Northwestern BME is 2/8-2/9, at least that's what they told us (I'm in the programs student organization)

This looks like it should be a week where many of the invites are sent out, if prior years' data is a good indicator. Good luck to everyone!

I think the odds are fairly promising at MIT, unless you clearly don't know what you're talking about or are rude. From what I've read on these forums, Stanford seems to be slightly more stringent after interviews (or maybe just less stringent before them?), but I'd expect the odds are still above 60–70%. I'll still be preparing well, but I don't think it should be worth stressing about. See you there!

Did you receive information about recruitment in a email separate from your "Check your application" email I would assume? I was also accepted but have not received any information about that event.

Hi! Yes, I got a separate email from the department inviting me. Details were in an attached letter from the Director of Graduate Studies.
