Yeah just the umbrella program with no indicated specialties. You got invited for immunology?

It was the Integrated Program in Cellular, Molecular and Biomedical Studies. I got invited for that program with a specialization in Microbiology and Immunology since I indicated that on my application as my preferred track.

Penn BGS (Immunology)
Yale BBS (Micro)
UChicago BMS (Immunology)

Yeah in this case UCSD's two options overlap with UNC and Scripps. My interview with UNC is confirmed while Scripps won't send invites until January. If I get an interivew from Scripps I'll probably decline in favor of UCSD.

Of course, I also applied to the neuro program at UCSD, so I have no idea what I'll do if I get an interview for both programs. I guess I'll probably just pick whichever I prefer. Going to two interviews at the same school seems like a lot.

What are the interview dates for Scripps? I haven't been able to find them anywhere

UCSD biological sciences came out today as well!

Is this the same as the Biology PhD program or the BMS program? there seems to be 3 types of bio programs for ucsd in the results page lol

I got the UCLA chem admission last year. Chem programs usually don't require interviews, so they give offers directly.

Has anyone heard from Brandeis Molecular and Cell Biology? I saw one post in the results but it's from a few weeks ago and no one has posted since. Thank you!

BMS is separate from biological sciences. Pretty sure biology and biological sciences are the same.

gotcha, i think the one person who put on the results page from "the division of biological sciences" meant the BMS program since there arent any other biology invites posted, phew. 

[NoG4C2forYou]

Got an interview to Berkeley MCB! They called me yesterday and today, but I was in finals ?

[curious_who]

Does anyone know if Yale BBS MGCD is done sending out interview invites.?

That's pretty nice to not have to interview with all the other campus visits going on.
