BrdNerd Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Anyone hear from EEB or CEB? I accidentally stumbled into a lit PhD results page where they were discussing fake early results in the results section. The results section said invited were sent out 12/15 and they’re only taking 4 people. Holding out hope that’s not true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
failing_upward Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Since it has been more than 6 weeks since I submitted, and it has almost been 6 weeks since the deadline, I feel I should send out an inquiry email. However, I don't have the slightest clue how to ask. I am so worried that no matter what I do I'm just going to look needy or impatient or nosey.

I talked to the interviewers for 30 minutes and the weekend was spent with other faculty members, students, and "upperclassmen". I don't want it to seem tacky or want to seem insincere I am. It's a nice touch. In my program they suggest we do. Just thanks for your time and stuff not a whole essay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesophophile Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I have two questions. Harvard BBS Interview - does it matter what interview weekend one goes to? I have selected the February one (as an international applicant, need some time to sort out visa etc) but was worried many places would have already been given out to students attending the January interviews MIT Biology / Stanford Biosciences Interview - has anyone received interview invites / rejections from these programs yet?

I don't think so. They were supposed to send out the official email (from Biosciences, not the individual depts) on Friday, but they did not. I take that to mean that some home programs are still sending invites and that's why the main official email hasn't gone out yet. 098549039 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The invite I got was from the Molecular biosciences (not the specific sub-divisions within that), so I assume EEB/ CEB will both come from the Darwinian Sciences dept. I did get the email on 12/10 though so they got around to sending stuff out real quick. Would also be really surprised if they were only inviting four people.

Ayub2306 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Any idea anyone if UChicago has sent out all the invites. I am an international applicant and I am really anxious about the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorykinss Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) I applied to the Genetics, Genomics and Systems Biology program but I haven't heard back.

Benjamin977 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hi applicants! Does anyone recently hear from Albert Einstein College of Medicine? I saw few posts of this school, kind of wondering their progress of review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CancerBiology Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Are we supposed to hear back from Stanford Biomedical Sciences this week? Has anybody else applied to Cancer bio?

You'll probably get an email from the travel agency a week before your interview date. I wouldn't worry about it. They seem to be on top of it.

Re: Harvard BBS interview. It doesn't matter which weekend you choose. Typically, there are fewer recruits the second weekend, but they try to admit the same percentage of students both weekends.

Nope. The department contact said I would get the follow-up email on the 11th - I think it's just taking longer to get invites out than they expected.

Yeah on the website it says under review but I just got a text from one of the PIs asking if I can come the first week but I cannot. Apparently the second week is overbooked.
