empress_empiria Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Yes I am very worried about overlapping trips (have a big international research related one). I think Stanford just has interviews in early march. I would *like* to think they would notify before end of january.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeaway Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 honestly I'm scared what my calendar's going to look like when more news comes out (also Stanford whenever that happens xD) because I already have a couple weekends booked off for Hopkins and such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's BU for BME, I'm not going to pass on that visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also interned for a tech company in Palo Alto where I developed my invention Publications/Abstracts/Presentations: 3 papers (all 2nd author) from a BME lab.

Lots of random scholarships recognition. 2nd place best presentation in a conference. Grants to those 2 labs I mentioned above Fellowships/Funding: I applied to zero before I applied to the school.

Stanford said the interview decisions are out in early March so I guess the interview dates would be later March then. Can anyone tell me if they will have dates to pick like Berkeley and JHU do? I have an international conference and an oral presentation on March 8-10 ?? can’t back out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummybear9 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I got into UC Riverside! I applied as a safety but I genuinely love the research and I'm so thrilled. I'm going to grad school! I feel so much less anxious now about other schools. StHoly and MJB100 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrownEukaryote Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I am an international student and received acceptance (no interview/visit) from Boston University a couple of days ago! Do you guys have any idea whether international students are given a chance to visit the university before making the decision? Any idea about travel awards?

From what I've heard, typically international students don't get to invited to visit the university. I would suggest talking to the director of admissions or whoever you're in contact with. 1 hour ago, gummybear9 said: I got into UC Riverside!

If I were you, I'd start contacting potential PIs and ask them to put you in contact with their graduate students. The students could give you Skype/Facetime tours and talk to you about other stuff you may be interested in. Congratulations on your admission!

AnotherThrowawayAccount Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Someone posted an interview for Stanford in the results page. Not sure how legit it is. I'm super wary of people trolling on this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Rich Asian Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Generic question here: since I only applied for Master's programs (not PhD), I assume that I need to wait longer for my admission decision than most of you guys? Since they screen the PhD applications first and then move rejected candidates to the Master's application If that is indeed the case, when can I roughly expect the results for my applications (Feburary? March?) ? Need to plan the upcoming months, can't just sit at home everyday to wait for e-mails... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past they've sent out all their interview offers at the same time, so if no one else posts about it today/tomorrow it's probably fake.
