laveritecestla Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 @extramaniac It's hard to say anything more specific than stellar grades from R1 institutions. Many of the people in my Ph.D. cohort were rejected from Stanford, so I'm guessing research fit is also a big part of it. I spent the summer before applying at Stanford working in Bioengineering and met with the chair of the admissions committee and was still rejected (probably because of my GPA), so who you know definitely isn't all of it. extramaniac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyw Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Did anyone apply to Gatech -Emory BME? Saw someone already got accepted , kinda nervous. Did anyone didn't reach out to professors as I do? It seems they really want to you to talk to a professor beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummybear9 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Does anyone know if UCSD is done sending out interview offers? I haven’t gotten a rejection yet but I haven’t gotten an interview either. It’s making me nervous since UCSD is my top choice after being rejected from Berkeley/UCSF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like they've sent out a few rejections already, so maybe it depends on POI/research interest. gummybear9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way before application season, I talked to the Program Coordinator and one POI and they both said that first offers will be sent out by mid-Feb. Do they mention interviews in the FAQs? I don't think so, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, right? I haven't checked the FAQs, but the interviews seem pretty standard. Seems like it's been a mixed bag of interviews and rejections so far, so I wouldn't be surprised if they evaluate by research area. But I have no idea, honestly.

ruiruiruij Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Does anyone know if JHU sends out invites over a few days? Saw someone got invites already. I was contacted by JHU POI a week ago for an informal phone interview but haven't received a formal interview invite and am freaking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 73 invitations for over 500 applicants. I would love to know the stats for admission once offered an interview Edited January 15, 2019 by girlbui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeab Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 A little late to the party but I thought I'd hop on here to wait it out with you guys. I'm a bit more relaxed because of two recent acceptances (UT Austin, U Chicago) and an on campus interview (USC) but nevertheless I find myself anxiously refreshing results. Best of luck to everyone else! Teaching Faculty Wannabe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teaching Faculty Wannabe Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 The results page is literally the worst seeing people get on-campus interviews to schools I applied to and just waiting, hoping, I get one. However, congrats @reeab! That's so awesome! I promise, I am not salty at all! I am just bitter for being so anxious about this and you should be super proud of yourself! Good luck to everyone and I hope we all get good news soon! sgaw10 and StHoly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StHoly Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I know we have technically 3 months left for decisions / deadlines, at least 1 month give or take before the schools send out all the invitations for interviews / offers. It is still kinda depressing to think "Ok, I'm not their first choice" after the first few waves of invitations starting beginning of this month. starkid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
