Finally got the ax from U Penn?

Same Here. I truly care less now that I know how long ago interviews were sent out. It's more of an "about time" feeling at this point!

Hi everyone! Anyone know if University of Rochester is done sending out invites? I connected with them at SfN and even had a lovely skype with one of the faculty... I was hoping for an interview but no word yet... I see in the results some interviews went out. Anyone got any info?

In the same boat! Thought I had a good chance, but no new interview invites after Monday. Wondering if there’s a waitlist or if they’re still working on reviewing applications. With the interview weekend so close, I kind of doubt they’ll be sending any more invites after early next week at the latest. Any info would be great!!

Hi all! Did anyone else apply to the XDBio program at Johns Hopkins/have you heard anything?

I got an email (I think Monday?) saying that I was invited to interview, and I just got the email today with the actual details. I unfortunately have absolutely no idea if they'll be sending out more or to how many people this was extended. It does seem like there will be only one interview weekend in early February unless you absolutely couldn't make the scheduled dates... but I could be wrong.

Which program? I applied to the Wellcome Trust Doctoral Training Programme, and I've heard nothing. But then again, I would expect results to be sent out next week probably. After all, while the interview period is approaching fast, they closed the application window less than a week ago.

Yes, the Wellcome Trust one. It seems like in previous years people have received the interview invitations this week... but probably you're right. I am just too impatient lol.

Just got an email from UCI saying my application has been received and is now available to review??? What can this mean?? ?

@theschuster I also got that email!  I wonder if they are reviewing applications in waves potentially?  If I recall correctly didn’t someone say they got an interview invite from uci?  I think the email is just letting us know we are under review now, idk.

I got that email too. I highly doubt it since the next interview date is less than 2 weeks away..

Based on the results page they have already sent two rounds of interviews, one in Dec. and one last week. Some people are saying it's a mistake...lmao

I just received offer from my top choice and accepted it at once yesterday. But I got another interview invitation 2 weeks ago and its date is end of Jan. Should I cancel that? They have already sent me details about hotel and flight hours ago.

I say still keep your options open. You may end up liking the other program more than you expect.

I have to be honest, I'm pretty frustrated with my experience so far. I have 4 years of full-time experience, over 20 publications, 4.0 in my MS, 3.0 undergrad GPA, strong letters of recommendation and lots of teaching/ presentation experience but I keep receiving rejections. So far only 1 interview and 7 rejections... I'm still waiting to hear from 5 more schools, but I'm starting to feel pretty discouraged and confused. Anybody else in the same boat?
