ClayR Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 Hey all, Thought it would be nice to have a thread for comp bio interviews/admissions apart from the general bio thread. Programs I’m waiting to hear from: Harvard SysBio Princeton QCB Tri-I CBM CPCB (won’t be announced till January, I did an NSF fellowship at Pitt this summer so I have the inside scoop on this one) Caltech SysBio UCSD BISB Baylor QCB Let’s keep each other updated, and good luck to y’all! antanon82, bound_to_love, jmillar and 1 other 3 1
Crucial BBQ Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 Great idea to keep the topic separate. Good luck!
skyw Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) Joining in UPenn GCB The University of Washington genome sciences ( rejected ) Dartmouth QCB ( rejected ) Mt Sinai genetics and data sciences UMich pibs ( bioinformatics) Boston University bioinformatics Tri- computational biology program Gatech ( bioinformatics ( BME)) CSHL ( computational biology focus) and some general biology program...... I really hope that I could get some invite, let's prey Edited December 15, 2018 by skyw

bound_to_love Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 I received the email inviting me to the interview with UPenn on December 7th, @skyw.
skyw Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 Thank you!!! and good luck with your application God, I really want to go there @bound_to_love

bound_to_love Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 Yes, I'm almost certain that's the track I applied to, though from what I've heard I think other tracks were also hearing back, @ClayR

Any idea what the Skype interview means? Seems uncommon, most schools just do in-person.
bound_to_love Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 @ClayR, I literally had my interview today after receiving an email from them on Monday. It was a mix of research (technical and descriptive) and personal.
bound_to_love Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 Well as long as you don't get a rejection there's hope @skyw! Good luck with your applications, too! skyw 1

bound_to_love Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 @brdu, UPenn has two weekend interview dates: one January 10-13th and the other February 14-17th. I'll be attending from February 14-17th.
Helen1222 Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 Just curious, Does someone want to apply in clinical informatics field rather than bioinfor?
immerbesserwerden Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 Anyone knows if UCLA GPB would (or has historically been willing to) provide alternative interview dates?
skyw Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 UMich PIBS program rejected...... kinda disappointed
