Based on the results page, it seems like relatively few people have heard back so far. Is your name near the beginning of the alphabet? I emailed the program administrator to ask if invites are still going out, will post response when I get it... I think they send out invitation one by one. Invitation letter was from the program director and cc'ed the student manager, which is kinda unlikely to be a mass email. My first and last names are both near the beginning of the alphabet. I really hope I have addressed some of your concerns, and all best lucks of your application! compbiogirl, ClayR, bcarmel and 2 others 1 4
ClayR Posted December 23, 2018 Author Posted December 23, 2018 @dac614 thanks so much, I think that gives hope to the rest of us! ? LaurenEm 1

Also wondering if I'm aiming too high as an international ? No news: BIG@Harvard (I don't know if no news means rejection ? QCB@Princeton Biology@Stanford Bioinformatics@BU Interviews: Human Genetics@U Chicago SysBio@Columbia Rejections: Genome Sciences@UW Computational Biology@Cornell Good luck everyone for their interviews! Have you heard back from Harvard BIG? Thanks so much! :)

bound_to_love Posted December 26, 2018 Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) @redlouis, I heard from Princeton QCB on Saturday around 2 p.m. EST. Edited December 26, 2018 by bound_to_love
ClayR Posted December 28, 2018 Author Posted December 28, 2018 Has anybody heard from Princeton QCB after last Saturday? If they weren’t done yet with invites, I would have thought they would’ve resumed sending them already

fux Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Just want to ask here whether anyone knows whether USCD BISB was done with their interview invites?

aew1996 Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 I just got a phone call inviting me to Harvard Biostatistics open house (presumably this is an acceptance)?
chr3742 Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 It’s a great idea to put all news here. Thanks! No news: MIT-CSB Berkeley Tri-institutional UCSD UCLA Duke Rejected: Cornell (CB) UMich (PIBS) Columbia (biomedical informatics) Interview: UChicago (GGSB) I’m losing hope on getting interview other than UChicago given it’s Jan. 6 already. Is it safe to say that all universities had sent out onsite invitations? Have you guys heard any invitations emailed on Jan. in previous years?

If they didn't specify that you were accepted, I'm pretty sure it's not, but it's highly likely that you will be.

LaurenEm Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Has anyone else heard back from Columbia C2B2 or biomedical informatics? I saw a round of invites in December, and then a round of rejections in January. But I still haven't heard anything. Also dying inside because I saw Rockefeller has started sending out invites, and still nothing from Harvard BIG. Is this the real life? ?
icerm4 Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 I've seen some MIT CSB interviews trickle in... Anybody know if the interviews have been all sent out? ?

Which professors are you interested in working with at Rockefeller? I just got an invite to interview but my interests are mostly genomics/comp bio and I'm worried there might not be too many PIs working in those fields

I had the same concern when applying and TBH if I could have a do-over I'd probably apply for Einstein instead (much larger group of CB faculty there). I have a list of potential PIs with maybe computational projects I can PM you later Questions about your invite: When did it go out, did it seem personalized, and are you also international? Also, I saw in another thread that you'd posted about Columbia. I have received absolutely from them too, and I emailed them about the status of my app last week ?
