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 ? Yes that would be amazing!! I listed a few in the form they sent out to organize the interview but still trying to look into potential faculty with comp research. About the invite, I got at 3:35pm EST. It didn't seem particularly personalized (it was sent by the Dean of the program Sidney Strickland) but it's my first so I don't really have anything to compare with. And yes, I am international! Also, the deadline to fill out the form isn't until Jan 18th, so they might still be sending out interviews? 11 days seems like pretty long if they sent all their invites out yesterday. Did Columbia respond to your email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chr3742 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 It seems tri-institutional is sending another round of rejection. Got hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? ? Also haven't heard back from Harvard BIG ?Has anyone else heard back from them? Thank you! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be attending from February 14-17th. @bound_to_love Would you know of other people who have also received interview invites?

skyw Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) @jayaramanp If you are asking if they have sent all invites, UPenn have done sending invites for all applicants. I have already asked. Edited January 9, 2019 by skyw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyw Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 @jayaramanp " I do not believe we will be issuing any more interview invitations at this time. Sorry the news isn’t better.

It should be noted that the letter of acceptance was sent in December, perhaps delayed by the recent Canada Post strike.

They do take forever to mail out acceptance letters though - I actually never received mine and had to chase down the program coordinator to get a scanned version before the deadline to respond was up. If you're worried, shoot the grad coordinator an email and I'm sure they would be happy to update you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biophys123 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Anyone else still waiting to hear back from MIT CSB? I saw on the results page that some people have already heard back about interviews, and some have already been rejected. I have heard nothing (double-checked my spam folder), and just wondering if anyone else is still waiting to hear anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
