I genuinely worried if I made all the wrong choices for a bit since most of my programs weren't mentioned on any threads lol. But I suppose we all have different fits, especially at the PhD stage. Still, I can't find much info related to my programs here so I would appreciate any insights. Intl applicant, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you just been lucky and they are all on different weekends? Most of them had different weekend options that work for me. Also, for one of them, I had the alternative to schedule a Skype interview. Plus, I have two interviews scheduled back to back. I'm still hoping to hear back from one more which is on my top 3.

I'm glad it all worked out for you! I am waiting to hear from two of my top programs and I am worried about having to reschedule them but being busy the other weekend they offer.

episome1996 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 So, when should we start freaking out and deciding plans for next year? I haven't heard back from any of my schools. No rejections, interview offers or acceptances. Apparently Einstein does waves and Boulder doesn't send out acceptances (no interviews) for their integrative physiology PhD program until March/April.

EvoDevoTW Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 For applicants who are also waiting for Princeton Molecular Biology, I contacted the coordinator and she said that they're still in the midst of the admissions/invitation process but hope to conclude it by the middle of next week.
