But I am an international student so i am not sure when they send out the interviews. Do they send in waves (like first domestic and then international) or do they send it out together? Does anyone here knows something about it ? I emailed BU PiBS and they informed me that there are still interviews that will be sent out. Good luck!

Even most of the programs have sent out all the invites, a few programs are still reviewing the application.

Applying to Where:Washington State University (WSU) - Biology - PhDUniversity of Wisconsin-La Crosse (UWLAX) - Biology - Master's I would be ecstatic if I got accepted into either program. I haven't seen any posts about biology for either school, which leaves me in the dark. I had a prof at VT tell me I "wouldn't be a strong PhD candidate for his lab", so that's been nagging in the back of my head for a while. Anyone think I have a chance at either program?

cis-stem error Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) So I'm jumping on the worry wagon since I haven't heard back from four of my schools yet either. In particular, anyone happen to know if the University of Kansas' EEB or the University of Montana's OBBE programs have sent anything out yet? Many thanks either way! Edit: Just in case they haven't been said yet, I've heard back from University of Washington, University of Oregon, University of Minnesota, and University of Missouri.

anxiousafinternational Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Hi guys, I attended an Interview Weekend at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) from Jan 15 - Jan 19. I was told they would start sending out offers in Feb which makes sense since they have another Interview Weekend this week from Feb 4 - Feb 9. However, I saw someone posted an acceptance on Jan 24 on results page a week after the 1st interview weekend. It's a relatively small programme so no more results have shown up since. Do you think I should start panicking now since I haven't received anything and a rejection is probably coming next week? Or maybe just the super exceptional candidates were told after the first weekend and they're just waiting to see how this weekend goes to send further acceptances/decisions? Anyone else heard/know something? Aghhhh the wait is dreadful and this programme is def my top choice ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
