phdapp2020 Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 is Columbia sys bio going to be sending out more interviews or are they done?

balisticFeanor Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 Does anyone know if WashU is done sending out invites for interviews? I was wondering because I saw some divisions like Biology & Biomedical Sciences have gone out but not others? I was mainly wondering about Molecular Genetics and Genomics

Do you know if Yale will be sending out more invites for interviews? If you don't mind sharing, what are some highlights from your application profile?
owwwtp Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 For those who are concerned with Upenn, I just decided to email to ask if I got an interview. I will update once I hear back. chilampoon, balisticFeanor and D2R 3

I've gotten other interviews tho so i cant be too disappointed

computationaldd Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Hi all! Getting nervous as UCSF and UCSD interview invites are starting to come out, and my PI of 3 years submitted his recommendation letter quite late (apparently he wanted to comment that I performed well in a very difficult class I took with him this quarter, but still..?) Thus far, I have applied to: UCSF CCB (Chemistry & Chemical Biology) UCSD BMS (Biomedical Sciences) UCB Chemistry MIT CSB (Computational & Systems Biology) MIT BE (Bioengineering) Scripps Research Institute UW MCMP (Medicinal Chemistry & Molecular Pharmacology) Purdue IBMS (Interdisciplinary Biomedical Sciences) Penn State BME (Biomedical Engineering) Their deadline was extended to the 31st so not yet lol I am crossing my fingers for #1-7 but pretty confident I will receive good news from Purdue and Penn State, as I've already been flown out by them and spoken to the admissions staff members and a few potential FOIs. If anyone has any suggestions to additional programs I should be checking out, specifically for computational applications to drug design, please let me know! Brief summary of stats if anyone cares: GPA 3.8/4.0 @ Top 10 public school White F (not sure if I'm considered a "minority" but I've participated in several programs that serve underrepresented populations in graduate schools?) 2.5 yrs independent project (supervised by my PI, kinda) in computational chemistry with a 1st author paper (in prep), 3 mos summer research program in a neurosci lab, 3 mos (ongoing) primarily programming position in an environmental science group Long list of funding sources, related awards, etc. Lots of poster presentations at local conferences, one poster presentation (supported by a travel award) at ABRCMS Board member of ASBMB chapter

Good luck to you, (im hoping in January they might send out a few more invites). I think im just gonna be cautiously optimistic for now about UPenn
kataegis Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) Hello guys, late to the game but decided to spend some time here and hopefully be more informed/inform others Everyone here seems to be very qualified so I hope we all get into the programs we want! My list of schools - University of Washington GS [reject on Dec 18, ops] EMBL-EBI [really liked them, invited to in-person interview] Havard BIG Stanford BMI TRI-I Comp Bio UCSD Comp Bio JHU CS MIT CSB Sanger Comp Bio I think TRI-I sends out interviews today or tomorrow based on the dates in previous years. Waiting for this!! Edited December 19, 2019 by kataegis just_fine 1
