US citizen. I think the main thing with UW was that I had a connection through a postdoc I met at a Hackathon a few years ago, she got me in touch with a bunch of PIs there. I have a very smart friend with similar background and research experience who applied to UW and didn't get an interview, I don't really understand why I would and she wouldn't since she's been in a *very* good lab for the last three years (but she did get an interview at Hopkins already) That's pretty crazy. Sounds like they rejected 5000 (not real, exaggeration..) people this year. Did you do mostly computational or wetlab research? I'm CS+Bio double major but never done any serious wetlab. Jay Shendure and Cole Trapnell are probably my biggest reasons for applying to UW. Edited December 20, 2019 by kataegis
Ninghuan Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 Am I the only one who has heard nothing from UW gs? -- neither rejection nor interview ?

I'm full-time computational now but I did a year in a biochem lab and I have a mix of computational and experimental experience from undergrad. A former postdoc from Cole Trapnell's lab is the one who got me in touch with him Congrats on the EMBL interview btw, I would love to work there but US isn't a member state so I didn't even bother applying. kataegis 1

That’s crazy...
rcon Posted December 20, 2019 Author Posted December 20, 2019 Not sure if I’ve seen anyone else saying they applied here - but got an interview invite to UMass Med GSBS today!

Hard to tell - addressed to me, but the content was pretty generic/not specific to my application. But I saw someone else post on the results page a little while ago, and it said in the email that one of their interview date slots is already filled, so I’d guess that they’re releasing decisions in batches. The open dates left are Jan 23-24!
