I don't think anyone has but based on previous years i think they send out the rejections in January (im assuming after people have responded to interview invites)

yakyu Posted December 24, 2019 Posted December 24, 2019 @mcatamur that's pretty cool! I haven't heard from UC Berkeley CCB - I'm always curious about how and when institutions deliver invites / rejections.

I know they sent out invites 12/6 and 12/19. When I was there over the summer for my research internship, I met several PIs and personally talked to the Bioinformatics dept director about my interest in the program. Should I assume no news = rejection at this point? as well as with other programs I haven't heard from?

Just saw that someone received invite via phone today for UC Berkeley CCB so looks like they're still sending out invites. Good luck! Edited December 24, 2019 by mcatamur yakyu 1
myoate Posted December 24, 2019 Posted December 24, 2019 Anyone heard back from Harvard Sysbio yet (aka ssQBio)??
rtpstg673 Posted December 24, 2019 Posted December 24, 2019 Has anyone heard back from UW Biomedical Informatics (BIME)?

I’ve worked in a couple labs in SysBio, and they definitely have a wait-until-after-christmas vibe. (though looking at previous results, it looks like they released earlier in previous years? so maybe my impressions are off) edit: looks like someone just posted an interview invitation to the results page!

Not sure if it’s possible to get multiple interview invites to Harvard HILS programs, so I was wondering if getting an interview invite to BBS means rejection from SSQB
djii Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 Has anyone received an outright rejection from UC Berkeley's Computational Biology program yet? I saw that some people have invites but I didn't see any rejections either. Also my responses so far for curious people: (approximate dates) JHU CMDB invited 12/16 UCSF BMI invited 12/22 Stanford Biosciences (umbrella) invited 12/21 UVa BIMS invited 12/21 Northwestern DGP invited 12/17 UW Genome Sciences Rejected (I hear it's been a rough year for plenty of people)

forumcrawler27 Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 Hi, I have a couple general questions: (1) Do schools typically send out rejection emails or just ghost you? (2) If a school has already sent invites to people (e.g. people on this forum), does that mean they've sent out all their invites (or most)? Thanks!

I thought it was ghosting but it looks like some schools are sending rejections this year.
