I have no way of knowing this for sure - but I applied there too, and from all the looking at past year’s results and the forums for comp bio, it seemed like UPenn generally does one release early in December. I don’t remember seeing people reporting invites at later dates. ?

I’m also curious to hear if anyone has any idea if Yale or Harvard (BIG for Harvard though) is done sending invites!

I think BIG is done (I got an interview + they told me they are currently making hotel reservations).

Anyone know about CMU and USC? I assume I got rejected from UCLA given I never received the invite. And I know Stanford at least doesn't come out til next week.

I haven't heard from CMU (CPCB) yet.

Hey just found about this thread. I am an international candidate mainly applying to computational genomics programs.

Here are all the places I have applied to :

1) Mount Sinai - Biomedical sciences- Data science and genomics

2) TRI-I - Computational BIology

3) Weill Cornell Medical  - PBSB

4) Purdue - PULSE

5) CMU-PITT - Computational biology

6) University of Florida -  Biomedical Engineering

I haven't received any mail (Interviews ,acceptance and rejection) from the programs. Has someone heard from any of these schools?

Also, does any of these programs offer staggered interview invites?

Thank you

Looks like Princeton sent out invites this morning. Is it not advisable to email POI about application status if you didn’t get interview invites?

Also Harvard Bio-Stats were making calls this morning for visits on Jan 24-25...

I am wondering the same thing. I communicated with POI back in November and I don't know if I should reach out again to check on application status. However, Invites seem to have gone out all at once in previous years so I am assuming no invite means rejection.

No news yet for Stanford and MIT? 

Judging by past years of the MIT CSB dates, I am guessing they won't be released until next week; probably around Monday or Tuesday..

However, I do hope we get it this week :D

Anyone heard from Princeton QCB on this thread yet? I'm wondering if I should rule it out completely because there are 2 posts on the Results Search.

I have heard back from Harvard BIG and JHU CS, and waiting for MIT EECS/CSBi and Stanford BMI. I think some people here have heard back from both Harvard BBS and Chemical Biology.

I heard back from them yesterday morning, interviews are on Feb 7 according to the email I received. The email seemed personalized, not a mass email.
