I tried to open an application for PIBS but on the first page itself it made it clear that it was for US citizens only. I didn't dig too deep either since I was interested in MCDB anyway and the PI I reached out to also said to apply to that program. Let's see, if I don't hear from them for another two weeks that will pretty much confirm it. But fingers crossed for both! Quite keen on both these programs. Good luck!

I will be actually in US until Feb 3. Do you think should I reschedule my flight and attend the interview? Cheers I would stay. Most school also have social activities during the interview weekend so you can get to know them, the faculty and current students, and the city/town where the school is in. The interview is for you to find out if this specific school is a good fit as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard back from graduate program coordinator, she mentioned that my application had been reviewed favorably and they will get in touch to schedule an interview in the next two weeks!!! I reckon I heard back since I asked about the status of my application, but since she mentioned they will be coordinating interviews sometime during the next two weeks, I suspect other internationals might hear back during that time. Hope this helps someone! verdandi, Sammetabolite, EvoDevoTW and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpalTunnel625 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I’m an international student with a degree from a private US institution. I’m applying to: -UW Seattle (MCB, M3D, Pharmacology, and Immunology -UT Houston/MD Anderson GSBS -Yale BBS, MMPP track Update: Signed up for interview/recruitment weekends with UW M3D and Pharmacology. Got a rejection from MCB (VERY competitive and not my best fit, so neither surprised nor disappointed:)). I've gotten no news since the holidays. UW M3D and Yale BBS are my top choices. So excited for the interview invite, and anxious waiting for ANY news on the other. Would be interested in knowing if Yale has invited all their candidates for the interview weekend. They accept applications up until the 2nd so crossing my fingers there might still be hope........ Good luck everyone! Stay positive:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

International applicant here that also hasn't heard back from anywhere. I've applied to NYU Sackler Biomedical Sciences, Johns Hopkins CMM, Penn State Biomedical Sciences, and Roswell Park Cancer Sciences. Hopefully we find out more by the end of this week! I'll let you all know any news I hear. Hopefully no news is good news indeed! Still no news from anywhere I've applied to ? Has anyone here heard back from anywhere lately? Hopefully we'll hear from admissions teams soon ? Edited January 8, 2020 by OncologyResearch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Personally speaking, an onsite interview will let you have a better chance of getting offers... And it's also a better way to know the school, program and PIs in person.

Walfred Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 For emory and Upenn, although I am applying for comp biol, I think they have already interviewed most bio programs. Hope they'll have make-up interviews, but very very unlikely...good luck for your UChicago and Scripps though.... Also, they are all very competitive programs...although I believe you are definitely competitive too and at least have some self-confidence....it is highly not recommended for internationals just applying for those very competitive programs because each of them only accepts very few internationals (mostly 1-2)....you probably need some safe schools like CU Denver, UCSC, UThealth-MDAnderson those very good but less well-known programs. Emory might be a good safe if you are good enough, but one safe will not actually make you really safe since you never know where those top internationals are applying for and if programs already have applicants with strong connections they have to say yes.

M246 Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hi, I am an international student and I have an interview at Scripps CA. I have not heard back from Emory or UChicago. I emailed UPenn and was told that all interview invites have been sent out. I also emailed WUSTL a few weeks ago and was told my application was under review. Emory never replied to my email... Hope this helps, Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
