dejosco Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 Has anyone heard from the CMDB program at Johns Hopkins University?

I submitted early November for Cell Bio and the email says they're hosting other virtual sessions as well. I'm sure you'll hear something, hang in there!
StemCells4Lyfe Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 Totally forgot I was on this thread so I'm a little late LOL. I got an interview offer from UT Southwestern before Thanksgiving break and an offer from MUSC yesterday. Has anyone heard from Thomas Jefferson University, Penn State, Baylor, or Albert Einstein?

I applied early November to make priority, so I was hoping to hear back about an interview before the apps closed.

I was also hoping that applying early would mean a quicker turnaround, but when I spoke to admissions they said that they said that applying earlier didn't make a difference for when we would hear back

Especially because I got interview offers from two schools before they even closed their applications.... Was that just Einstein's admissions that told you that? Or was it somewhere else?

That was just Einstein admissions specifically! I know other programs definitely come back quicker depending on when you submit your application.

Einstein mentioning that they have rolling admission and why it was helpful was a large part of why I started looking into it at other universities and submitted my applications when I did. So weird we got different advice.

It also seems to be the cases from some schools maybe from the information I got from other places. I am wondering if anyone have any data on this? This is my third time applying as an international students and probably last time. I don't think I will apply again even if I didn't get in. So this puts additional pressure on me. My profile isn't excellent but Its almost the best I can do now. Would love to talk to some anxious future Dr. in the same boat I don't have much data, but I got an interview from UTSW before their application closed, and they mentioned that they had over 1,000 applicants.... so I'm going to assume that despite this forum being quiet, there were a lot more applicants this year dejosco 1

But either way I haven’t heard of anyone hearing anything yet.

If you don't mind, could you share some details about the interview from UTSW? I also apply for UTSW Basic biomed PhD but no progress after submitting a secondary application.
virushunter Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 I got an interview for Caltech Biology yesterday! I was not expecting that...but I have been running on the philosophy "if you don't apply you can't get in." However it is odd, they do a 15min interview next week and then if they like you a more formal interview in January. microglia 1

I saw something like this on the results page for another school, I think CU Denver biomedical sciences. Maybe this is how some schools are dealing with the increase in applicants, by having a “screen” interview to narrow down the pool before the real thing
