Anyone else spiraling into checking their email, the results page and forums every 10minutes? ?

That's a terrible way to apply to graduate school.

I applied to UCSF (BMS)! They haven't sent anything out yet but I think they will by this week. I don't know this definitely because someone told me, I am just basing it off of previous years' timelines  good luck!

Thank you!!! Hopefully we both will hear good news soon from UCSF!

Just received a phone call from UMich PIBS that I should be receiving an email shortly inviting me for the interview. My first interview invite......

I applied to Molecular & Integrative Physiology within PIBS. Maybe Neuro is behind them on reviewing applications. Hence, I wouldn't lose hope.

Maybe... I also applied Molec and Integrative Phys as my second choice. Fingers & toes crossed.

PIBS will send your app to MIP only if Neuro rejects. I suspect Neuro has not done that, so MIP doesn't enter the picture.

Hey, just chiming in!

Has anyone heard back from Harvard virology or Yale microbiology? Seems like they released interview invites around this time last year, but I haven't seen any of these programs in the "results" page yet. Anxious!!!

Expand  

I applied to Harvard Virology and Yale Micro too!! I haven't heard back yet...

I wonder why Harvard's Virology and Yale's Micro programs are taking longer than usual to review applicants this year. I heard from a prof at Harvard that it was going to be a 'very competitive this year'. At the time, I thought I'd still be competitive but I don't know now if they're taking THIS long...

 I only applied to four schools (1. Harvard Virology DMS, 2. Yale Microbiology track BBS, 3. Stanford Genetics, and 4. UC Berkeley Infectious Diseases and Immunity) because I was looking for really specific programs... Now I'm starting to regret not applying to more. It's going to be pretty depressing if I don't receive any interviews.

Maybe more people applied? who knows... 

admissions to me is black magic and no one has any idea as to what they're looking for and who they like

At what point do you assume that you won't receive an interview? I applied to Yale's MCGD track BBS and I saw some people posting they received interviews earlier this week and last. 

 

I was hoping to hear from a couple this week, maybe tomorrow will be a big invite day. Fingers crossed and good luck!

Has anyone heard back from Johns Hopkins MMI program in the public health yet? I was getting so nervous since I saw people got interviews around Dec. 12th from the past years while scrolling down the results page.

From what I'm able to gather, JHU PhD programs at the school of medicine and at the school of public health are still working on reviewing applications.

For individuals who have received interviews for Harvard's Virology program, can you describe your stats/experiences? I would like to know what I should improve on if I don't receive an invite lol
