chocolate_waffle 2 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) Has anyone who received an interview invite for UCSD BISB & accepted it heard back about scheduling? I had a conflict on the requested date so I asked to schedule a different day, but it's been 10 days and I haven't heard back from them.. Also, has anyone heard from UC Berkeley Comp Bio (CCB) yet?

Same here, I also have a conflict but have not heard back. I followed up yesterday and the person was still out of the office. I haven't heard back from Berkeley yet either. chocolate_waffle 1 Link to post Share on other sites
fullofhopes 8 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Hi guys, After the interviews, do the schools give you admissions solely based on your interview performance/scores or do they still consider your gpa/research experience and stuff even after the interviews?

I have seen some UCB Comp Bio posts on the results section, tho. But not sure if they're done sending out invites.

Simaiinox 8 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Based on UCSF's email to all interviewing applicants, there are 60 people invited to interviews. Does anyone know if that's high compared to other schools, or is this typical? Link to post Share on other sites

I only know that WUSTL interviews 24 people this year (12 this month, 12 next month), at least for now. 60 is a pretty large number I think. Link to post Share on other sites

But their admission data is a combination of BMI and Biophysics, so that's worth noting. Link to post Share on other sites

But I would add that if you go to this link you can also see the 2020 stats: https://graduate.ucsf.edu/program-statistics If you change the program selection to BMI from the dropdown menu, it looks like they admitted 77 applications to BMI last year alone, so maybe 60 interviewees isn't that bad... kaffeinatedkat and Simaiinox 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Nice find -- although as others have noted, the admissions numbers for BMI and Biophysics are combined (if you select Biophysics from the dropdown, the admissions numbers don't change). It looks like both programs are roughly the same size; if it's a 50-50 split, then that's ~35 offers per program, with ~10 people enrolling in each. If the numbers are similar this year, one might guess that ~60% of BMI interviewees will get an offer. That seems reasonable based on what I've (vaguely) heard about other schools.
