Meggggr Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Rejected from 3/4 programs I applied to an interviewed at one. Still super grateful for the one I interviewed with. If I were to not get in, what’s the move? Should I get a masters or post-bacc experience? I just got my BS in applied math / minor in CS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simaiinox Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Hey all! I've really enjoyed the community in this forum. It looks like I'm rejected from 5/6 of the programs I applied to, which is fine, I'm a software engineer I wasn't expecting too much anyways. However, I'm hoping to continue learning and working on comp bio things in my free time. I made a Discord for anyone who'd like to join; I'm not super familiar with the app, but so far I've created some channels for talking about career, education, discussing technology and even looking for / proposing side project ideas. I hope to make it a collaborative environment where people can bounce ideas off each other and help each other improve. Please feel free to join and/or invite whoever you feel may be interested, and as always best of luck to everyone. https://discord.gg/Zqnpugw9Wb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InferenceII Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Just had an interview with UCLA medical informatics. Feeling terrible right now. I was told there were only two professors interested in my application so I had to perform well. (Seems like other people might have multiple interviews, meeting 4 - 5 professors in total). But I guess I did not. It's actually my second time interviewing with this program. Have no idea how the bar become so high this year.

Gir2214 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Hi all! Did anyone interview with UCSD today? If so, how long before the interview did you get the zoom link/interview details? Mine's next Friday but still haven't heard back regarding these details. I'm also curious about how long the interview is (for instance, if it's a day long, I'll need to take time off work) if anyone happens to know!

sea_cactus Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 It'd be great if everyone could briefly describe how their interviews went at each of the schools. Just general vibes, if you liked them, etc. fullofhopes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eucalyptus_Leaf Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 For anyone asking about GATech, I had an interview for Bioinformatics this past Thursday and Friday. I applied through the school of Biological Sciences, but from what they said, it sounded like other schools might be doing different interview times. I was sorta confused.

I didn't receive the final interview schedule (who I'd be meeting with and when) until 7pm on Thursday night, but they sent out a rough schedule on Tuesday. It pretty much ran from 9am - 5pm so I'd expect to take the whole day off work. From 9- 11am there were research presentations / info sessions , then from 11-3 you had three, thirty minute one-on-one interviews with faculty. From 3-4 was a closing keynote speaker, and then the space was open to mingle with students and faculty afterward. They used gather.town, but faculty interviews were on individual zooms. Good luck next week! Gir2214 and yehet219 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck next week! Thanks for sharing! Did you meet any students applying to the BMI track in the interview? I applied in the BMI track. I received another email from POI this week letting me know they hadn't sent out the interview invitation and our interview would be different from the two dates (Jan 29 and Feb 5) as he mentioned in the phone back in December... I think it's kinda weird... and I was wondering if I was waitlisted or it was because I'm an international... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't really ask anyone which track they applied to, so I don't know if there were BMI students. But I'm sure its a good sign that your POI is contacting you specifically about the interview dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed like someone had posted on the results page they had gotten an interview to MIT Bio. Just wasn't sure if anyone else had heard anything. Probably really late and not useful, but yeah I got an interview to CSB around mid Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
