If so, they might wait to get interview feedback on that group as well and send offers to some from the combined group and wait until the final interview date to decide on the remaining. They do not have an interview date on Jan21/22 but they do have one this upcoming week so it could be true that they're waiting for the second round of interview.

I think so. Jan 14/15 interviews are among the earliest across programs. Jan28/29 are more “average” in terms of timeframe. Therefore, programs that have 2 interview dates in January can afford to look at applicants of both groups before they extend any offers. Not sure programs that have their first interview on Jan 28/29 or in Feb will wait to complete multiple rounds of interviews before extending any offers. Unless you are an extremely highly regarded program or very small (~ 10 slots), you cannot gain mindshare amongst the top candidates unless you make offers to them by 1st week in Feb. helpert 1

Their admissions are "rolling" in the sense they admit after each interview session instead of waiting until the end. It was just kind of like "we really liked these apps so we're doing these first" I think. T suppressors and Sky_china 2

I submitted my app 29th Nov and have heard nothing -- my portal still says my app will be reviewed. In previous cycles, they've been super early in sending invites and rejections and this year is so off I'm confused! So I was curious about this too since I haven't heard anything. I emailed the admissions coordinator and got an email saying I'm on the direct admit list??? Which essentially means if a PI picks me by 1/31 I could join their lab directly. However if they don't pick me, then I am rejected and don't enter the regular pool? I didn't find out until I emailed so maybe worth an email to the coordinator!
Rbgs44 Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Has anyone heard back from NYU? I know they send invitations out late, I’m just curious to know if they’ve sent any. PCR_Nami 1

I see in your signature that you have a rejection from JHU. I also applied to CMDB and haven't heard anything either way - I'm assuming rejection but I'm curious to know when you heard and who you heard from.

Kind of a tangential question, but do different admissions committees review applications based on what area you indicated as an interest? I ask because a lot of these umbrella programs state that they do not require commitment to a department until the end of the first year, so I assumed there would only be one large committee as opposed to separate ones based on department.

I ask because a lot of these umbrella programs state that they do not require commitment to a department until the end of the first year, so I assumed there would only be one large committee as opposed to separate ones based on department. I think a lot of umbrella programs actually have smaller committees for different specific programs or research interests. This makes it easier for the program and also better for you to have your application reviewed by people familiar with your specific interests! However, most programs will say that these choices are not binding and you can absolutely choose to join a different program at the end of the first year (and they probably actually expect this will happen in many cases). My understanding is it’s all about making their application review process smoother, since umbrella programs will attract a large number of applicants with a wide range of research experiences and interests. When this is the case, it’s not uncommon for the different programs/research areas to send out interview invites on different timelines. Quiteña 1
Blood Type C8H10N4O2 Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Hey, has anyone who's already interviewed with UMass Med School heard back from them? If yes, how long after the interview was it? Thanks!

T_T I am terrified -- so if they don't pick us by then, we're rejected right? Imma just wait......................

Yes, Liz Ayala sent me a non-complete one ago about a week ago but I think it was only because I had an overlapping time and she wanted to tell me about it. She also said, "I hope to send schedules out either late Jan 26 or early Jan 27 in a.m." Hope that helps! "See" you there :) Bio123456789 1
