MedDaisuki Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Has anyone interviewed at Columbia Umbrella program? Can you share what your experience was and any advice? It feels redundant that we have to interview with 4-6 faculties and describe our research 4-6 times lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jill1997 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 On 2/12/2021 at 1:13 PM, Research Enthusiast said: Anyone here interviewed at Baylor College of Medicine for DDMT (Development, Disease Models, and Therapeutics) track? If yes, would you mind sharing your experience? Also, any idea about their post-interview acceptance rate? I interviewed with them last week. The faculty members (3 in my case) are very nice and I had a chance to speak with the program director (I'm not sure whether all interviewees will talk with him). they also have some other activities like lunch time with current students and with professors. The interview is mainly about your science and they will also introduce their own research work. You can ask them anything you'd like to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwllq Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 On 2/12/2021 at 2:00 PM, dymatthew said: Yeah, I interviewed with them Jan. 21-22. They said that their admissions committee would not be making any decisions until after the Feb. 4-5 interviews, and that admissions decisions could be released between late February and early March. I got a call from one of the faculty who interviewed me telling me I had been accepted yesterday, Feb. 11, and then the official letter came via email immediately after. Thank you!

ProspectiveGrad21 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 For anyone who has interviewed with NYU Vilcek, when did you get your interview itinerary? My interviews are in 2 weeks and I haven't gotten any itinerary from them, but of course will reach out to them next week if I haven't heard from them already. Just curious for how close to the interviews NYU sends this info since I would like to skim through publications of the faculty I'll interview with.

st21 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Anyone hear back from USC PiBBS or Biology of Aging? I have other interviews/offers at this point (luckily) but it's the only school (out of more than a dozen...) that I've had complete and utter radiosilence from at this moment in time. Just weird -- seems semi-negligent to not give any updates 3 months after handing them $200 (or whatever) for free ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you share what your experience was and any advice? It feels redundant that we have to interview with 4-6 faculties and describe our research 4-6 times lol I interviewed at Columbia Coordinated Biomed program G&D track, so my experience may be not directly relevant. The first day was student only events, where ppl could just get to know each other and ask some tips from current students since they know basically all the interviewers. Next day is the program overview and the actual interviews. Basically the same set up like other programs but they set every applicant up with 5 faculty members in one day; so everyone was talking to someone during the time slots; be prepared for kinda grilling questions as I have heard from the others. I personally didn't get that many technical questions but they were also very interested in knowing what was my role in the research experience. And if you are paired up with professors who are not in ur area, prepare to ask them more questions about their research/the particular program to fill the time since the conversation probably won't go into ur experience into the degree you want. One funny thing about this interview was that the faculty interviewers held a meeting immediately after all the interviews and it went over time, so we the interviewees just hang out on Zoom waiting for the faculty social events and speculating what was going on in that meeting. Anyway best of luck! MedDaisuki 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like everyone on here is like “I only have ten years of research experience, 26 publications, and a 4.0 at Harvard, chance me but I’m not gonna get in :(“ and it’s really disheartening to see there’s not a bigger community of regular ol people this year. Yeah, that's what I've been seeing a lot here, sometimes it just makes me feel little anxious. Hope you got selected in a good school, and wish you luck for pursuing your studies.
