Congrats!! Welp looks like I got rejected from Princeton then as I didn't get any invitation

Yeah, same... Princeton is definitely my top choice, they send interviews quite earlier. I don't know if they will keep sending interviews but I hope so.

Sorry. Is Yale BBS CBB track already sending rejections? ?

I think I was filtered out! My undergrad is a state school so I probably didn't meet whatever academic pedigree they're looking for. 

 

I did just receive invitations to interview from WUSTL and UW-M!

Hope you succeed in your interviews!

Hi everyone! I just heard about the gradcafe so it's my first time on here. 

I'm hoping to study plant biology so I'm applying predominantly to umbrella Bio programs. 

My program list is: 

Duke Bio, U.C.Berkeley Plant Bio, U.Pen Bio, U.W. Bio, U.C.SD Bio, U.Mich MCDB, MIT Bio &  U.AZ Mol&Cell Bio

I have only heard back from U Az w/ an interview offer so far!!! Has anyone heard back from any of these other programs?? 

[mat10d]

I just heard back from Columbia (systems/comp bio) for interviews

Congrats!! Is that Columbia's Integrated program? I had it on my list to apply but it seemed to bio-heavy for my research interests.

I just heard back from Northwestern IBiS, got a call from my PI of interest which I was not expecting! Not really a computational biology program but that's what I would be doing in this lab. Seems they currently have plans for in person interviews but plans are likely to change.

I honestly get so confused by Columbia's program structure--think it's integrated program with selected program being comp / systems bio but don't quote me on that

Hello everybody!!

I just found the gradcafe because I was anxious looking for interview dates from previous years. I'm a student from Mexico! Sincerely I'm kinda scared because the international rate of acceptance is kinda low in almost all programs I applied. However here they are:

 

 UPenn: GCB 

Columbia: IPCMBS

UCSD: BSB

UCSC: BMEB [Interview mail received on 12/15]

UCLA: Bioinformatics

UCSF: Biomedical Informatics [Rejected on 12/15]

UChicago: GGSB

 

I'm tired of refreshing my mail.

Wish you all good luck !!!!

Did your application portal for WUSTL revert back to the way it looked before (with the "Ready to Review" status) after submitting the faculty list and profile picture? I just checked it again and it reverted and I'm worried ?

Congrats! Are you applying to the bioinformatics or medical informatics at UCLA? Do you know if they have the same committee?

My WUSTL application portal just says submitted lol. I think it's okay!! But if you're worried at all I would definitely reach out to them.
