Congratulation! Which track did you apply to?

Systems Biology ?

[GenBio]

Looks like someone got an invite from Harvard SSQB on the results page.

Just got a Harvard SSQB interview invite via email!

That's awesome. When/how did they say they were going to host the interview weekend?

Uh... did you actually get an invite or are you lying? I asked yesterday and they said that they were going virtual but keeping the interview dates the same.

Did anyone email Princeton QCB? I know someone said they got an interview request last week but it was only one person so makes me wonder if it was just a personalized interview request from a POI.

Interesting. @mudjemkins did your interview request say anything about Omicron or why they changed the interview dates?

someone else just also posted that they got ssqbio.

my inbox is empty

Princeton doesn't do interview requests from POIs. It's all handled by the coordinator. Grad Cafe has quite a few QCB interviews from last week.

Nope, no reason given

There's only one in the results page and one person said the got an interview in this forum (which could be the same person), that's why I'm not so sure that they sent out all invites.

hey congrats!! do you think you could post a screenshot of the email? really curious about what they said and i just want to know for sure if I should move on 

[siguy]

based on the past interview invitations record, harvard ssqb doesnt seemto send out invitations in a batch ?

[hashira]

Hey, I am also applying this cycle. 

So far, I have gotten interviews from UCSF, Columbia, UPenn, and Harvard SSQBio. Has anyone heard back from the Tri-Institutional Program? 

[lanaaaaaaaaa]

do schools send interviews during the winter break?

[pls_take_me]

Too many trolls this year

Hi guys. Just got interview from GGD@Cornell, the first email out of my 10 applications. The list of programs I am now waiting:

CBM@tri-institutional, CB@UCB, Bioinformatics@BU, BIG@Harvard, CSB@MIT, CB@CMU-Pitts, GCB@Upenn, Bioinformatics@UCLA, BISB@UCSD

I know Bioinformatics@UCLA has already sent several invitations. Apart from that, I heard nothing about other programs. Please let me know if you know anything else.

Hope the information helpful to you and wish you more interviews before the the Christmas.

I haven't heard back from these programs either. UCLA has sent out invites, but I didn't get anything. I don't know if this means I am eliminated, but keeping the hope.

Hi all, figured I'd share my schools since I'm also curious if harvard ssqbio already sent interviews or not

Columbia Systems Bio - Interview 

Princeton QCB - Interview

UCLA Bioinformatics - Interview

Haven't heard from: Harvard ssqbio, MIT CSB, Stanford Biosciences, UC Berkeley Comp Bio, and Mount Sinai Icahn Biomedical
