Just soft rejections You are not alone. 9 of my 10 applications remain silent and I do know somebody else with an empty inbox for now. It's not time to give up now, for no clear rejections have been received. (I know people applying for Molecular and Cell Biology who has already received multiple Rs.) All we can do now is to wait anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just soft rejections I don't think you should give up yet. I don't exactly know how many and what programs you applied to. But a lot of programs have not started inviting candidates for interviews or may keep sending out invites after Christmas. Just be patient and wait for a few more weeks. chr_angel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chr_angel Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I think it is not time to feel that way. A lot of Universities have multiple batches for invitations. As someone said in the thread, by mid-January, we should have a clearer picture of what's happening if we haven't been rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justfiguringitout Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) Out of the 12 programs I applied to, 8 have already sent out invites and I didn't get anything so only 4 chances left, so I am beginning to doubt that this cycle is going to work out.

Don't give up yet! There are multiple rounds of interview mails. If you haven't received a rejection letter then there's still chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanaaaaaaaaa Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 so basically the first two weeks after the winter break is crucial for 2nd batch of interviews and if we don't get it we go cucu for coco pahst? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi. Would you mind explaining the common winter break schedule in US? I am international and obviously we do not take breaks like the states. Good luck for the second batch!

Some schools send most of their interviews before the break, some send it right afterwards (within 1 or 2 weeks). So I think as far as interviews goes, most schools will send them by the midst of January. I made all this up from intuition. don't listen to me.

tokyoboy101 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Has anybody heard from NYU Vilcek who also applied to their Systems and Computational Biomedicine program? I see some scattered interview invites on grad cafe throughout the last couple weeks but I haven't heard anything myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compgen99 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 As of 1/5: Applications out: MIT EECS, Stanford BMI, UCSF BMI, Penn GCB, Harvard SSQB, Tri-I CBM, UCLA Genetics and Genomics Track, MSSM Biomed Sci, and Emory PBEE Interview Invites Received: UCLA (12/10), UCSF (12/12), Stanford (12/16), Penn (12/21), Emory (12/22), and MSSM (1/4) From what I've gathered, it seems like I'm probably out on Harvard and Tri-I. MIT (app deadline was 12/15 and it's a huge program, so they may not interview everyone they want to admit. EECS dept calendar has "Grad Admissions Round Up" scheduled for 1/18-1/24).
