Kinda thought I was rejected since they sent out a bunch last week so that's pretty cool. I only haven't heard back from Purdue and Harvard now, but it sounds like Harvard is a silent rejection at this point (I applied MCO so I'm not sure if that's any different but probably not). I'm excited to no longer have to constantly refresh my email at this point haha. I applied to WashU Microbiology and I even had a meeting with a professor there before the deadline but I havent heard back for invitations. Do you know if all of them were already sent?

So far I've gotten interview invitations from Duke MGM, UNC BBSP, UVA BIMS, and Tufts MM. Still waiting for Vandy IGP...I know they do review in batches but I'm still so nervous since some people have heard from them already! Checking on here all the time now to maybe not reduce my panic but at least know we're in it together! @tano7567 Duke MGM and UNC BBSP already sent invitations? I applied to both but nothing in my inbox! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potato_soup Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Is it true that if we don’t get any interviews before 24th then basically we are rejected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, its looking like Stanford isn't sending invites until the week of the 3rd of January. Also, I'd be a little patient. Some of these institutions may send out another round of invites, depending on the response they get from those who have received them in earlier waves. I'd say you'd know for sure by mid January.

hp0809 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Just got an interview invite from UCI CMB program! Definitely one of my top choices! ? I was starting to think it'll be silent rejections for the programs I didn't hear from. This is just a reminder that it's still early in the process. So don't lose hope yet! For those of you who applied there, UCI gave 6 different dates (between Jan 19 and 26) with 2 hour time blocks for interviews. They have a 'recruitment weekend' following Friday!

m114rh.02 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Just wanted to update that I just received an email interview invite from Tufts GSBS (track: cell, developmental, and molecular biology). I'm starting to get a little stressed about overlapping interview dates. So far I have been able to select ones that don't conflict, but Tufts only offered 2 dates which both conflict with other interviews. Hoping I can move one to make room for Tufts. Has anyone had experience/advice with conflicting interview dates? Applied (11): UNC Chapel Hill BBSP, University of Virginia BIMS, Columbia CMBS, UChicago Molecular Biosciences, Boston University PiBS, UPenn CAMB, Mt. Sinai Biomedical Sciences, Northwestern DGP, Tufts GSBS, NYU Vilcek, Jefferson GGCB Interview (5): UNC BBSP (12/4), UVA BIMS (12/14), UPenn CAMB (12/16), Columbia CMBS (12/17), Tufts GSBS (12/21) Rejected: Accepted: Edited December 22, 2021 by m114rh.02 hp0809 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone posted in the results page that they received an interview invite through email Does anyone know if Rockefeller, NYU and UCLA send their emails all at once or in batches? I got the interview from Vilcek this morining, the interview date is on 28th Feb and 1st Mar. I am an international student. My target track is immunology. Maybe different tracks release the interview invitations at different times. Any news from Rockefeller? I saw some posts in the result page...It seems that Yale immunology program also released all the interview invitations already...(really sad, it seems very competitive this year....)

I think interview invites have slowly been coming out since, but if you're concerned then it might be worthwhile to just ask admissions if they are still reviewing applications or not. Good luck!

I applied to 16 schools and just heard back from 1 (scheduled my interview already) but I am freaking out for the rest. Not wanting to get 16 interviews but at least 4 might think being an international student is a little bit of a problem. I hope we all hear good news soon!!

Applied for mostly integrative biology/evolutionary biology/genetics programs and haven't heard from any of them yet.... I saw a Rejection in the results submission page of grad cafe for the Cornell GGD program but I haven't got anything in my inbox. Does anyone receive an invitation or rejection? Early this month they sent a email saying that they'll send out interviews invitation before winter holiday, pretty confused now.... Here's the list of programs I'm applying to : Harvard - OEB Columbia - Biology Science(Evolutionary and Population Genetics subfield) UPenn - Biology Cornell - GGD Duke - Biology UMich - EEB UCBerkeley - Integrative Biology UChicago - Human Genetics UCDavis - Integrative Genetics and Genomics WashU - Ecology, Evolution & Population Biology UCIrvine - CMB UIowa - Integrative Biology Any overlaps with you guys?
