Anyone heard from Columbia CMBS (specifically the Integrated Program)? I'm pretty sure they're done with interviews and I expected to hear by now.

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, UVA BIMS, UPenn CAMB, Columbia CMBS, Tufts GSBS, Jefferson GGCB

Rejected: UChicago, BU PiBS, Mt. Sinai, Northwestern, NYU

Accepted: UVA BIMS, UPenn CAMB

I heard back from them two days ago. BMBSB track, so I am unsure if each track does admissions separately.

I just received an email that I was accepted into the Cancer Biology (DBBS) program at Washington University in St. Louis!!! I am so happy to have options now! Both of the programs that I've been admitted into (UW- Madison's MDTP program is the other one) are really great programs with their own strengths. I didn't get accepted into my top choices but this will definitely do. I wish everyone else the best of luck!

[aaadddseeeee]

Did anyone hear back from UChicago Microbiology program?

Seconding this if anyone hears from any of the Stanford Biosciences programs! I'm sure they will be somewhat coordinated...

I received my offer from them just now and is it just me, or is it incredibly sus that they are giving us only SIX DAYS to accept or reject? I feel like this is super predatory and shady, I know that the April 15th resolution isn't universal among every US university but 6 days... really??

Some of the schools I have interviewed with do the same thing because they admit on a rolling basis. Normally they are understanding if you have another interview coming up or if you want to requests to see the campus. Worst case scenario, you could request an extension and they say no. I like to think of it as a good problem to have lol

Hello guys. Have anyone heard from CUNY Biology PhD (Molecular, Cellular and Developmental subprogram)? Also, I still haven't heard anything from Scripps Chemical and Biological sciences PhD. Also, nothing from USF and UF...is there something to expect yet?

I had my interview on January 25 and haven't heard anything since then. I am an international student..maybe that is why.

Hi, I heard nothing from Scripps but I assume a silent rejection at this point

Wow! Essentially, you have 6 days to choose between CSU and Tulane! And you still don't know if you'll get an offer from any university in the UT system... Please update us on what you decide.

Oh okay i think i missed that part, but "by" usually means "on" so I'd say it's either Feb 28 or March 1 

Got my sinai offer this afternoon! They are one week earlier than the date I expected LOL

I had applied to the PTD MTA. I got waitlisted by Cornell last week too... I'm feeling so disheartened at this point. ?

Literally same. I feel like the odds of them pulling off of it is so small, because they overaccept their desired class size. Really heartbroken right now
