MindyMermaid Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Baylor College of Medicine interview invite just now (CPSB Track)! Their interviews/recruitment weekend will be Jan 13-15, fully virtual. stemcellenthusiast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undergradtograd Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Anyone know how the "priority deadline" for UNC BBSP works? I've seen a few posts where people have applied by priority deadline and have started to receive interview invites. I'm not sure if it depends what program you listed as first choice, but I have only seen a few programs like neuroscience listed. Have all priority invites for all the BBSP programs been sent out?

rainbowsprimkle Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 hello hello I applied to Jefferson IMP, UPenn Pharmacology, Temple BMS, Drexel MI, and Mt. Sinai BMS (all programs all under a Biomedical Science umbrella program). Haven't heard back about interviews yet and am starting to get really antsy... I've also been feeling discouraged throughout the process bc my undergrad GPA was very low. I feel that I've made up for it with my extensive research experience and taking classes as a post-bac but honestly who in the heck knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaMonkey Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Just recieved my first interview invite and its the University of Michigan Chemical Biology program (I did not apply to pibs).

MediaMonkey Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Hi Dreamer14! I don't know how UofM Chem Bio is doing it this year. They didn't specify if there would be other weekends but I think in the past they did it in waves. I feel like Jan 5th is super early and I would be surprised if they didn't have additional weekends and more invites later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, I'll need all the luck I can get! Undergrad: BS Biological Science from mid-tier state university (3.0 GPA) Graduate: Post-bac 1 yr taking graduate science courses (4.0) Research: 1 semester undergrad in pharmacology lab, 3 years as a full-time research technician post-grad in immunology/neurovirology lab Publications: 1 mid-author paper submitted, several mid-author papers in review Presentations: N/A Background: 25F White and Chinese, first-gen graduate student and first time applying to phd programs! While my undergrad GPA will definitely be my downfall, I have solid LORs (1 current PI, 1 previous PI, 1 current post-bac prof) and personal statements were carefully crafted to show honesty and passion.

QWERTYMNB97 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) Can anyone explain how the portal status changes if we are invited? Right now it just says "Submitted".

orbit Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 hi everyone! A question for anyone else who applied to Tufts GSBS: I submitted my app on Nov 29 for the Dec 1 deadline. While stalking the admissions website, though, it says "rolling admissions"-- does that just mean the same thing that it means at most programs? As in, they start reviewing applications after the Dec 1 priority deadline and admit on a rolling basis? or does it mean that they review apps as they're submitted and have been admitting for months? if it's the latter, I'm probably kinda screwed ?? I couldn't find any other details, and I didn't see any gradcafe posts of people getting in, so I have hope?? but I'm kinda freaking out about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orbit Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) oh also! places I applied/my profile: I applied to: Tufts GSBS (Immunology), Harvard Immunology, MIT Biology, NYU Vilcek/Immunology & Inflammation, Weill Cornell IMP, Johns Hopkins Immunology my profile: - 1 year full time in biopharma industry, plus 1.5 years working full time in a prominent Harvard immunology lab (1 publication from this, but I'm in the middle of the author list). couple months of research in undergrad that didn't result in publication bc of covid, but my undergrad PI mentioned that in his rec letter. - 3 strong LORs from (1) prof I did research with in undergrad, (2) my boss from pharma job, and (3) my PI at HMS immunology (this one is definitely the single biggest boost to my app, my PI is an immunology celebrity and I'm really lucky to be working here!!) - 3.70 undergrad gpa I applied to really competitive programs, so I'm pretty nervous that I won't get in anywhere despite what I feel is a decent application ? so if that happens I guess I'll just try again next year!

orbit Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 the Sharpe Lab, so my PI is the chair of immunology. but I still don't really expect to get into Harvard immunology just because it's SO selective... I probably should have applied to BBS too lol QWERTYMNB97 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I was able to find was that they do interviews Jan through March, and previous interview invites went out the week of Dec 20 last cycle(s), so I think they start reviewing on Dec 1 but you can submit past then.

My portals for the two schools I received invites from both still say "Under Review" so I think it's different at each place. Last year, when I applied to Iowa State Biochemistry, it said "Decision Made" or something similar Edited December 14, 2021 by MindyMermaid QWERTYMNB97 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
