Hey guys, long waiting has almost driven me crazy. Today I emailed the faculty to ask about my interview, and the professor said I was on the waitlist for there were many great applicants this year. I wonder the chance for me to be accepted under this situation. It worries me so much…

Expand  

I'm sorry to hear that. At least its not a 'no.' Did you email the program email or the faculty you interviewed with? I wish you all the best.

Actually I didn’t receive any official emails. I just emailed the professor who I had contacted before and also was one of the admission committee. She told me that I was on the waitlist.

Has anyone who interviewed with UVA BIMS last week heard back from them? I saw one acceptance on the results section. If someone has heard back from them, can you please mention which track did you interview with?

Hello, I’m interviewing with this this week and was wondering if you could share how your experience was. Thanks

[IamPokemon]

Hello everyone,

Just wondering if there has been anyone who interviewed with WashU in St. Louis (DBBS) and have yet to be accepted?

Hi! I would say it was pretty casual. The current graduate students seemed very nice and honest about their experience. The faculties I interviewed with wanted to know a little bit about my research and they liked talking about theirs. I'd suggest to look a lil bit on their website and have a couple questions about their research, and a couple about the program. Overall, I found them very welcoming and easy-going; also the BIMS program's diversity is what I was impressed with. Good luck with your interview!

Anyone from the first round of Vandy IGP interviews get an update yet? Said we’d know by the end of the month and I haven’t gotten an email or call.

Alright, so I STILL haven't heard a thing from UPenn BGS. Admissions is ghosting my emails, invites/accepts/rejects have all gone out. Should we just conclude that I'm rejected? I applied to pharmacology btw.

I'm in the same boat as you. Assuming it's a silent rejection.

I got an official rejection from them so i think if you haven’t heard back that’s a good thing. Maybe waitlisted 

[biomedtrack112]

I also think at this point I probably have been silently rejected from everywhere. Good luck to everyone who has interviews, maybe I’ll try again next year!

Hi! Unfortunately, I haven't heard back from them yet. I don't know if others who interviewed with MIC cluster have heard back yet. 

[Yijuncute]

Hi, has anybody here interviewed with JHU CMDB faculty? I haven’t received any update after the interview, which is two weeks ago. Super worried about it for I knew there were very limited slots for international students.

Has anyone interviewed with Columbia CMBS yet that could share how it went? Their statistics show that only about 45 or 50% of interviewees get accepted, so I'm wondering if it's more cutthroat or intense than other interviews, or if it's nothing different really.

Would appreciate any advice! Thanks!

I had mine, it was pretty similar to any other interview even though its more selective

[IamPokemon]

Just got an official rejection letter from Stanford Biosciences (Cancer Biology - Home). FINALLY! Wasn't expecting much at this point anyway. Glad to have some closure. There are still schools I have yet to hear back from but I'm just going to focus on the interviews I do have. 

[SpikeytheCactus]

Is anyone else deferred by Harvard (BBS) after their 1st interviews? Wondering if we still have chances... 

Edited February 3, 2022 by SpikeytheCactus

[Carter1000]

Got deferred by BBS as well.... also wondering if we still get chances. May be we will hear back next week if we don't then I think it might be a real waitlist..

[Spencering]

Has anyone finished their interview with Baylor college of medicine? Would you please share some experience?  I'm in immunology track. Thank you so much! 

[ImmunoCat]

Just received an acceptance from UCLA!! I am so excited as this is one of if not my top choice!!
