Someone on reddit that got an interview said there was a internal deadline to respond by 12/20 to which dates they were available for upenn igg. Guess that means everything is out unless they do another batch

For UIC?

Just got an interview invite for CMB at University of Minnesota! One of my top choices!!

Had an hour long discussion with POI last month. That definitely helped!

Hi, not sure if this is the right forum, but just wondering if anyone here applied to the Harvard-MIT HST program? I’m pretty sure interview invites (or rejections…) come out in January and just wanted to see if others applied!

Received an interview from Cornell Microbiology today! 2-day virtual graduate recruitment event at the end of January. 

Still waiting to hear from Vanderbilt IGP, Johns Hopkins BCMB, UW-Madison MDTP, Colorado State Microbiology, and UCSD BMS. Fingers crossed

Did you heard anything from CU Anschutz yet? I saw someone updated on gradcafe result that they got interview. Also, they told me that they will sent out invites this week. 

I received an email from CU Anschutz on December 16th saying I just missed the interview cutoff for the Biomedical Sciences Program but could interview for direct admission with my first choice program. In-person interview weekend is in early February. From the wording of the email all BMS interviews have been sent.

What can I expect for a 30-min virtual interview with Program advisory committee?

Would be great if someone gives an idea on the type of questions they would ask.

I got an email from GEMS that first round of interviews went out, but also that they haven't reviewed my application yet.

They are planning to review applications for the next 10 weeks. I think they are planning on doing rolling admissions till the class gets full

Did anyone apply to MCBGP at Brown University? If so, have you heard anything back?

I will interview with current students and faculty members. I want to know what questions will students ask. How should I prepare my interview with students? Will my performance be rated by students or only by faculty members?

I also had a student led interview but they were mostly there to check the vibes. We bantered about research and we talked about the city. I think that those interviews are pretty low stakes but if you want to be prepared you can look into the labs they are in and ask research questions. The program asks for student feedback but it isn’t weighted heavily.
