Thanks a lot... Yeah, I also saw the post. I applied on the priority deadline for UNC. I took the interview  for case western BSTP on November. I'm so panic because I saw someone even got the offer for the BSTP program on grad cafe. Can't stand to loose this one too....?

@Peanut I applied early too....plus had met up with a PI from there at a conference(who asked me to apply and he would talk to the search committee). It's very weird...to say the least.

Emailed UMass Chan. They are still reviewing applications

Saw someone from reddit post that they just got an interview email from UMass Chan. Getting more nervous now.

out of curiosity—what was the wording of your Columbia interview emails? I thought it was a little weird so just curious if we all got the same form letter.

Anyone heard from Emory neuro?

"The Admissions Committee of the Integrated Program in Cellular, Molecular, and Biomedical Studies (CMBS) program has reviewed your application and it was evaluated very favorably. We interview all applicants before making a final decision about acceptance into our program. Therefore, we would like to invite you to visit Columbia University Medical Center for a personal interview."

Just saw someone get an interview from UW. Has anyone heard anything from UW yet?

[CellBioNashiElla]

I just got an invite from UW Madison CMB. International student studying in the U.S.

[CellBioNashiElla]

Just got one from Northwestern Driskill too... these ones last two days and seems like would conflict with some other ones

Got an interview invite from UCSF BMS yesterday night to add-on to what other applicants have said

 

Pleasantly surprised because low grades, no research papers (one review paper and a few presentations) and non-URM status, so theres hope for all the low-GPA gang

Just out of curiosity, for people who've gotten interview invites, when did y'all submitted the application? I submitted mine all around thanksgiving and haven't heard anything back yet...

I've gotten Yale (MCGD) and UCSF (BMS) interviews, I submitted both in the very last minutes

[newtoCMB]

I haven’t heard anything but is there any international student who heard back from Harvard BBS?

A PI that contacted with me before said UC Berkeley MCB will send out emails next Mon/Tues for 2 dates of virtual. Then there will be final recruitment visit in person. Hope that helps.

I've heard that some people had preliminary informal interviews. Are preliminary interviews required to recieve a virtual interview invitation?

Hi, I had my prelim on Tuesday morning and got a call today evening. However I don't think it's "required" required and there may be more waves. Last year someone posted in Jan about prelims. I also feel like this is an international student thing. Would be nice to know if any domestic student got it.

[CellBioNashiElla]

Also got an e-mail from UMich PIBS saying interview invites will be out on Monday, Dec 19 (it may be for CDB only), hope that helps.

Finally got my very first interview invitation from cancer bio at UW-Madison. Super excited. Hope more can continue next week. Finger crossed. Good luck, everyone.

Hi everyone, I'm new here and an international student.

2. Rutgers (Biochemistry)

3. Drexel (BHAD)

4. Miami University (Biochemistry and Chemistry)

 

Thank you

Applied to different program, but falls within Emory GDBBS umbrella. I haven't seen much activity for Emory on reddit or Gradcafe... Staying cautiously optimistic here. Best of luck to you!

Hello All!

Sorry I haven't had the time to post and update on all things grad school apps. The past week has been very busy in terms of research work, but here we are!

I see that a lot of people from here and reddit have gotten interview invites from their programs. First off congratulations! you deserved it. For those still waiting and have not heard from their programs, do not worry! all is not lost, it's not over until it's over. 

As for my application status, I have been fortunate to received interview offers from several programs I have applied to so far, and very happy and excited for whats to come. 

For those wondering, I applied to Immunology Graduate Programs and have gotten interview invites from the following:

• Penn IGG
• Duke Immunology
• Emory IMP
• Weill Cornell IMP

Anyways, stay optimistic! there is still time and like I said all is not lost. wish you all the best

Hi All!

Did anyone hear back from Weill Cornell PBSB program or the Cornell University BMCB program? I know that a couple people received interview invites from Weill Cornell BMCB allied program and IMP program.

[CJ67]

For those who have received an interview invitation for the Vanderbilt IGP program, did you get any sort of email confirmation/follow-up after submitting the survey? I submitted the survey a few days ago but I didn't hear anything back, so maybe they'll send out confirmations later 

[CellBioNashiElla]

I just got an invite for WashU DBBS DRSC (international). Hope that helps
