Mount Sinai Brown (rejected super fast after submission) Stanford REACH (sadly rejected in 2nd round) UNC Johns Hopkins Columbia MSK (rejected like 1 day post-submission) Duke UMass Chan Vanderbilt CU Anschutz NIH IRTA glassskinprincess 1
AlonaAbu Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Hi!

glassskinprincess Posted April 2 Author Posted April 2 UCSC sent an update saying interview invites will be sent by 4/19
glassskinprincess Posted April 5 Author Posted April 5 I didn't apply to UPenn but UChicago deadline was recent so they haven't sent updates yet. How were your interviews? What kind of questions were they asking?
AlonaAbu Posted April 8 Posted April 8 Here are some general interview questions I have been asked, every. single. time. They will also start with asking for a quick overview of yourself so I wrote out a general elevator speech of who I am and how it led me to prep - Why PREP? What do you most want to get out of this program? - Have you had research experience? (if you say yes) What did you do and find from the research. - Have you had good mentorships before? What made that relationship successful? What do you look for in a mentor - How have you responded to a hard situation during your undergad? - What do you expect your greatest challenges to be in grad school? -"what will you bring to the PREP cohort", - "where do you see yourself after your PhD" - "what specific skills do you hope to gain from PREP" - Make sure to look at the faculty as they will ask if you have any in mind - They will ask what specific research you are interested in etc etc
jbest Posted April 8 Posted April 8 Glad to find the one for this year! I've applied to UNC, Johns Hopkins, UMD, and UChicago. Ive already been rejected from UNC and John's Hopkins, haven't heard back from Chicago or Maryland yet. Marylands application was due way back in January and i have yet to hear anything at all so I'm assuming rejection unless no one else has heard anything. And of course i still haven't heard from Chicago since they extended their deadline by a week. I did submit awhile ago and thought they were doing rolling admissions but I'm not sure anymore. Good luck to everyone who applied! glassskinprincess 1
AlonaAbu Posted April 8 Posted April 8 I have been waitlisted at UPenn! Better than I was expecting tbh glassskinprincess and buenoquizas 2
justtryingtogotogradschool Posted April 10 Posted April 10 I was rejected from Brown a while ago, like a week after the deadline I think? @buenoquizas

Sinai. Only have Vanderbilt and CU left and possibly the NIH, but apparently they have a hiring freeze since Congress can't do their jobs and pass a budget...thanks Congress glassskinprincess 1
Giabia Posted April 11 Posted April 11 (edited) Hi everyone. I applied to NIH PREP programs at… CU Anschutz Duke JHU UT-San Antonio Rochester University Albert Einstein Yale University So far JHU rejected me and Duke waitlisted me after an interview. I’ve also had interviews with UT- San Antonio and U of Rochester, but I’m still waiting to hear back. Somebody please boost my confidence… I’m so scared that I may not get in anywhere. Anyone heard anything from these schools? Edited April 11 by Giabia glassskinprincess 1
Giabia Posted April 12 Posted April 12 I was accepted by University of Rochester today. 😆 glassskinprincess and AlonaAbu 2

glassskinprincess Posted April 17 Author Posted April 17 But they have rolling admissions I wonder if they already accepted some of their cohort

glassskinprincess Posted April 17 Author Posted April 17 RIGHT same. I don't want to get my hopes up even though I really want to go there. Please update us on what they email you back hehe
