hyt5009 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 @ hyt5009.. What program did you apply for at Upitt? I applied to the Interdisciplinary Biomedical Graduate Program (Immunology track) at UPitt. No response from them yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexhll6 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 @Sulay Patel I am going for an interview for Mt. Sinai Neuro 2/21-2/22. I emailed the admissions people, and they told me they are interviewing ~100 people and will enroll 35-38. Does anyone know what that approximately translates to in terms of admission? I assume they will have to admit more than that number of people for those spots to fill up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they will have to admit more than that number of people for those spots to fill up... Usually they take 3x the target number of enrollment, so sounds like they'll probably take nearly everyone. Saw an acceptance posted on the survey for UCSF Tetrad! Trying not to freak out! If the person who posted that sees this, can you give any details? When/what they said, etc? Edited February 9, 2012 by greenertea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulio Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Hey everyone. Has anyone heard anything at all (interview, acceptance, rejection) from NYU Biology??? (Not Sackler). Thanks. There was a round of interviews last weekend (which I went to), and they have another round in a week and a half. I was accepted yesterday (I'm specifically interested in comp bio), so it looks like they're doing things on a pseudo rolling basis. If you're applying for evolutionary biology, I heard a few people say they had a pretty strong crop of applicants this year. That said, if they're making offers so early then applicants might decline them, so waitlist places may appear. Good luck!

paulio Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 So I was just wait listed (no interview) at Yale (BBS - comp bio). Seems like an odd thing to happen - surely they invite enough candidates over to not need to wait list those not even worthy of an on-site interview. They said they'd let me know some time after April 15th, but will they want to interview me at all, and if so when? I'm not holding out much (i.e. any hope) but I'm just confused!

fisherm1 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Somewhat of a misnomer, schools have the right to rescind an offer at any point and time. Its pretty much in the fine print of any school's application form and the CGS is a voluntary organization, not some suicide pact. A reason why you may wish to accept early is that folks that sign on early lock up institutional funding (TAships, RAships, other institutional funds) and if you wait around you may undercut your chances of getting those monies. This isn't a huge problem but some PI's may not wish to take you if they have to foot the bill for you because you strung out the decision process or they needed you to secure those funding mechanisms in order to join their labs. That being said, I've seen offers with a two week window and that is indeed a dick move. In my experience I have found that communicating with schools that have offers on the tables with you that you are waiting for others and found them quite receptive to waiting. In the first (and only, so far) acceptance letter I received, it stated I had until Feb 3 to inform them of my decision otherwise my application would be "inactivated" . I accepted even though it is not my top choice, just to ensure that I have somewhere to go in the fall. Was this the right move?

I accepted even though it is not my top choice, just to ensure that I have somewhere to go in the fall. Was this the right move? Does it make any specific threats about if you change your decision later? Assuming they're part of this CGS stuff, I wouldn't feel the slightest bit of guilt retracting that acceptance after getting a better offer. "Inactivated" on Feb 3rd? Is this a competitive school? I'm assuming that they're either a high ranking school so full of themselves that they have no respect for other people's schedules, or they're so low ranking that they need to dupe people into accepting before they get other offers.

paulio Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 For the record, I just got an email from a member of UChicago's molecular biosciences admissions board to say that their progress had been pretty slow this year, but that they're still processing applicants (and that my application, "has been evaluated quite highly at this point" and I should expect to receive a phone/Skype interview request soon). So maybe there's hope yet for people waiting on that program and the associated umbrella programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
