KS4789 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 i got an offer on friday from johns hopkins CMM, which i'm definitely going to accept. haven't heard a word from duke pathology (interviews or anything) assuming I got rejected, but, waiting to email them and say "you can disregard my application" until i have the actual letter in my hand from hopkins... even though ive listened to that acceptance voicemail a bajillion times to make sure i wasn't hallucinating.
Suleman10 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Which UMDNJ campus? I was accepted to UMDNJ-Stratford for biomedical science I was interviewed for New Brunswick for Joint Molecular Biosciences
Suleman10 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Guys, If anyone has been accepted by Baylor Pharmacology and not accepting it than please decline the offer asap, as I am on waitlist and BCM is my dream college
coonskee Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Guys, If anyone has been accepted by Baylor Pharmacology and not accepting it than please decline the offer asap, as I am on waitlist and BCM is my dream college I have nothing to do with Baylor, but I was told by several people at CU Integrated that if you let the program know that it's your top choice and you definitely will accept their offer if given one, it might bump you up even higher on the waitlist. Good luck! I hope you get in
Sulay Patel Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 @Sulay Patel My interview will be 2/21-2/22. I just saw on the results page that someone got rejected from Mount Sinai a few days after their interview. If you are reading, can you please let me know what the interview was like? Well i am suppose to have video interview but they haven't given me the dates yet for the interview. Do let me know how was your interview? if you have any advice/suggestions/ thoughts to share , it will be great.

I got an offer from them as well . I'm trying to decide between Duke (UPGG) and JHU...but this decision doesn't seem as easy for me..... Congrats and hoping for us both to get that official letter soon!
Business2Biology Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 did anyone hear back from USC computational biology and bioinformatics? Sorry for the delay. Just found out that a friend is interviewing in a few days, 23-25 Feb.

pbv Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 @Business2Biology Are you sure that it is from USC computational biology and bioinformatics your friend heard back? . Or is it from USC PIBBS? Even they have a bioinformatics track.
CC2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 I was waitlisted at UMD-Baltimore for the Micro program. Has anyone else heard from this program? And if accepted, would you mind sharing your stats? Thanks!
hwbulls Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 I was waitlisted at UMD-Baltimore for the Micro program. Has anyone else heard from this program? And if accepted, would you mind sharing your stats? Thanks! I was waitlisted by them too, but for Neuro. Good luck!
Business2Biology Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Are you sure that it is from USC computational biology and bioinformatics your friend heard back? Not totally sure, but his POIs are listed here, "Molecular and Computational Biology", which appears to be the larger organization of the "Computational Biology and Bioinformatics" program. It looks like the program is affiliated with a number of departments, so perhaps thing will play out differently if you applied through Math or CS?
Dengue2011 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Hi, Has anyone here already interviewed at Mount Sinai? I have a neuroscience interview coming up next week, and this is my top choice, so any advice/info/thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated! How was your interview at Mount Sinai? Did you get any more information on acceptance rates? Any other thing you would be willing to share is very much appreciated. Edited February 24, 2012 by Dengue2011
Dengue2011 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Well i am suppose to have video interview but they haven't given me the dates yet for the interview. Do let me know how was your interview? if you have any advice/suggestions/ thoughts to share , it will be great. I have been invited for a Skype interview with Mount Sinai. Have you been contacted by the program yet? If not, have you contacted them and got any response? After 3 weeks of waiting, I sent them an email, but I got no reply so far. It's been a week since I sent them the last email. It's starting to freak me out. Edited February 24, 2012 by Dengue2011

risingsun11801 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Has anyone heard from their 2nd choice program at Baylor? I'm wondering if anyone has ever gotten an interview after their app has been rejected by their 1st choice program or if it's just a formality to give us false hope.
KS4789 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 I got an offer from them as well . I'm trying to decide between Duke (UPGG) and JHU...but this decision doesn't seem as easy for me..... Congrats and hoping for us both to get that official letter soon! Well, I'm biased, since I did my undergrad near Baltimore and I just love it there, but JHU's recruiting weekend was awesome (I went in Jan) and the people there were cool. Plus... its Hopkins, so its world-renowned (is that the right word? i bombed the GRE verbal) Duke was my other choice, but I haven't heard from them, one of the guys at the CMM weekend said Duke lost his application, and JHU was my top pick anyways. But Duke is great too, ridiculously pretty campus. Good luck with the decision making! Both are top universities, so congrats on the offers.
Suleman10 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Got an accept from UTHSC San antonio for IMGP, anybody going there or can share some information abt the program?
SamreenF Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 can any one tell me about acceptance or interview response from WUSTL for neuro?
MountainGuy32 Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Got an accept from UTHSC San antonio for IMGP, anybody going there or can share some information abt the program? Congrats - I just sent in my SOI for the IMGP this week. Let me know if you end up going there vs. Baylor!
Suleman10 Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Congrats - I just sent in my SOI for the IMGP this week. Let me know if you end up going there vs. Baylor! @ MountainGuy 32.... Thank you so much for the prompt response! I am mostly accepting the offer, as IMGP gives me more flexibility in choosing a track while Baylor will restrict me to Pharmacology. Can u please give me your email ID, and you can contact me on hussainsuleman10@gmail.com .. thanks again!
Mehran Karimzade Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Has any one heard from Princeton Molecular Biology, USC PIBBS, UCSC MCD or MSU MCB so far?
Weirdlight Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Hi I have an interview for Temple Fels Institute in Philly in two weeks, but I'm getting really curious about Stoney Brook. I already got turned down for UofC , OHSU, and Watson School at Cold Spring Harbor and wanted to know my chances with Stoney brook before the interview. Has anybody heard from Stoney Brook in Molecular Bio yet???
