aberrant Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Guys, I need help! I had an interview with a potential supervisor from U British Columbia. Before he decided to interview me, he asked me to send him my transcripts and my recs had to sent him their letters. He told me that he was interviewing a couple of other students and if he decided to offer me a position, I would have to apply to the experimental medicine program at UBC. Today, he offered me a position with a stipend (he has been awarded with a pretty good grant)!!! And asked me to inform him on my decision ASAP because he wants me to begin in August-September. But I'm kind of lost now... Does this mean that I have to apply to the program, but I'm unofficially accepted? (maybe because his grant would cover the expenses and not the department?) i believe that's the way it works for graduate school in Canada. If 1 professor accepted you to his/her lab, then the program will accept you. You may consider this as unofficially accepted, but you'll still need to fill out the paperwork, application, and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impatient7 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 soo about this "wait list" message that UCSD bioinformatics sent out.. does anybody know if this is just a list of everybody who didnt get an invite or if there were actually full on rejections sent out in addition to a wait list.. im pretty confident the answer is the former but just wondering if anybody knows otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gram Neutral Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 So I straighten things out with UIC last week, and my app is now listed as complete. Should I call and confirm with them and make sure my application is still included with the priority deadline people, or would that be overkill?

BioBioBio Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Has anyone heard from Scripps (Ca)? I applied to the biological sciences and I am anxious to hear back. It is a pretty high ranked program, but the stats online that I could find for average acceptance was a 3.39 GPA and a 73% GRE. Anyone heard anything different?

mtlve Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) i believe that's the way it works for graduate school in Canada. If 1 professor accepted you to his/her lab, then the program will accept you. You may consider this as unofficially accepted, but you'll still need to fill out the paperwork, application, and whatnot.I am in a similar mess with a lab in Germany. Many countries work this way: you find a lab and then apply to the program. I am not sure if a PI accepting you means that you will pretty much get into the program. I found a mentor in Germany and applied to the graduate program, but I have to give a formal presentation to the program after I start in his lab to determine if I get into the program. I am not sure what to do about this situation either. I think that the only thing we can really do is talk to our prospective mentor.You can try to talk to others that have been in the Canadian system, but at least with Germany my advice has not been completely accurate I think due to program differences. All schools that use this system seem to have a completely different way of doing this it seems I think that some of the canadian schools charge a lot more for international applicants and they do not accept as many international students. I would look into this for your program Edited January 28, 2013 by mtlve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jubilee Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Have any American students on here received interview offers from UWashington's Genome Sciences program? I was rejected by them a while back, but it doesn't look like they've offered interviews to any American students yet (at least none that have posted their results). There are only 3 results posted, 2 American rejections and 1 international interview offer from back in December. This is in contrast to last year, when there were 5 interview invites posted by now. Funding issues, maybe? Anyway, I'm done waiting for the other schools to respond. I've received 7 interview offers and 1 rejection. I'm extremely fortunate. I thought for sure I'd be rejected everywhere, so I'm very excited by the results thus far. I'm only going to go on 4 interviews, so the pressure is on, but hopefully I'll pull through and receive a final acceptance from at least one program.

They are affiliated with the Biochem departs. In fact if I read right, I can chose to rotate through the Chem and Biochem department labs......

stmwap Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) I've decided interviews are the most awful thing ever. They try to woo you and then they reject (some of) you. Edited January 28, 2013 by stmwap mop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genesplicer, No i did not interview, they emailed me saying that i was accepted and inviting me to visit the school from march 7-10. I know in the previous post i put from march 8-9 but i just got another email that has the list of full schedule of the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
