LMac Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 @NeuroT, a friend of mine received a UT Austin Neuro invite in mid-December. That's all I know though...
chemaholic Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 I shouldn't probably have shouted out so loudly that I didn't get any rejections so far! UCSF Tetrad Application Status: DENIED! :-( Well, they said they accept 2 international students out of approx. 100 international applicants. This would habe been like winning the lottery jackpot anyway.
Gina Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Happy Thursday! Hopefully the admissions committees will be feeling good and send some invites out...
porge1991 Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 I have a question: what's people's advice on emailing admin committees once you know invites have been sent out but you haven't received anything yourself. For example. a few people here have got CSHL interview offers and I haven't heard a peep. It's not going to crush me if I get a rejection I just really want to know. Is it common to email admin asking a general question about when interview offers are sent out, or is that really pushy?
mengyan528 Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 I emailed Molecular Virology and Microbiology at Baylor College of Medicine yesterday because my active program was moved to this second-choice program. And I was told that they just began reviewing applications (be aware, not just began reviewing MY applications)! So anyone who also applies for BCM and hasn't heard from them, like me, should just be patient. And: " If you are selected for an interview, we will call or email you." It made me sad because in my email, I mentioned three professors that I am interested in. However, the administrator who replied my email gave me a short notice that all of them do not accept students this year. What a pity!
cleverfool Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Invite from UWisc IPIB! Pretty excited. However, both interview options overlap with my current interviews.Hopefully I can work it out with Cornell; they had the fewest number of days overlapped (one). Chicago was all three days.
MizMilli Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 I got an invite on monday. Awww man! :C When did you send in your application?
banksy Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 PHEW! I contacted the Austin Admissions Committee yesterday as soon as i received my interview invite to try and reschedule due to a conflict. I woke upt this morning to -- "You are the official last person I am confirming for the January visit". A good start for the day! mop and biotechie 2

mrmolecularbiology Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Awww man! :C When did you send in your application? I submitted all of my apps on the first of December.
MizMilli Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 I submitted all of my apps on the first of December. Damn. I hope I wasn't too late. My overall GPA is nowhere near as high as most people on here, but I did really well on my GRE and my major GPA is respectable. I'm not sure if they will take that into account, though.

What kind of research experience do you have? Also since your App list is texas heavy, they may have opted to invite people applying to other competitive programs first?
MizMilli Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 What kind of research experience do you have? Also since your App list is texas heavy, they may have opted to invite people applying to other competitive programs first? I'm working in a professor's lab right now and writing a thesis-style paper for an undergraduate research program I'm in. I haven't published anything, unfortunately. I'm graduating in three years, so this is the first year I've actually had room in my schedule for research hours. It's kind of scary seeing the people with two and three years working in multiple labs. UTSW is the best program I'm applying to, since I'm limited to the north Texas area due to family issues.
cleverfool Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Congrats!!! What were the days for IPiB?Feb 14-17 or Feb 28-Mar 3, though it sounded like there aren't any events scheduled until Friday morning. flat_rhino 1

Was it a POI or the program chair?
MizMilli Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Sigh of relief. I called UTSW and they're still reviewing files and offering interviews. Fingers crossed that I will hear from them sometime in the next couple weeks!
ion_exchanger Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 I see over on college confidential that someone called GSK and said they are still reviewing applications. Their interview starts next week. In the words of one of my mentors: how can this be? mrmolecularbiology 1
cleverfool Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Congrats, cleverfool! Who contacted you for the IPiB interview invite? Was it a POI or the program chair?It was a professor, and I'm pretty sure he isn't the program chair, but it seemed like a pretty standardized letter. And, I honestly don't remember if that app. had a place to designate faculty; I know I didn't name anyone in my SoP, nor did I get in contact with anyone ahead of time.
flat_rhino Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 No other IPiB responses on the results page... super nervous.
chemaholic Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 No other IPiB responses on the results page... super nervous. Me too.....
