banksy Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 erbbie3 - ucsd didnt even offer their earlier interview weekend?
BCELL23 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Erbbie you are depressing everyone mop and chemaholic 2
bassish101 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Congrats, Erbbie! How many interviews are you actually going to go to?
Erbbie3 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Thanks, bassish! I'm going to all of them as of now. CSHL hasn't gotten back to me about the conflict, and I'm considering dropping JHU. How's it looking for you?
banksy Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 today was pretty uneventful, wonder what tomorrow will bring
bassish101 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 @Erbbie3: I'm probably going to drop JHU, and I'm still unsure what's happening with CSHL... I'm not sure how many interview weekends I could handle since they're supposed to be so exhausting (and they also take time from my classes)... I'm thinking five or six might be my limit.
bassish101 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 @banksy: Yes it was... I'm praying to the gods of science for a Harvard BBS invite (maybe they'll send invites tomorrow?), but this is just wishful thinking lol. I hope we all hear some good news tomorrow
impatient7 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Has anyone heard back regarding UCSF iPQB?
biotechie Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 You guys are making me nervous. I'm only waiting on UCSD Biomedical Science and University of Florida IDP in Biomedical Sciences. I've seen some rejections for UCSD, but nothing for UF. Anyone else applying to UF?
porge1991 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Phew, woke up this morning to my CSHL interview offer. Guess they don't send out all the invites at the exact same time. Supposed to be going 30 Jan - 3 Feb but might be conflict with one of my interview in the UK which is 28-29 Jan. Have asked CSHL if the wednesday is simply the arrival date or the actual beginning of interviews. If its the latter I could probably get there in time but man i'd be exhausted/jetlaggy.
dlouble Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) Has anyone heard back regarding UCSF iPQB? No I haven't. My app online still says "Under Review", but I haven't heard anything specific. Edited January 11, 2013 by dlouble
bassish101 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) somebody posted a harvard bbs invite... Edited January 11, 2013 by bassish101
Whooper Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Has anyone heard back regarding UCSF iPQB? According to their patterns from previous years, they normally send out invites for interviews the Tuesday or Wednesday of the third week of January. So we should expect something next week at least
microman2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 And University of Washington Microbiology...
flat_rhino Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Anymore news from IPiB for anyone browsing this thread?
chemaholic Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Unfortunately no, Flat_rhino! I am desperately waiting to hear from either UW-Madison IPiB or UmassMed BBS...
ImmunoXX Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 You guys are making me nervous. I'm only waiting on UCSD Biomedical Science and University of Florida IDP in Biomedical Sciences. I've seen some rejections for UCSD, but nothing for UF. Anyone else applying to UF? **cautiously optimistic since I haven't been rejected yet for UCSD BMS.......their pattern seems to be a big day of invites in mid-January, so there is hope........I just want one interview! let the furious refreshing continue!
biotechie Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 **cautiously optimistic since I haven't been rejected yet for UCSD BMS.......their pattern seems to be a big day of invites in mid-January, so there is hope........I just want one interview! let the furious refreshing continue! What are your stats like? I'm concerned because my GRE is a little low, but my research experience is awesome, so if they just LOOK at my application, I'm hoping that gives me a chance. If they use the score and GPA cutoff system, I'm screwed.
bassish101 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 I received an interview invitation from Harvard BBS! SO EXCITED!
ImmunoXX Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Same here low GPA (3.3) and my GRE is a spread V 90% Q 50% A 73% but I have 8 years experience in 3 labs and 2 mid-author publications. I feel if they read my app I have a good shot. Some of those rejected had better GPA and GRE. I'm trying to give myself false hope, but now there are 2 days with rejection emails..........ahhhhhhhh
ImmunoXX Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 what did you put for areas of interest? I put molecular pathology and immunology.....not sure if that has any connection to anything......
biotechie Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) what did you put for areas of interest? I put molecular pathology and immunology.....not sure if that has any connection to anything...... I'm not sure how that would connect, either. I put Molecular Cel Biology and Physiology, but I address those two areas as well as Immunology in my SOP and Research Statement. Yeah... my GPA is 3.65, 70th percentile GREs, and 6 years in research labs, 1 publication, and three in progress. We should continue to hope, together. Edited January 11, 2013 by biotechie
Biohopeful Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Interview invite for University of Massachusetts - Amherst! February 22nd and 23rd.
