[mabraham]

Good luck to everyone..Congrats for those who already got interview calls....Anybody heard from UPitt - Biomedical

Am I the only one who seems to be nervous that this Friday is likely to be "G" day, Sloan Kettering day?

Are you sure it's this friday? Do they send out the offers in one wave?

The small amount of reviews on the results page, which I have been studying tirelessly for the past couple of weeks for all of my programs, shows that for the past three years, a lot of Sloan invites have gone out on December 21. There is one person on the results page that says that they heard on January 7. They could do it before or after this year, but just following the trend.

Looks like we are the only people applying to Scripps. Please post any info if you hear from them :-) Good luck

[ImmunoXX]

Yay Scripps! I'm the CA campus, but I will certainly update with any news!

USC Pibbs sent out their interview emails, woo!

[cleverfool]

Just got an interview with UChicago Molecular Biosciences! It's my first response of any kind (most of my apps are due Jan 1, so I'm not quite finished with everything yet), and I'm really excited.

Yep! It came at 6:30 pm.

[mabraham]

When will most of the schools close for Holidays? Can we expect interview mails upto Dec 22nd?

[ion_exchanger]

I believe the majority of schools will be closing on Friday, as I've received a couple of emails that say so. I think that we can expect mail up until Friday.

Thank you !!!

[superoxidedismutase]

I noticed UCSF BMS invites trickling in on the results board. Have they sent a bunch out already? They were both international, so could they handle those separately? Finding any cause to freak out at this point.

[biotechstudent]

Columbia Integrated Program in Cellular Molecular Biomedical Studies sent me an interview invite via email today for Jan 18-20!

Columbia Integrated Program in Cellular Molecular Biomedical Studies sent me an interview invite via email today for Jan 18-20!

I am quite new to this system and am also applying to the Integrated program at Columbia. Do you think that's it with interviews or they'll be sending some more out?

[pghbioteacher]

Invite to Pitt Med PIMB on the weekend of Jan 11. First invite- So excited!!!

[chemaholic]

According to their facebook page the IBMG program at the Indiana University Medical School already sent out some status updates and will be sending out another 50 by the end of this week. Anyone heard anything yet?
