persimmony Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Hate to be "that guy," but technically that assumes that each school chooses the 50% they accept from the pool of interviewees by completely random chance... hopefully that's not how they make admissions decisions haha Haha yes, this is obviously a simplified graph assuming you're either in or you're out. Also assuming your interviews won't be a disaster and that your numbers and letters look good enough on paper to get your foot halfway in the door. If you screw up in your interviews/events...well, adjust the numbers downward accordingly Edited January 12, 2014 by persimmony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLabCoat Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Wow, I saw a Yale BBS Microbiology for an international student. I am not applying to this track, but surely Yale are reviewing international applications! I still have hopes ! yale has been done for a while now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raerosk Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 From what I understand about Yale which is currently my top choice, they send out invites to the people they are ready to make offers to, and as long as you don't botch the interview you'll make it in. Due to admissions in other schools, and that people that have interviews there likely will be interviewing at Harvard and Stanford etc. they get about a 40-60% acceptance rate to their offers. A lot of this information is second hand word of mouth, so take it or leave it. The letter sent out to interviewees though says "We anticipate that most visitors will receive offers of admission" for what it's worth.

UIC - GEMS Loyola University, Chicago - IPBS U of Maryland, Baltimore - Molecular Medicine University of Kentucky - IBS University of Nebraska Medical Center - CRGP U of Tennessee Health Science Center - IBS I am getting worried. Haven't heard from any of them yet! Good luck to all! Edited January 12, 2014 by Signal transduction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leslberries Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Saw Stanford and Berkeley Biophysics on the results page anyone here want to claim those posts, maybe more details? Hopefully I'll hear something tomorrow, and if not then at least starting classes (and my undergrad thesis ugh) will be a nice distraction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we can resolve not to despair yet together! There may still be more invites coming. I'm trying not to panic yet. (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, U Maryland, Baltimore sent out their invites for Molecular Micro + Immuno (can't remember exactly if that's connected with Molecular Medicine or not) on January 23 or so, and their rejects the day after. That's all I have info on, though! Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin123 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hi everybody! I was wondering if someone knows when are the interview weekends for Cornell Plant Biology and Davis Plant Biology? Or just to get an idea, if you applied to another Biology program, when are the interview dates for your programs? Many thanks :-) Good luck to all those that are waiting for emails this week ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stizz Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Anyone interview at University of Pittsburgh IBGP this weekend? I was originally scheduled for this weekend, but had to push it back. I was wondering how it went and what your thoughts were? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nns91 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 When are you going to Pitt, stizz? I am going on Feb 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabester Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) I interviewed at Pitt this weekend, it was a lot of fun. They do a great job at showing you the facilities and getting you to mingle with the researchers. It's very laid back in my opinion, very much a mutual respect situation ... so that should hopefully alleviate some stress! And I should note that I don't mean laid back in the sense of nothing going on (you're constantly doing things and going places) but rather everyone is approachable... I never felt pressured or uncomfortable Edited January 13, 2014 by Mabester NeuroGirl042 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thesbane Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Just for those of you who applied to UT Southwestern, I just got an interview invitation two hours ago.

I called the UMD molecular medicine admission office and the coordinator told me that the committee is not meeting until 21st jan. Thank you Leuco!

tuba250 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 All I've heard about Rice is that they send interview invites in January. The academic term starts Monday, so I would hazard that they'd make some decisions this week. Thanks for that info I see that you have got an interview from UT Austin.Congratz!! When did you get it? I applied to the Biochemistry program (International applicant). Can you give me any info about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
