ERR_Alpha Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Later today or tomorrow I am going to try to change my fate on this application process. How so knightrunner?
knightrunner Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 How so knightrunner? I'm still thinking in how to approach this, but I got interviews for possible funding for UCLA and a funding program from Brown only if I get accepted to a graduate program. I figured if potential PI know my status maybe I will get an interview shot, otherwise the money will go to waste. I just can't depend on admissions if they can put 2+2 together. I find it funny in how could I get interviews for this, but not an actual graduate interview yet. knightrunner, tuba250 and ERR_Alpha 3
astaroth27 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Thank you iheartplants! I'm so excited for UM, it's my top choice! I actually applied to the micro program at MSU (more microbial ecologists in that dept). I was surprised by how much I liked the school and would be super happy there as well. I love how all of you Michiganders show the mitten when you talk about where you're from. Super cute. Can't wait to live there (hopefully!!) Who did you interview with in the micro department if you don't mind me asking?
T.J Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Is anybody waiting to hear from NYC univs? Weill Cornell (BCMB), NYU sackler, Einstein and mount Sinai? Is it just me waiting for them or have they gone silent?
Eatin' Biscuits Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Anyone else interviewing at UVA this week?
mini0n01 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Anyone else interviewing at UVA this week? Are you interviewing for UVA - BIMS? If you don't mind me asking, which discipline areas did you indicate?
aba1984 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Guys, what is a pre-interview? My current institution wants to do one and I'm not sure what to think of it.
BostonBio153 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Guys, what is a pre-interview? My current institution wants to do one and I'm not sure what to think of it. Not exactly sure, but usual a pre-interview consists of some sort of list of questions about yourself that the school wants to know before the interview actually happens (maybe something asking about what your general interests are, career goals, or something you might not have mentioned in your personal statement). What was the context of them asking?
RR1 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Is anybody waiting to hear from NYC univs? Weill Cornell (BCMB), NYU sackler, Einstein and mount Sinai? Is it just me waiting for them or have they gone silent? still waiting on weill ...not feeling good about it =/
Eatin' Biscuits Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Are you interviewing for UVA - BIMS? If you don't mind me asking, which discipline areas did you indicate? I'm in the immunology/microbiology cluster.
teddybong Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Is anybody waiting to hear from NYC univs? Weill Cornell (BCMB), NYU sackler, Einstein and mount Sinai? Is it just me waiting for them or have they gone silent? i'm still waiting on Einstein. Einstein sent out their invitations last week I believe.
T.J Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) i'm still waiting on Einstein. still waiting on weill ...not feeling good about it =/ Einstein sent out their invitations last week I believe. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0okhyNTQDvoNmVtQ2VwRUozQms/edit?usp=sharing Here is my analysis in the pdf link: I plotted number of people who herd back from the program either with an Interview/reject (regardless of positive or negative feedback). Take it with a grain of salt. The data suggests that: 1. Weill Cornell sends out invite mostly in Jan. If you dont hear from them by jan end, I would assume its a reject (although there may be a blip chance). :| 2. Mount sinai sends out invites in Jan and Feb. So there is time. 3. Einstein sends out in Dec and Jan. But, Most of the invites so far has been given to American students (not many internationals - I or U categories). So, for internationals, there is still hope. But, If you dont hear by the end of Jan, its likely a reject I believe. :| 4. NYU-Sackler: Starts from Dec and goes upto Feb. So far most of students who received invites are all americans (A). So there is time . Edited January 22, 2014 by T.J Signal transduction 1
knightrunner Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Einstein sent out their invitations last week I believe. I hope Einstein is a rolling bases or I am in huge trouble.

Is it just me waiting for them or have they gone silent? I am still waiting on einstein, and got my rejection from nyu last week. I am also waiting on stony brook, but it can't get ahold of anyone there.
T.J Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I am still waiting on einstein, and got my rejection from nyu last week. I am also waiting on stony brook, but it can't get ahold of anyone there. Wonder if the arctic storm is going to delay the results this week ?
molecularmagic Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Has anyone heard from UVA infectious disease/biodefense. I listed that as my top interest, so I was just wondering if anyone had an interview from that department?
Signal transduction Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I hope Einstein is a rolling bases or I am in huge trouble. Einstein is rolling basis. That part for sure. Good luck! T.J 1
tcmazer Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Well, Einstein has interviews on February 6-7 and 13-14, so there is plenty of time for more interviews to be sent out. Also, looking at earlier results, people have gotten interviews in February as well.
DirtyLabCoat Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 hi all, haven't see you in a while. Had a spike of LinkedIn view from my universities I applied to and have heard nothing yet.. (i.e. Harvard) so maybe we are still wait listed? I have and no rejects officially except UCSF
RatsWithHats Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Officially going to be a grad student next year! Call from Michigan State this morning offering a position in the BMS program. rexzeppelin, aaabbbccc88, compbio and 15 others 17 1
helix29 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Did anyone who is interviewing at CSHL - Watson hear from the admissions committee member who was supposed to send us information on the interview process?
sciguy Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Re Mt. Sinai - I e-mailed them and they got back to me with this: " ...many have already been sent out but we are still in the process of doing so." As there are only two on the Results Search maybe not that "many" have been sent. Just FYI for those of us waiting!
Monochrome Spring Posted January 22, 2014 Author Posted January 22, 2014 My count so far is: Interviews at Michigan State University (Plant Biology PhD) and University of Pittsburgh (Evolution and Ecology PhD). Assumed rejections from Stanford University (Evolution and Ecology PhD) and UC Berkeley (Integrative Biology PhD). Nothing yet from University of Maryland CP (Behavior, Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics PhD).
