knightrunner Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 For those that applied to ACCESS UCLA Genetic & Genomic program the director said they are still reviewing applications so I guess all hope isn't lost. elanorci and knightrunner 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ss2player Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Congrats. We get to barbecue on the beach, so it should be quite an interview. Â Yeah, I saw the PDF! Let me know how yours goes...what dates is your weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightrunner Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 After interviews/acceptances/rejections are done, I'm going to make a new thread for where we're attending. Maybe we can all figure out meet-ups, housing, etc. Â That's a great idea. Â You should put the title as Fall 2014 Grad Warriors or something catchy along the lines knightrunner, lasercats11 and ss2player 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iheartplants Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Interesting post as some of you start looking ahead to making grad school decisions. This entire blog is incredibly interesting as it is written from a professor's point of view. Intriguing... Also check out the "Interview" section of posts. Helpful.

This entire blog is incredibly interesting as it is written from a professor's point of view. Intriguing...  http://science-professor.blogspot.com/2010/03/go-ahead-reject-me.html  Good post and good info. I had to send a rejection last time around and I really did feel bad because he was such a nice guy that took a lot of time with me. But I did exactly what the post said, explained that I chose Other University because it was a better fit and thanked him for everything.  Though I'd rather reject a school than have them reject me!

RR1 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 March? Oh good. I applied December 14th so I should get some sort of super early bonus right? Right? English fail in my last comment lol *dont lose hope...but yeah when I called the travel agent to set up times they were talking about three interviews being scheduled (6-8, 20-22, and march first or second week).  Heard anything from Wisconsin? Emailed them a while ago and they said a full decision will be made by the end of January =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persimmony Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) ^ Which program at Wisconsin? Â If you're wondering about CMB, they have this google spreadsheet for it that shows so far, 53 people have responded to interview invitations, and it looks like 20 of those people have declined their interviews. So 33 interviewees so far. Â Last year's stats show that they offered 43 spots. So if you are waiting on this program you may still have a chance! I got invited to interview Jan 6 and was asked to complete the form by Jan 15, after which another wave of interviews was probably sent out. Not sure when they have to respond by.

medullate Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I have another question: Do most schools interview on Fridays? I only applied to state schools and I am expecting at least one visit. Do many mid-ranked (still don't really know where the schools I applied are ranked) state schools do skype interveiws instead? I am concerned about the Friday thing because I have one class that is Friday morning only, and I don't want to end up missing it (I live far away from absolutely everything so if I had to travel, it would take most of the day). So I may end up not taking this class. My questions here are often a little random but I really appreciate everyone who has helped me out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the interviews that I'm attending do take place over a time period that includes a Friday, but I have two that are just totally in the middle of the week. Small sample size, but hope it helps! compbio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threading_the_neidl Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Not much new info for BU. The interviews are this Friday and Feb. 10. We were told to tell recruits that (very) roughly 50% will be accepted after interviews and they're aiming for ~20 people to matriculate. I have no idea if late interview offers will be sent out. I do know that I'm getting free sushi and lunches for awhile thanks to you guys, though. Yay recruitment! ERR_Alpha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylvia88 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 wait! Harvard is 100% accept after getting an interview? all programs? I don’t think so... It is more likely to be around 50% (At least for SysBio) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
