tcmazer Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks a lot @ tcmazer for calling. I tried twice this morning and couldn't reach the coordinator. Thats good to know! Congratulations @ sciguy. Keeping my fingers crossed! No problem. I've tried calling UT-Austin CMB today as well, has anybody gotten any updates with that school?

jl2782 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Just called Einstein. They said if that you haven't heard anything, you're still under consideration and that all interview invitations will be sent out by early/mid-February. Thanks for calling @tcmazer!!! Good to know:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERR_Alpha Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Sending a ton of emails. Heard this back from Hopkins biophysics "The first round of interview invitations have been extended" and then apologizing that she had no further information. I guess this is maybe implying that there will be more rounds? sqxz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mini0n01 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Has anyone heard from UCLA Access? Does anyone know if USC is actually still sending out interview invites? UCLA ACCESS had one interview weekend last Friday and they have one more around Feb. Friday and Saturday, January 24 & 25, 2014* Sunday and Monday, February 9 & 10, 2014* USC PIBBS has one today for this weekend and I think they also have a February date, but I'm not sure exactly. I'm not sure if they're still reviewing/sending out applications, but I actually didn't get any flight information until two days ago, so last minute arrangements are possible. For those of you still waiting on UVa BIMS, don't lose hope! I just got called for an interview . I think they're just going very, very slowly.

BVB09 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) No problem. I've tried calling UT-Austin CMB today as well, has anybody gotten any updates with that school? I interviewed there this past weekend and the only interview dates that were given were Jan 23-25, and Feb 6-8. The last day to RSVP for the Feb interview was on Jan 27. Sorry that's all the info I have. Edited January 29, 2014 by BVB09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like some kind of glitch? I guess I would ask.

BostonBio153 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Sure! Here it is: Undergrad Institution: Top 10 liberal arts schoolMajor(s): Molecular Biology & Biochemistry (just one major, but it sounds like two)Minor(s): Film and Media Culture StudiesGPA in Major: 3.69Overall GPA: 3.71Position in Class: UnknownType of Student: Domestic white maleGRE Scores (revised version):Q: 165 (91%)V: 166 (96%)W: 6.0 (99%)B: didn't takeResearch Experience: -2 summers + 4 semesters of independent research for undergrad. Presented at national and international conferences. First-author paper in medium-impact factor journal and high honors thesis from undergrad. -1.5 years (so far) research as a tech at major cancer research institute. 2 publications from this experience, one second-author review in high-impact journal and one fourth-author in high-impact journal. Awards/Honors/Recognitions: -High honors thesis -Award for outstanding research at international conference -Senior research award at college -Deans listPertinent Activities or Jobs: -TA'd Intro Bio class for 2 semestersAny Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: Not that I can think of! Some volunteer work but nothing too extensive. Also, I've been very lucky to be in a tech position where I'm involved in designing experiments, helping write papers and fellowships. Not just typical tech stuff. I feel like that's helped a lot in terms of learning new techniques and how to do research well.Special Bonus Points: No special connections or famous recommenders. I think that my 3 strong references definitely helped my application a lot though.Applying where: See signature Edited January 30, 2014 by BostonBio153 SysEvo, kimthi1011, perfectionist and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
