Science_Nerd Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Finally got a official rejection letter from Mount Sinai today Sorry to hear that. But let's stay positive. It was THEIR loss. Science_Nerd 1
LDNgrad Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Anyone know if USC PIBBS has sent out all interview invites?
devneuro18 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Acceptance via email from Weill/SKI BCMB program, looks like a generic email sent to everyone. I will likely end up accepting their offer. Glad to be done with this process, best of luck to everyone else! persimmony, pyrocide, BostonBio153 and 5 others 8

nns91 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Accepted to Weill Cornell IMP! Did not think I would get it after getting grilled by my first interviewer. Science_Nerd, Sylvia88 and pyrocide 3
immun0 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Just finished my Davis interview weekend for Immunology. I didn't leave with a positive outlook on the program, and I'm bummed because I really wanted to love it there. It wasn't my greatest weekend either. The others went way better overall. I just attended that interview as well, and same impression. I was not at all impressed by the program, faculty, students, etc. Definitely my least favorite interview so far.

ss2player Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 I just attended that interview as well, and same impression. I was not at all impressed by the program, faculty, students, etc. Definitely my least favorite interview so far. Dang, good thing I didn't apply to Davis! I was mainly spurred by Murphy, so gunning off of one faculty member is never a good idea.
T.J Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Finally got a official rejection letter from Mount Sinai today Sorry about rejection. I'm waiting to hear from them.
zebura Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Sorry about rejection. I'm waiting to hear from them. I always have a feeling that if we don't hear from adcom at teh end of Feb, we can simply assume that we got rejected

unfortunate Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Finally got a official rejection letter from Mount Sinai today Me too...
Adenine_Monarch Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Don't know how much this matters, but I just called someone in the Caltech graduate studies office about the status of my application and was told to "expect a decision between now and the beginning of April." And I asked her if this was even true of people (like me) that haven't gotten an interview or heard back ANYTHING at all, and apparently that's the case. I was also again told that not all options do interviews, even though I specified that I applied to the Biology Ph.D program from the beginning of my call.... Does anyone else think this is weird??
nerdson Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Awesome! Such a good feeling knowing your expenses are covered. Exactly! This time around I opened the letter scanning for any mention of an amount. The rest will be all yadda yadda I knew.
Adenine_Monarch Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 I just attended that interview as well, and same impression. I was not at all impressed by the program, faculty, students, etc. Definitely my least favorite interview so far. I interviewed with Davis, too (BMCDB) and also just had a lukewarm feeling. The program seems great but I left feeling like everything else was a bit so-so and I was sorta disappointed. I really wanted to like it more than I did. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't great, either. One thing that I think made it difficult was that they interviewed all 60+ of us at the same time, which made it hard to feel like you could stand out. I'd be interested in hearing others' impressions of Davis (any program). Please PM me if you would like to share.

I was thinking they put 60+ of you in one room and you had a sentence to stand out Edited February 24, 2014 by persimmony
Fun_Cookie Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) The labs in davis are boring. The school and city are also dull. Edited February 24, 2014 by Fun_Cookie pyrocide, GeoDUDE!, Monochrome Spring and 5 others 1 7

I was thinking they put 60+ of you in one room and you had a sentence to stand out Haha, sorry. Yes, I just meant that the weekend included more than 60 students since I don't think they had any other weekends to spread them out over. This also may be why it took them about 3 weeks to come to a decision (by comparison, all my other decisions have been super fast, about 1 week).

First one so far. edit: first one with stipend and insurance. WHAT!? I got my interview on 10th Feb and I still didn't got any news from them BTW, what program did you apply? Edited February 25, 2014 by zebura
toxicgirl Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Has anyone heard from anywhere other than Weill today?
nerdson Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 WHAT!? I got my interview on 10th Feb and I still didn't got any news from them BTW, what program did you apply? I applied to the Immunology program. A PI I mentioned in my SOP was very interested during the interview itself. I guess that is why a quick offer. They did say though during the interview that they would take two to three weeks to make the decision. Also, because I will have to accept the offer first and then obtain I20 for visa processing stuff so it makes sense that the offer was made out early because the process will be longer for an international student.
