Science_Nerd Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Accepted to University of Wisconsin - Madison CMB!!!! So happy! Congrats!!!
iheartplants Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 If anyone is waiting on decisions from Berkeley IB, the grad department coordinator says they will be sending out decisions "by March 15."
Mabester Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) MVM (molecular virology and microbio). That's interesting, I thought they were umbrella admissions. But there were a lot of MVM hopefuls on my weekend... Ack. Nothing to do but wait. I haven't been this stressed since April my senior year of high school waiting to hear from the school I'm at now. I got really good vibes from all the profs I interviewed with and talked to at the faculty dinner, and have gotten positive responses to my thank-you emails, so I'm hopeful, but maybe that's a bad thing... They are an umbrella program, their adcom is mostly department chairs from what I got. However, they do subdivide into departments, because certain areas have more applicants to them than others (you had a specify a primary department in your application.) So when I got accepted, I was accepted into IBGP, but the pharmacology department included me in their numbers. It's kind of confusing lol. Regardless, you should've met with at least two department chairs ... also some of the students said they evaluate the applicants too. Â I'm sure you did fine the department kept talking about how much they appreciated students who are particularly motivated for their program and who make the effort to contact them post-interview.

OK, I see. I did meet with some program directors, and one professor I know who was on the adcom. Thanks for the info!! I really, really hope I hear soon.
Monochrome Spring Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 Last interview this weekend. I'm pretty sure I know what my final decision is and I'll probably make the calls within two weeks. Getting excited. Adenine_Monarch, pcsteak, immuno555 and 2 others 5
ERR_Alpha Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Got into UConn! No word on funding or when I could visit, just an acceptance on the website. I have options! Woo. pyrocide, Science_Nerd, rexzeppelin and 8 others 11
Science_Nerd Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Got into UConn! No word on funding or when I could visit, just an acceptance on the website. I have options! Woo. Congrats!! But now it's the start of a terrible dilemma which one to say No to lol haha
suurkate Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Accepted to UC Denver with an additional fellowship nomination. I should feel happy but now I feel torn and terrible that I have to say no to someone. Â Were you at the recruitment this past weekend? I was too, for a different program. I know my program director is in Europe this week so I shouldn't be expecting a decision so soon, but I'm anxious, damnit!
Eatin' Biscuits Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Accepted to UVA BIMS today.. They made me wait a month after the interview but the wait was worth it. I am so happy right now! BostonBio153, elanorci and pyrocide 3

ERR_Alpha Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Dartmouth MCB will be emailing people again tomorrow... Tomorrow will either be wonderful or horrible.
bassish101 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 @spaceimmunology: Awesome! Let me know if you have any questions spaceimmunology 1
sys88 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Â Were you at the recruitment this past weekend? I was too, for a different program. I know my program director is in Europe this week so I shouldn't be expecting a decision so soon, but I'm anxious, damnit! Yup! Which program were you interviewing for?
suurkate Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Yup! Which program were you interviewing for? Computational Bioscience.
JCN Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Dartmouth MCB will be emailing people again tomorrow...Tomorrow will either be wonderful or horrible. Oh really? Any idea of how their admissions process is proceeding?
sys88 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Maybe I'm daft but I've searched around and can't find an answer to my question. I know the "big" fellowships obviously look great on a resume, but what about recruitment fellowships? Do they have much weight? Thanks, guys:)
ERR_Alpha Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Oh really? Any idea of how their admissions process is proceeding? I have no idea. I just asked and told them my interview date. I haven't heard anything yet so who knows.
funkydays Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 At what point is it acceptable to call/email to see whether they've reached a decision on your application? Â I got a lot of "You'll hear from us by March 1st" but haven't heard a peep of accepted/rejected/waitlisted.

gradadmission45 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Got into UConn! No word on funding or when I could visit, just an acceptance on the website. I have options! Woo. did you get accepted without an interview?
funkydays Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Id probably wait until Monday. Â That probably makes the most sense. Thanks! Â I'll go back to my corner and continue twiddling my thumbs. lol walkinlove, ERR_Alpha and pyrocide 3
