tcmazer Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Just contacted Northwestern DGP, they are definitely not done with interview invitations yet, people are still rejecting invitations and more spots are open, so it is very much still possible to get an acceptance by March 15th. jl2782, hopefulengineer and RR1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lxtian Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Tufts Immunology invite- half day information session/interview on February 24. I e-mailed them early last week since I was getting anxious, and got the same generic "all applicants will be notified at the end of May" response. I guess they tried to send me an invite the day after I asked about the interview dates, but they mistyped my e-mail address, so I didn't get it until they realized their mistake 5 days later and sent it again. It looks like they may be a little slow with getting invites out, but looks like they're coming, for all those who are waiting!

ERR_Alpha Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Tried calling the number listed for Tufts ISP, got the directors voicemail! Gulp. Didn't leave a message. Guess I'll keep on waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.J Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Mt. Sinai & Einstein are very silent. No closure reject email from Weill Cornell BCMB so far. I loved Hershey Penn state program. More than happy to go there. Can't wait for it to be April. I would know where I'm heading for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else want to give them a call? They probably all know me over there by now. MrsWizard and T.J 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aba1984 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Since we have a decision made (congratulations!), I think I'll start the get to know you/decisions thread. Is there anything you guys want included in the first post that people should indicate when they introduce themselves? How about a line that asks people why they chose that school over their other offers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monochrome Spring Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 How about a line that asks people why they chose that school over their other offers? Definitely. What about something like: University y Program biology subfield x Degree masters/phd Are you okay with being contacted via PM about housing/meetups? yes/no Why did you choose this program? explanation aba1984 and persimmony 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etern Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Congrats! Did you hear back from Cambridge MGM? ^^ I did not. I informed Sanger on Sunday that I would accept their offer. I am guessing that maybe the MGM program somehow found out, so I did not get any email from them today. What about you? Did you get an offer?

I am guessing that maybe the MGM program somehow found out, so I did not get any email from them today. What about you? Did you get an offer? there's a big overlap in the direction, so they might have found out. I didn't get any emails from them today, and the admissions officer is not replying either. Maybe they've postponed decisions, which sucks. Edited February 3, 2014 by theycombinator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elanorci Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I was supposed to fly to Princeton today for my interview (not the main weekend - I'm visiting on my own since I couldn't make any of those) and lo and behold there is a snowstorm in Newark! My flight is 3 hours (and still no word yet in departure) delayed, and I was supposed to go to a really cool departmental meeting tonight I have learned a valuable lesson: when picking interview flights, especially in the Northeast and especially during winter, be sure to get in as early as possible! I picked an afternoon flight so I could make my morning class, but in retrospect it wasn't worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes, people get admitted before their interviews, if they get a competitive fellowship offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
