Science_Nerd Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I'm not, but I *am* going nuts waiting for Pitt IBGP... UPitt IBGP is doing one last interview this weekend, so they might be waiting for that to make a decision altogether.
aaabbbccc88 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Accepted. Interviewed on Friday!!!! sunpenguin, pyrocide, aaabbbccc88 and 1 other 4
nns91 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I'm not, but I *am* going nuts waiting for Pitt IBGP... I remember Pitt will call you first and they don't email decisions. Instead, they will send you an UPS package with the letter. Maybe, you will hear back from some of your interviewers. I got 5 emails from interviewers even before I get the official letter. Good luck!

elanorci Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 AHHHHHHH! Just got a phone call, I'm in at Stanford Dev Bio!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!! So much happiness on this thread today :D    Rejected post interview from UC Davis Immunology. Saw that one coming - I think it showed how much I disliked the program during recruitment weekend. Where's the good news??? Well, if you had to get a rejection, it's pretty awesome that you wouldn't have gone to that school anyway Hope good news comes your way soon!

Vene Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Anyone else getting annoyed with the places you've heard absolutely nothing from? When the heck are they planning on rejecting me? I haven't heard back from two programs yet. I gave up on them and accepted an offer I received in January.
toxicgirl Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I haven't heard back from two programs yet. I gave up on them and accepted an offer I received in January. What program did you accept and which ones were you waiting to hear back from? Were they post interview? I assume if you haven't received an interview somewhere at this point its safe to accept an offer somewhere else.
immun0 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Rejected post interview from UC Davis Immunology. Saw that one coming - I think it showed how much I disliked the program during recruitment weekend. Where's the good news??? Â Hahaha. Â Same here.
immun0 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 AHHHHHHH! Just got a phone call, I'm in at Stanford Dev Bio!!!!!!!!!!  Congratulations!!!  I was there this weekend for Immuno, and now I'm going to go crazy until I hear something. D:

It's so hard to wait it out... I'm going to try to learn programming as a distraction from constantly refreshing the forum and results page haha.
stizz Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Rejected from University of Washington Microbiology post interview by email. Â I would have declined anyways. Â Looks like I am officially moving to the east coast from California, whether that be at Pitt, Sinai, or Johns Hopkins.

I assume if you haven't received an interview somewhere at this point its safe to accept an offer somewhere else.Accepted an offer from UVM. I didn't hear from SUNY-Buffalo or from UMN. No interview offer, no contact of any sort. Even if by some freak chance they do accept me, I don't care at this point. I like what I saw at UVM. Mabester 1

hopefulengineer Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Question for you all....At my interview this past weekend the director came up to me at the final dinner to tell me that I had been nominated for a university fellowship. It sounded like it was a bit of an honor and so I got too excited and forgot to ask questions. I was wondering if anyone had an idea of what this might generally mean in terms of funding? The stipend for a university fellowship at this place is actually 2k less than the program stipend, so I'm a little confused why this would be a good thing haha. Also, is it safe to assume that I'll be getting an acceptance here?Thanks for the help!!

Also, is it safe to assume that I'll be getting an acceptance here?Thanks for the help!! I can tell you my experience with uni/college/dept fellowships. Â I got the college fellowship $27k + $6k summer for 1 year. Then I got the uni fellowship $25k for 5 years. The uni one looks smaller, but it's larger in terms of years of funding. Also, you can often get the uni fellowship to match the college fellowship you already won. Edited March 4, 2014 by Monochrome Spring hopefulengineer 1

It doesn't increase my stipend, but it's awesome for the department because my funding comes from Penn State and not the program. Also looks good on a resume. hopefulengineer and sys88 2

Also, is it safe to assume that I'll be getting an acceptance here?Thanks for the help!! Â Usually, they nominate only the best candidates for the university fellowships, so it is a very good sign. And when a fellowship pays less than the standard departmental stipend, it is the norm for the program to match the difference so that you're not discriminated against for having an external funding source. hopefulengineer and Science_Nerd 2
takaia Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Has anyone heard back from UConn UCHC for biomedical? I've been twiddling my thumbs since the beginning of February. =/
