katethekitcat Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 This is via a friend who is also applying but doesn't use these forums, so no stats, unfortunately: received an invite for microbiology at the University of Minnesota and the University of Michigan two weeks ago.

Eatin' Biscuits Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Well some folks are working this week.. received an invite to UVA first thing this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERR_Alpha Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I got my invitation the 13th of december last year. And in case you wanted to know Invite for Hopkins biophysics was received on january 8th. Thanks! Maybe Cornell's a no then. Planning on emailing them post new year.

ERR_Alpha Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Yeah I did! I haven't heard back from Hopkins yet though, have you? I got an email asking for my missing LOR that said they don't start reviewing until Jan 6th. They had the latest deadline of anyone for me.

ERR_Alpha Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 So, for those us who haven't gotten interview invities for Yale BBSB and Berkeley MCB at this point ...we can pretty much assume we've been rejected? I still haven't heard from Yale BBSB either, if it's any consolation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLabCoat Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I still haven't heard from Yale BBSB either, if it's any consolation. Idk if it helps but Yale's BBS in microbio goes through into the new year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERR_Alpha Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Idk if it helps but Yale's BBS in microbio goes through into the new year My instinct says BBSB will too since they didn't send them all in one wave like Harvard did. Fingers crossed anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orims Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 For those waiting to hear back from JHU-BCMB, I had trouble with my transcripts and last names (2 last names generates so much trouble!) but I was able to call them today and I promptly received this message: Hi -, You are correct. It completed out after I left for today’s review meeting and I have already sent your file on to the director. It will more than likely be reviewed next week at which time I will be back in touch with you. So it seems there might be another wave of interviews next week.

0908 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) I got a phone call for an interview at Michigan this morning. I was sure that I had been rejected after people had posted getting interveiws two weeks ago. Its my top choice so I'm more than excited. Two interview dates to choose from Jan 30-2 and Feb 6-9. Looks like they are still sending out invites!! Does anyone know if Arizona ABBS has sent out all of its intives yet? Anyone have an update about Vanderbilt IGP or Emory BCDB???

leslberries Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Just got an email from Scripps today (my top choice, so best Christmas present ever!); the interviews are Feb 20-22 or March 6-8 for the La Jolla campus, not sure about Jupiter (didn't apply) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have food poisoning so I honestly thought I hallucinated the phone call but my phone says i didn't. I know PIBS gets a lot of apps and maybe they went department by department for the interviews. I have a friend who applied to Cornell's Microbial Pathogenesis program also, I'll ask her if she's heard back. Congrats on the University of Washington interview!!

Thanks for the Michigan PIBS info, wolbachia0908, and congratulations on your interview! I sincerely hope that the PIBS interview offers are progressing department by department; in fact, I kind of suspect it as their recent behavior in no way models last year's. I know first-hand that UNC-CH BBSP operates in the aforementioned manner. Any folks out there been offered interviews from the Biophysics grad program in PIBS??

T.J Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I am officially starting to hate the weekends and holidays. Not likely to hear about my applications for another week. I am actually reading Quantum mechanics :| , watching Feynman's lectures, pondering about double slit mystery and furiously searching for something similar to gene mapping of economy.

DirtyLabCoat Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Same here, no response from the Weill program coordinator Lea. Frustrating. Yes, I can't figure out if they send them out in waves or not from the past results page :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0908 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Yes, I can't figure out if they send them out in waves or not from the past results page :/ They probably send them out in waves now. The number of apps increase each year so I doubt they can send them out in one day. Seriously, If I can hear from Michigan 2 weeks after other people posted interviews on this forum you should be fine. It seems like a big program. Really small programs do it all at once. The UC I am at has a small MCD program they get close to 100 applications a year and they reviewed everyone in 2 days and sent out the interview offers a couple of days later all at once.

Eatin' Biscuits Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Congratz!! Did you get invites for UVA BIMS? or chemistry? UVA BIMS. Applications may be split up based on the interests you list on your application because I listed Immunology as my first choice discipline and my email was from the director of Microbiology, Immunology, and Cancer Biology.

kevintoy Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I've been a lurker for some time yet I thought it doesn't hurt to post something here. I'm an international student currently studying in the US; I applied for 8 programs and so far I got only one skype interview of which I don't know the result yet and nothing else. Does anyone know if it's normal for international applicants to wait longer or I'm basically fucked this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
