CanRes Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I got me a grade-A rejection email from Harvard BBS. Only five schools to worry about now. I hope I can get mine soon. I've decided to take the rejections in humility, so I am printing the emails out and posting them on my fridge.
pyrocide Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I got me a grade-A rejection email from Harvard BBS. Only five schools to worry about now. Whoaaa, I thought they pick people for interviews in one go and mail rejections in March or something. Was it personalized or a mass email, if you don't mind me asking?
tuckbro Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Received an invite to interview via email from MIT BE this morning! The interview weekend is March 7 and 8th. My first official one! ss2player 1
T.J Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 It isn't too bad here in upstate NY. I think most northeastern schools should be open this week. Currently raining here... Crazy weather. Don't worry, it's coming...haha. When I went to sleep last night, it was 60 degrees (F) and was pouring the rain and gusting wind. When I woke up four hours later, it was 28 (F) and snowing. Later it'll be down to -10 (F) with a -30 windchill. Unfortunately my university never ever closes! Thats good to know the schools wont be closed. But, -30 windchill is crazy :| ... Winter is coming...
pstar465 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Does anyone know if all Boston PiBS interviews have gone out?
stizz Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 a bit strange that only one Harvard rejection has gone out...
immun0 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I saw a couple of UCSD BMS interviews on the results search that apparently went out mid-December. I tried emailing them like a week ago to see if interviews had been sent out, but not response. Does this mean rejected? :/
ERR_Alpha Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Does anyone know if all Boston PiBS interviews have gone out? I don't believe they have. They were trickling out, didn't come in one wave. I didn't hear anything from Harvard either. I figured the rejection would be in mass. Weird...
pstar465 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I hate how a lot of schools won't even reject until March. I want to know so I can make plans and move on with my life! nermah1 1
DirtyLabCoat Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I only saw one Harvard Immuno interview go out...maybe it wasn't one wave?
persimmony Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I hate how a lot of schools won't even reject until March. I want to know so I can make plans and move on with my life! Have you tried emailing BU?
pstar465 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Have you tried emailing BU? I did Jan 2, no response

Also WashU Immunology told me they delayed a decision on my app for a week. Still haven't heard anything though...I really hope they don't string me along too much. I am encouraged that I didn't get weeded out in the initial round of rejections...
biohopeful91 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I did Jan 2, no response I also emailed BU this past Friday and haven't gotten a response either...hopefully they're too busy assembling interview offers.
ERR_Alpha Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I also emailed BU this past Friday and haven't gotten a response either...hopefully they're too busy assembling interview offers. Who did you email? I found Natasha responded quickly when I had questions.
pstar465 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Natasha. She responded quickly on a previous email. Perhaps I should call.
elanorci Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Someone posted on the results page that they called MIT and were told that the committee is meeting today and tomorrow and will be sending interview invites "throughout the week." Still nothing here either. This week is gonna be rough in terms of waiting. EDIT: to clarify, MIT Biology. Edited January 6, 2014 by elanorci
biohopeful91 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Who did you email? I found Natasha responded quickly when I had questions. Yeah, I also emailed Natasha.
tuckbro Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 For those waiting for UPenn Bioegineering PhD, I was informed by a PI there that skype or phone interviews will go out "very shortly". Then, if you make it through that you would be invited to campus and interview to determine fit.
ss2player Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I'll sneak in here and say I got a University of Iowa Immunology interview! Everybody else, hang in there. I think a lot of schools are regrouping after the holiday+weather, so sit tight.
CanRes Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Has anyone heard from UPenn CAMB cancer biology yet? I know I've seen some UPenn stuff, but I'm pretty sure each subsection has its own admissions committee.
tuckbro Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 CanRes, I see two listings for UPenn CAMB on the results tab, the interview emails are listed as being received Dec 12th and 13th. Very often there are multiple waves though, so don't lose hope!
acetylcholine Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Whoaaa, I thought they pick people for interviews in one go and mail rejections in March or something. Was it personalized or a mass email, if you don't mind me asking? It was a reply to an email. pyrocide 1
ERR_Alpha Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 It was a reply to an email. Oh boy. Who did you email? Wondering if I should email just for the closure.
