Sorry! I just got an invite form Stanford and thought I'd let some of you know. As for the UCSD question, I can actually answer it. I have contacts at UCSD and they told me that all invited were sent in December, and only if they get rejections will they send out anymore to fill the vacancies. Sorry! Congrats!! What department home program at Stanford did you apply to? And congrats to you, SystemsBio!! Edited January 9, 2014 by elanorci
CancerBio123 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Does anyone know whether Stanford sends out interviews all in one go, or whether they send them individually like some other schools?
elanorci Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Someone just reported an MIT biology interview. Aaaah

neuroticism Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 So I just got a Chemical and Systems Biology interview from Stanford (yay!) but their interview date conflicts with Harvard BBS (which I've committed to...and I also have an interview with UCSD during Harvard's other interview weekend). Any advice? I'm worried that Stanford will tell me that if I can't make their interview weekend, I have to forfeit chances of admission. (Which would make me very sad.) Applied (9/9): Harvard BBS, Yale BBS, Princeton MolBio, Stanford Biosciences, UCSF Tetrad, Wisconsin MolPharm and CMB, UCSD, Berkeley MCB, Rockefeller Interviews: Harvard BBS, Yale BBS, Stanford Biosciences, Wisconsin MolPharm and CMB, UCSD, Berkeley MCB Rejections: UCSF Tetrad

sayitaintso Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Stanford Cancer Biology invite on the results page, who was that? Ahh

Adenine_Monarch Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Dumb question I guess, but if you can't attend an interview for a school that invites you for recruitment, does that mean you are basically rejected? Is there any way to still be admitted? Having a small conflict myself. UC Irvine offered me Feb 6-8 which I can't do since that seems to be the most popular interview weekend of all. I told them I couldn't do it and the coordinator basically said that their January date is full (what date is this exactly for anyone who knows or is going?) and oh well, sorry you won't be able to join us.... Is there any hope? I want to respond to the coordinator but I'm not sure how.

As I said, they aren't supposed to send out another WAVE of invites, only a few more if interviews are rejected or they find another candidate in the pile that was like a wildcard

I know how you feel though..Feb 6-8 is so damn popular. Edited January 9, 2014 by persimmony
MrsWizard Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Anyone know what is going on with Einstein Yeshiva? It looks like 2 invites were posted but then silence...
elanorci Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Has anyone else heard from MIT? One result was posted today but apparently nothing else. I haven't heard anything ):

But because I live close, it's no problem. Is it possible to be "wait listed" for a date? I'm sure cancellations and conflicts come up, after all....
~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Hiya, has anyone else applied to UCSF's Chemistry and Chemical Biology program, and if so, have any idea if invites have been sent out?
funkydays Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Has anyone heard from Tufts Sackler School's Integrated Studies Program?

BostonBio153, you're my positive control. According to your signature, MIT & Rockefeller have not sent out their interviews yet haha elanorci, perfectionist, Justin123 and 3 others 6

Orims Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 It seems MIT Microbiology has started to send out interviews, this might mean that Biology will send interviews tomorrow or Monday.
