sunpenguin Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 My count so far is: Interviews at Michigan State University (Plant Biology PhD) and University of Pittsburgh (Evolution and Ecology PhD). Assumed rejections from Stanford University (Evolution and Ecology PhD) and UC Berkeley (Integrative Biology PhD). Nothing yet from University of Maryland CP (Behavior, Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics PhD). To complicate matters with Berkeley, the IB web page says that if you aren't invited to the visit weekend, it does NOT mean you aren't still being considered. So after seeing that, I had to move Berkeley from my "assumed rejection" list back to my "still in the running" list. I spent a whole day there in November for an individual visit, because I was invited to spend the day at one particular lab, so maybe I'm still being considered, because it makes sense that they might not need to invite me to come back a second time. It's FAQ #9. Sorry to add this into the mix, because I know it's sometimes easier to assume you can check the university off the list as a rejection than to keep wondering whether you'll hear from them.

In past years it seems they were pretty late about announcements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aba1984 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Got an email from WuSTL saying that they are still reviewing apps including mine and that they will finish in the next 2 weeks. Ummmm, interviews have already started...they must've gotten a ton of applications since they can't get to everyone in time for the interviews (kinda not fair), or maybe I'm rejected but they just don't want to tell me.

T.J Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Thats scary... may be Mt. Sinai applicants are not here in gradcafe. Re Mt. Sinai - I e-mailed them and they got back to me with this: " ...many have already been sent out but we are still in the process of doing so." As there are only two on the Results Search maybe not that "many" have been sent. Just FYI for those of us waiting! I applied to all 4 of those and waiting to hear from them. I got invites from Cornell-Weill, Einstein,NYU and mount-sinai I haven't heard from Columbia,Stony Brook or cold spring harbor. I got rejection email from Sloan-Kettering and Rockefeller. Good luck for everyone on the interviews... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCN Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Has anybody interviewing for Dartmouth MCB received a schedule or hotel information?

jl2782 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Alright, which one of you got an interview at Health Science Center San Antonio? I submitted my application on 12/26/2014 and received an interview by email on 1/12/2014. After speaking to the assistant dean for admission, it appears that they're going to have two interview weekends: one on Feb 6-8 (which I'm attending) and Feb 20-22. I believe that they do rolling admission, so don't throw in the towel yet! Good luck:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightrunner Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I am still waiting on Brown, Stony Brook, Nebraska, Purdue and a few more. Yeah, I figured. I'm still honored though, it is a major reach school for me I hope you get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elanorci Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I've probably asked this about a billion times, but one last try: did anyone else apply to Harvard Biophysics? Decisions were sent out last year on the 24th, which is this Friday, so I'm getting antsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monochrome Spring Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 After interviews/acceptances/rejections are done, I'm going to make a new thread for where we're attending.

ERR_Alpha Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Also does anyone have another update on BU PiBS? I would email again but I don't want to look annoying... I know they've gotten a ton of snow so maybe that delayed them. Last Friday I was told I "shall be hearing shortly"... is a week and a half shortly?

I'm not counting on anything from Berkeley, but it was nice to know someone was interested in working with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
