elanorci Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I know no one here applied but maybe some lurkers did so: I just got an acceptance from Harvard Biophysics!! I thought of it as a big reach because it seemed from their website that they mainly take physical science undergraduates and I'm a biology major. Sooo happy... It's one of my top choices Signal transduction, Sylvia88, knightrunner and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nns91 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Which program at Stony Brook did you apply to BG20? I applied to CMB but have not heard back yet so I guess I am out. Btw, I just had a faculty interviews today at UMass Medical so the nerve of my first interviews are now gone. It was much more casual than I thought. The only thing was that the PI loved to talk about themselves/their research so 30 mins flew by like nothing and I did not have chance to ask that many question. Don't know how well/badly I did though. Edited January 24, 2014 by nns91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonchild1093 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Does anybody know what happened with last year's NYU Neuro&Phys rejection massacre? People said that there were over 950 applicants for 35 spots, but do we know if there was a similarly low number of interview invitations? Were people rejected post-interview? Anybody still here from last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMac Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I applied last year and was part of the rejection massacre. Received it via email on Feb 11th. As far as post-interview, I can't help there since I never made it that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimeric Phoenix Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Can anyone confirm that Stanford has sent out all their interview offers? I have an interview offer for that weekend and I don't want to confirm prematurely, but it seems like I'm just waiting for a no at this point.

Anybody still here from last year? I know that last year, NYU Sackler Biomed (the umbrella program that includes Neuro&Phys, I believe) received ~1000 applicants, ~160 were invited for interview, ~80 were accepted (so 50%) for an anticipated class size of 40. moonchild1093 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immun0 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I had to email them two weeks ago because my status page still said that they had not received my GRE scores. The coordinator responded that they did actually have my scores and that my application was complete, but that's all I got from that encounter. I visited the campus over the summer and talked with Teresa and she said they usually get around 100 applicants and take 5 or 6. So slim chance, but since no one has heard anything, I'm still hopeful. Do you have any idea when invites went out last year? Also, if UW-Micro would just send out their rejections already, that would be great. I have absolutely no idea when they went out last year. At this point, I'm just assuming a rejection and focusing on my current interviews. If I happen to get an email, then all the better. And my account also said they had not received my GRE scores, but I believe that's because you send them to SOPHAS, not Berkeley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BinaryFission - you mention that 80 people got accepted - but they had slots for only 40 people... what would happen if 80 students (or more than 40) would say yes? Which program at Stony Brook did you apply to BG20? I applied to CMB but have not heard back yet so I guess I am out. Btw, I just had a faculty interviews today at UMass Medical so the nerve of my first interviews are now gone. It was much more casual than I thought. The only thing was that the PI loved to talk about themselves/their research so 30 mins flew by like nothing and I did not have chance to ask that many question. Don't know how well/badly I did though. CMB - from what I understand they are still in process of reviewing applicants so stay tuned! When did you get your interview invite for Einstein? There's still hope for Einstein. jl2782 - I got the interview earlier this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what they told us at the interview. There were 4 interviews with about 40 people at each (so 4x40 = 160) and they said they were planning to accept 50% and anticipated a class of 40. I guess they were pretty certain that 50% would accept the offer. Most schools offer about twice as many spots as they plan to enroll.

BinaryFission Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 though it's possible that I miscounted the amount of people and it was closer to 30, which would make 30x4 = 120, 120*0.5 = 60 for 40 spots. it felt like 40 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obaka Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Most schools expect 30-50% enrollment, if more people than expected accept, they usually just accept fewer people the next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
