Methylmadness Posted December 31, 2013 Author Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) yup. unfortunately. I might give them a call next Monday if we don't find anything out by then, I figure that gives them ample time, I just want to know if they've sent out their interview invites or not because I have another interview pending on this one.... ha ... if i even get it Edited December 31, 2013 by Methylmadness
sciguy Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Someone in chat said that Harvard shut down until Monday bc of snow?
Methylmadness Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 ahhh okay.. that makes a lot more sense, I called today, but it went to voicemail...hopefully it will be better on Monday.... Yeah the snow storm is suppose to hit here in NYC pretty soon... aka now
Methylmadness Posted January 7, 2014 Author Posted January 7, 2014 I know, I sent another follow up email today... I was half tempted to call.... really I want to call, but I know I shouldn't.
katethekitcat Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 It's going to take them a lot longer to get acceptances/rejections/invites out if they have to answer individual e-mails and phone calls from everyone who applied The waiting game is tough, but it's normal not to have heard things back yet. Schools understand you have multiple interviews and will usually be flexible if you need to work around a date. epikid2014 and sciguy 2
Methylmadness Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 I called, they have sent out all their interview invites. Oh well.
12345679! Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I also applied to this programme. What time did you call? I called at about 10am boston time and they said that they were still in review...
Methylmadness Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 I called at 4:30 pm EST and I talked to the BPH program director and she said they were all out. Who did you call? I sure hope that they are still in review.
12345679! Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Holly, but it looks like you got there after me so it seems they finished reviewing between our calls.
Methylmadness Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 Did you ask if they were still reviewing apps or if they had already sent out their interviews? It seems strange that they would give us conflicting info on the same day, but oh well
12345679! Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I asked about the status of admissions and she said they were in review. I asked about interviews because I need to know as I am doing fieldwork in Africa so need ensure I am in a suitable area for the date, and she said they had not been sent out yet [however as I said this was earlier in the day so perhaps they went out yesterday; I still do need to know though so am unsure how to proceed]. She checked my name as well.
Methylmadness Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 Yeah, based on the website the recruitment date is next week, but if they are still in review, that gives me hope. I didn't ask specifically about my own application, maybe I should have, oh well. The waiting continues.
12345679! Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Without wanting to take away your hope, if she told you all the interview invites were out that seems sort of conclusive to me?
Methylmadness Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 It is true, but I actually went and spoke in person with a few POIs in the fall and stated that I talked to them in my application, no idea if that counts for anything, but until I get a rejection letter (probably likely at this point) I'll just have to wait patiently. The POI stated that he had funding, space in his lab and that I was a good fit, but I really have no idea at this point.

12345679! Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Your application sounds competitive; I'm in a similar position and had been expecting an interview...I think I will give up hope after the recruitment weekend dates. Please could anyone who has heard from them [lots of people are viewing this thread] please post any updates on here.
Methylmadness Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 maybe you should have inquired about your own application ? In retrospect, yes I should have, but I really don't want to be a nuisance at this point. Your application sounds competitive; I'm in a similar position and had been expecting an interview...I think I will give up hope after the recruitment weekend dates. Please could anyone who has heard from them [lots of people are viewing this thread] please post any updates on here. Agreed, has anyone heard anything other information about the program?
