Farafeelo Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Oops don't know how to reply, I'm still new to this forum (and I'm on a phone) .... But thank you, expredator!!! Super helpful to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinchik Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Thank you everyone! And congrats!! Is it considered rude or inappropriate to ask the grad admin/advisor if they know roughly what percent of interviewees get accepted? Nope, I did that for every program that invited me.

nutellarain Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Got a call for an invite from Berkeley MCB! Congrats! Just out of curiosity, when did you submit your application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowclaw Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 12/14 of my schools are not done with invites yet. A couple have sent early invites, but are not finished. The rest of them, probably 9 of them wont send anything until January. So I am in the same boat and am jealous of all the good news going on in here. I second this. I'm super jealous and can't wait for January to roll around when most of my programs will start sending out invites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForScience! Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Does anyone know what percentage of interviewees from Mt. Sinai actually end up getting accepted from the first batch of interviews? Or do they just have 1 batch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeee1923 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Invites from Vanderbilt NGP, Utah, OHSU, and Pittsburgh (all neuro) today. Busy day for invites! Congrats - one more left and you have all the interviews! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enhydra Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I second this. I'm super jealous and can't wait for January to roll around when most of my programs will start sending out invites. Add me as a third. Hopefully next month will bring good news for us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mop Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Yes, my interview weekend with them is Jan. 29-31, but I think they separated them by interest and faculty. (mine is neurobiology) There will be 5-6 interview weekends, though research interests are broadly grouped in certain weekends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omoplata Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) University of Oregon Biology sent out some interviews. Interview date is 02/11 - 02/14. Is anyone else getting interviews to institutions for which they spent less time on application materials, while not hearing back from the schools they super polished their SOPs and research histories for?

Is anyone else getting interviews to institutions for which they spent less time on application materials, while not hearing back from the schools they super polished their SOPs and research histories for? Absolutely - but I spent more time on the applications for programs that have a very low acceptance rate/are very competitive, but that's unfortunately pretty much all of mine!

I REALLY love that program and congrats to everyone who got an interview I am so jealous ;_; I haven't heard from them either, and I was actually really pleased with my SOP for UCSD, so I'm a little bumped. I looked at last year's results and some people got interviews really late, like January. Maybe there's still hope?
