So after doing the interview weekends, I have sent thank you note to the different interviewers and others that I have met.  I try to personalize each one, in hopes that it doesn't look as if I am using a template.  Anyway, when they email back it's a really short message.  Should I be concerned?

They're busy people -- I didn't get responses from everyone I emailed. A short reply sounds like they want you to know that they did read your email.

If they are anything like my PIs, you're lucky you even got a return e-mail. They each get a thousand or so e-mails a week.

Yeah I didn't get a response from any that I emailed.

Some of the PI's I've emailed have gotten back to me, some haven't. I don't think it has anything to do with standing in the program as Pastel said. It's just how available they are.

The acceptance went straight to my junk mail, so watch out guys! 

 

 

Seconding this--I had an acceptance and an interview request land in the junk mail folder.

Just got an email from a school saying that they have made their admissions decisions and want to talk to me on the phone tomorrow to discuss the decision. I can't decide whether they are calling to reject me or to accept me...?

I can't imagine there would be much to discuss about a rejection... My guess would be an admit or a wait list, but who knows.

Let us know how it goes! I just got accepted there and they didn't tell me they were going to call beforehand - perhaps they notify people differently in the neuroscience program?

Has anyone heard back yet from Michigan Cancer Biology (part of PIBS). I know that they results search has a few results, but 4 people didn't list their program.  :wacko:
