BiochemMom Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I know UNC BBSP had their first interview weekend Jan 22-24 and people posted acceptances on the survey as soon as Jan 27. Ahhh my interview weekend there starts tomorrow and I'm going to be a wreck all next week since I saw that correlation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The application game is over, now the fun begins Best wishes to everyone, I'm rooting for you! Congrats! Excellent program! One of the people I research with (not my PI but a collaborator) did his post doc with Judith Kimble there (and two of my committee members did their PhD in her lab). He speaks so highly of his time there and her lab--plus she has HHMI funding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovelab Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I heard back within two days from Emory - I think the smaller programs have a faster turn-around time. Depends on the program. Arizona's ABBS is a very large umbrella program. One of the undergrads in my lab heard back the monday after interview weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually from Wisconsin (family is all badgers!) what is the funding like at Madison? I just heard the governor is slashing funding for the UW system so I'm curious how they are working around it. But Madison is an AMAAAAZING program I'm so happy for you!

Madison is going to loose 300 Million over the next 2 years (unless I'm mistaken). Hopefully the programs have NIH Training grants they can put students on.

Felixjuggler Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Got accepted by Northwestern University DGP yesterday!!! It was a long journey to admission and as an international student it will certainly be an amazing experience!! First of my family to get an higher degree in the USA, I really hope to do the best I can!! It is a good program either for funding and research options so I can't be more happier!! Now, the bureaucracy time begins, as well as adapting to a new country! Hope you all get in your favourite school, hard work always pays back! expandyourmind, NSG-mdx, beyoncepadthai and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yolk Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) AHHHH CONGRATS yolk!! Do you still have interviews to go to? I'm in the same boat, but I have four more interviews to endure and I'm not sure what to do about that. I have two more, one of the programs being back at UW Madison. You're having a heck of an application season. Have you made travel arrangements for all your remaining interviews? Hey Yolk! CONGRATS! I'm actually from Wisconsin (family is all badgers!) what is the funding like at Madison? I just heard the governor is slashing funding for the UW system so I'm curious how they are working around it. But Madison is an AMAAAAZING program I'm so happy for you! Thanks! Yes the UW system (a dozen schools!) is indeed facing proposed budget cuts in the next two years. I've been trying to inform myself, reading and asking questions. Madison receives funding almost exclusively from the federal government, perhaps research will go unabated? If I accept I will receive a two year NIH training grant, whew. But I can't help think cutting money will bruise the entire system. Everyone will feel the ache. I really need to learn more and how it could affect me as a graduate student, the next half decade of my life.

I'm not sure if funding for grad student's will take to big of a hit. If anything, I'd hope a threat of funding loss would get rid of the administrative bloat.

Have you made travel arrangements for all your remaining interviews? Yeah, plane tickets have already been bought, so I suppose I'm going to all of them. I know that canceling at this stage of the game is frowned upon, but I feel slimy pretending to be available. I had no idea my season was going to be like this. If I had to do it all over again, I'm not sure if I would do it differently. It's just that I had one school that I was most interested in, followed by a bunch of schools that were tied for second place. I had to accept those invites because of the possibility of getting rejected from my top choice -- but that didn't happen, and for as much as I did to secure my options for the unfavorable outcome, I didn't spend any time thinking about what I would do if things actually went my way. Did you accept the offer from UW Madison or are you holding off until you're done interviewing? Edited February 12, 2015 by pasteltomato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cuts will come from the little people first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkheart Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Midway through the interview process - dying to hear back from schools! Might hear something as soon as today. With no official offers from anywhere there is still the creeping thought that I won't actually go to grad school. Come on, first offer.
