Asimio Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Congratulations everyone, it is amazing seeing you all "post-war" getting into incredible places.

person5811 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Does anyone know when Stanford Biology home program will send out notifications? It's my last school of the season and I'm ready to be done with the graduate school application process I'm also waiting as well. Hopefully, we'll know by tomorrow since the survey for the interview visit is due today? Good luck! I interviewed for the Biology home program. I got a phone call from a professor a few hours ago. She said I will get an official email in a couple of days. I'm not sure if they have contacted everyone that got in yet. Good luck! ballwera, kimmibeans and insaneinthemembrane 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballwera Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) So I thought pre-interview waiting was bad, but it turns out that post interview waiting is 1000x worse.

person5811 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 What did people think of Stanford in general? And of Biology if that was your home program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insaneinthemembrane Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 What did people think of Stanford in general? And of Biology if that was your home program? I really enjoyed everything they had to offer. I interviewed for Immunology and I think they really had a strong showing. I got a lot of opportunities to meet with faculty members and students across all years (one of the few schools where I met 6th years). Faculty there are really great, there seems to be alot of collaboration across the department and across Stanford as well. Most people I asked only had good things to say about it and when I asked what the worst thing about it was, someone said that it's sometimes pretty difficult to get ahold of PI's because they're often quite busy giving talks person5811 and tito balisimo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dedi Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Even though I haven't been a huge part of this thread (I created it, though...), I wanted to say thanks for the laughs while I lurk on here. I've gotten two offers of admission today. I'm leaning more towards one than the other simply because I'm more familiar with the program, but I'm going to give the other program a fair shot and am asking questions to the POI there. kimmibeans, tito balisimo, elkheart and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImmunoXX Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I didn't interview, but I just got an email from a program that I was on a "short" waitlist. I then did a phone interview that lasted 8 min with a program coordinator. Is that too short of a phone interview to get my hopes up. I had no prep time, it was a couple of minutes after I emailed back that I was interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jalish Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Is anyone here still waiting to hear a final yes/ no from Columbia Medical Integrated Program? Through this thread, I came to learn that people who have already been offered a place have to notify their decision by March 15. Since I didn't hear back yet, the safest assumption that I can make is that I have been waitlisted. But honestly I am kind of giving up. It's just been way too long.

I feel like I'm coming down to either UChicago, Stanford, Cornell and UW. I would love to make my decision by next week but let's see how realistic of a goal that is. It's really strange because 3/4 are outside NYC which I thought I didn't want to leave but it's funny how life works I guess tito balisimo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velli Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Thanks! I feel like I'm coming down to either UChicago, Stanford, Cornell and UW.

It's really strange because 3/4 are outside NYC which I thought I didn't want to leave but it's funny how life works I guess That same thing happened to me. I'm from the bay and Stanford was my dream school, but I'm taking the plunge and going to the opposite coast. Looks like you've got a tough choice to make. It'll be interesting to see what you choose with those options. Do you have favorites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually everybody in every single program has until April 15th to notify, although most programs ask people to kindly tell them as soon as possible. I rejected my offer to Columbia's integrated program today, so maybe that spot will be for you! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only schools that are part of the CGS have the April 15th deadline. Most schools are indeed part of the CGS, but one of mine wasn't (OHSU).
