bioconfused Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 So update on Mount Sinai: They dont offer skype interviews as a norm from the last few years. International srudents do fly over. But if its really not possible at all, then they do make accommodations. But its done on a case by case basis. So I guess I'll have to go. I'm excited, but the flights in january are just insanely expensive!! :| almost double, compared to december and february.
Microburritology Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) @bioconfused Really? Fly over for the interview? Are they reimbursing you? Damn, apparently Mt. Sinai has a good deal of research funding! And what about the visas? Experiencing diarrhea is better than a trip to the US embassy in India. All the best dude.

bioconfused Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Well they wont be reimbursing the whole amount. They have an upper limit, I think its around 450 dollars and they said they would reimburse that much. Maybe i can talk to them about increasing the limit, but not by much i assume. I will have to figure out this whole VISA thing. How do I tag people on this?!!! 3 minutes ago, Microburritology said: @bioconfused Really? Fly over for the interview? Are they reimbursing you?

I was offered January 7-8 or 11-12. I applied to Immunology as my top choice and Cancer Biology as second although the email they sent didn't specify any of my picks. No Rick and Morty fans here haha?

Yeah, based on the Survey stuff from previous years (http://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=washington+mcb), looks like we might be hearing back by the end of this week or next week! Also really looking forward for this one.

Microburritology Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 I know. Pretty much all the schools I've applied to seem to start sending out invites beginning Dec. '15. Nervous yet anxious. Just want to get it over with

pali123 Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Why do biology programs respond faster than bioengineering programs? I am getting anxious becauseI will probably only start to hear back early January :/

Neurolit Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Hi everyone, I've been lurking here for a bit. I've also applied this fall but only to my two top-choice phd programs in neuroscience, with the labs I most want to join. I graduated in May and began working as a researcher in a lab at one of two schools I've applied to, and decided that if don't get into one of these schools this year, I'd rather reapply next year a stronger applicant to both and also apply to about six other programs. But hopefully I'll get in this year and that won't be necessary. I've taken a look at the results thread that people have posted above and noticed that my schools last year notified re: interviews in late December and in January. For those of you who have already gotten interview requests, congrats! I hope you'll also post in the results thread so that future applicants will have an idea of when to expect to hear. Azia 1
Bioenchilada Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Apparently, the first Cancer Biology interviews for UChicago started coming out today last year. :X *trigger intensifies*
