So don't worry I think BBS will send out invites next week I didn't apply to BBS... I applied to the immunology program. So that's why I'm mildly concerned.

So it's not entirely inconceivable that other smaller (non BBS) DMS programs are sending out some invites. But I can't comment on the validity of the PiN claim. Someone was saying a few days ago that they know someone on the PiN adcom and that the committee hadn't even met yet when the invite to PiN was posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a little worried because I have applied for UPenn's CAMB program, but it was for the Molecular virology portion. I know other people have received invites but they had different interest areas, I hope that is why I haven't heard back. 11 hours ago, mrpoopybutthole said: Congrats on Yale! Wow that gives me hope that Penn isn't done sending out invites yet if you haven't gotten one. My interest area was Gene Therapy and Vaccines so hopefully that's why as well. 12 hours ago, adiJ said: Also, would anyone know what are the dates for the interviews for Penn CAMB? It's one of my top choices as well, so I'm really regretting accepting the interviews so early. So, on the CAMB website, some of the subgroups list the faculty on their respective admissions comittee, implying that each group might send out invitations separately. (Note: Totally speculative) At any rate, judging from the results page, in previous years interview invites have been reported through January. So no need to worry yet!

aichan93 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 No email..nothing in spam..my GSK account just shows complete.

Good luck! I wouldn't be surprised if they send them out in waves. Don't worry It's still really early in the process. I don't know when Mt Sinai is interviewing but if it helps with planning, I believe GSK's only interviews are Jan 12-14 : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aichan93 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Mt Sinai is 7-8 jan, which I picked, so I'm hoping the other of my top choice would grant me an interview to. GSK and Mt Sinai are my top choices. Historically they send it out over 2 days..will let you know if you got rejected or invite for an interview..what i derived from digging in to the results database Edited December 16, 2015 by aichan93 gyrase 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologize appropriately by saying you didn't have access to your phone and you are sorry for missing their calls. (FYI that's ALL you say... don't blubber.)

Microburritology Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 They're actually taking time to send out the emails, and it would be a slow death for you to wait till then. I'd honestly say keep calling them back till they pick up? Like you know, in 30 mins intervals maybe? 13 minutes ago, apple93 said: Thank you!!
