If you have schools you are still waiting to hear about and they are of higher interest to you, I think it is fair to contact an admin to find out 1. if results will be available prior to the 30th and/or when possible interview dates are since you are very interested in their program and are trying to avoid scheduling another interview but have received offers. If this is your top pick then say yes. Schools know 1. who their competition is and 2. when their competition interviews. Infinito 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But real talk: Can all of us on Grad Cafe sign a petition so that all Council of Graduate Schools institutions do a thing like match day for med students? Like they all tell us when we are admitted on the same day (so they have to figure the apps out by then), and then to bid for dates each year (so that they don't conflict)? Arggg.

I feel that would just make decisions come out later, although all at the same time. Idk if that's preferable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biochemgirl67 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Argggh has anyone who got a UCSF BMS invite had immunology as a top track? I'm kind of sad now. EDIT: Someone on the survey did. Now actually really sad. Oh well, fingers crossed for Harvard on Sunday!

No I didn't put immunology as a top track. I got the email pretty late today (~7pm PST), so maybe they will continue sending out invites tomorrow!

As I posted before, my friend told me his former UCSF PI said BMS invites would come out Dec 18th. The PI is in immuno so maybe, immuno invites are coming out a bit later? jaesango 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farafeelo Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 does anyone know if you are interviewing for 2 programs at the same school ... do you just go visit the school twice or do you they perhaps let you interview with both programs in one weekend?

I think you'd go twice. Probably don't have time to interview at two programs in the same weekend and they probably have different dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
