2016 Applicant Profiles and Admissions Results

[Eigen]

Just tagging in, but I think people are way to quick on this forum to call "troll" when someone posts something at odd with what they've heard/been told. 

As a pre-emptive warning, if the thread devolves into people arguing over who is or is not a troll, I'll shut things down to give everyone a break to chill out.

Whatever makes you feel better - I can assure you I am not the only person who has gotten a phone call with an acceptance. Regardless, I ended up choosing Harvard. 

sigh, this is why Harvard has a rep for snobby students

Anyone hear back from UChicago Cancer Biology? Interviewed there on Jan 28-30th weekend, haven't heard anything back yet. Saw that someone posted in the results section that they got an offer, wanted to confirm if they have already sent out a few/all offers.

Did anyone hear from Harvard PhD in Population Health Sciences - Social and Behavioral Sciences specialization? 

[Sonic16]

I saw in the survey that some have been rejected from Brown neuroscience program, i haven´t heard anything from them yet. Does anybody know if they are still sending interview invitations? at least for international students like me that won't be able to attend on campus interviews?

[thorsenm]

The guy I roomed with at an interview weekend at Dartmouth got told he is on the wait list. I see on the search page that invitations have also been mailed out. I have yet to hear anything. Any thoughts on what this may mean for me?

Just received my unofficial acceptance e-mail to Duke (DSCB).
Apparently the rejections went out a week ago, and they just finished with the acceptances.

I interviewed 1/30 and there are a handful of us that haven't heard back yet either - so don't sweat it Their final interview is this weekend I believe, so we should all hear back Monday 2/29 or 3/7!
