When did you submit your application? Hey Focus, I submitted my app pretty close to midnight December 1st. Good luck! I'm sure you'll hear from them soon!

Based on your previous posts, it looks like your stats are very similar to mine, in many aspects (GPA, GRE, amount of research completed, my undergrad bio program is not highly ranked). Plus I didn't even take the subject GRE, and you got a great score. What I'm trying to say is, don't stress! you got this! It's still so early. biosci 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SynBioGuy Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I did not expect so many people to apply to WUSTL DBBS. @biscy @biosci what was your first choice/option within the DBBS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi guys, Penn CAMB will most likely be sending out most interview invites in the next two weeks (I got mine on December 15 last year) - hopefully that takes some pressure off. I'm not sure who is on the adcom this year, so I can't give the exact date. I'm planning to be involved in recruitment, so I hope to see some of you here!

blinchik Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 It's really rare to have a program of that caliber (especially for infectious diseases, which is what I'm interested in) with such all-around nice and honest people. I definitely do not have buyer's remorse. Given your profile, I'm positive you'll be getting an interview invite - don't worry Bioenchilada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking through your list from last year, do you remember around what time you got your interview invitations for UAB and UNC? If the exact interview weekend dates aren't listed on their websites would it be ok to email and ask? I'm trying not to shoot myself in the foot by committing to one weekend and potentially missing out on other schools that share the same dates.

goliath Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 If anyone has advice on how to coordinate interview schedules that would be great. I got my first interview invite this week and am hesitant to commit to a date because I'm still waiting to hear back from 8 other programs.

I applied to WUSTL partially because they don't charge lol. But no really, in my field of interest they are tip top and I have doubts applying to such a top program (especially since their essays were a lot of work).

I'm trying not to shoot myself in the foot by committing to one weekend and potentially missing out on other schools that share the same dates. I got like almost all of my 6 interview invites the week of December 15-21 (?) last year, and some even on the same day. UAB was about a week later I think, but still definitely before the end of December. Great username, by the way Edit because I forgot part of your question: Absolutely, email and ask - it shows interest in the program and that you're taking initiative to be able to go to interview weekends. I absolutely did. Edited December 10, 2015 by blinchik mrpoopybutthole 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
