So if mid February starts rolling around, then you might as well not wait for the April deadline? Not necessarily. I had friends get interviews that were in March. But past February, your chances really dwindle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier in this application season, I had an excel sheet with all the requirements, deadlines, etc for my programs. Now that interviews are coming out, I added a column with all the interview dates that I know of. Most are posted on their websites. For those that aren't posted online, I used the dates given by some people on here (which may or may not be the same date I receive). For the rest, there's not much I can do but wait for more information. Having at least a few dates written down will help a lot when it comes to choosing between 2 dates for some programs (provided I get interviews at those). goliath 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did you submit your application? If you mean Integrative Molecular and Biomedical Sciences, in the past, interviews came after December 18 or 20 or as late as late January. I'm not sure what they were last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a link to the program: http://www.baylor.edu/biomedical/ I believe this is what you were speaking of; their program structure is a little confusing. I emailed the administrative associate and applications technically aren't due until February; but I submitted it early with the rest of my applications. I wouldn't be surprised if interviews aren't out until January-ish. I'll just have to sit tight! Edited December 10, 2015 by Focus grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant this one: https://www.bcm.edu/education/schools/graduate-school-of-biomedical-sciences/programs/integrative-molecular-and-biomedical-sciences I'm pretty sure the applicant you quoted to ask about their interview applied to Baylor College of Medicine (Houston).

Azia Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 2 hours ago, wafflecat said: Ditto! @wafflecat and @goliath Maybe start by figuring out when their interview weekends were last year? I have 2 interviews out of 10 schools already and I confirmed both because they are both in January. It seems like most interview weekends are February and early March. So it may be worth confirming any January interview offers now. Also, it may not hurt to contact admissions at your top school choices to make sure other interviews don't conflict with theirs, in hopes you get an offer. Good luck! goliath 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrpoopybutthole Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Does interviewing earlier or later affect your chances of acceptance? Do schools set aside a certain number of spots for each interview group or is it more like they fill up whatever spots with the earlier dates and the later dates have a potentially lower chance? goliath 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microburritology Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) @123hardasABC I wish I was half as good at writing. It took me 3 straight hours for the perseverance essay. I almost was about to give up the application solely for the essay as it was 11 pm at night and the essay was the only thing remaining.
