I already emailed them asking about it 30-40 minutes ago, but they haven't gotten back to me yet. I'm presuming they're really busy right now. Would it be obnoxious to also call?

No, they've been super understanding. And if you get your answer, then they can't change it! Also, you could say that you emailed but you didn't want to clog up their responses. Especially if you didn't directly email the home program, they'll probably never know Edited January 5, 2016 by biochemgirl67

Also, on the interview invite for UW said they only have 30 spots to interview, so it's worth calling! Quick question - what does your application status say on the application website now that you have an interview?
HopefulPHD14 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 While everyone is on the topic of calling schools, I responded to interview invites from schools like 2 weeks ago saying I could go (yes I know over Christmas), but haven't heard anything back since responding. I wasnt worried last week since most offices were closed, but now I am concerned that my email got lost or something. Should I contact them again to make sure they got my confirmation or should I just not worry about it and give them more time? What would you guys do? How long should I wait before sending a followup email? I just really want to start scheduling travel and all of that so I can stop worrying about interviews and worry about scheduling haha.

I guess I can wait and call them tomorrow if she doesn't respond by then. Thank you

Immunolog Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) @biochemgirl67 interesting...I just called Stanford immunology and she said they're still finalizing the invite list. Did you specifically ask if youre on the working list or did they tell you that the list is finalized? Edited January 5, 2016 by Immunolog

Look for the number under "program manager". Best of luck! levodopa, Earl and biosci 3

Ferroportin Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 FYI, just called the Stanford Biology home program and they said that invites haven't gone out yet (but should go out soon). Didn't offer to check if I was on the invite list...

There are no results for it for the past two years in the survey and I got an email yesterday which seemed to imply they weren't conducting interviews. Does anyone have any additional info on this program? What did the email say? I emailed them today (for the IDI Ph.D program), and they said that interview invites would be sent out by mid-January.
camel_moo Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Stanford Biomedical Informatics and UCSF iPQB (Ph.D.) are starting to send out interview invites

I sent an email to the IDI PhD program after I got it and they told me the same thing as you. They said the interview would be Feb 8. 4 minutes ago, mythologyking said: Congratulations!
