Edotdl Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Did any of the JHU BME people receive confirmation for which interview date they are attending? I never got a response but they are asking us to book the travel arrangements ASAP.
aksiksi Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 MIT EECS decisions will be made throughout February. If you don't receive anything by the end of Feb, assume rejection.

In her email, she said she got most of her information (like departure and arrival) from Dr. Hong Lan (the administrative director). She booked my ticket for Feb 3-5, which was what I wanted. Just email her saying you need to book your flight from whichever airport is closest to you to Baltimore. She will do the rest on her end. It wouldn't hurt to list the dates you are interviewing just in case.

You might not have received confirmation (our program coordinator is still overwhelmed by emails). I will be sending an email later today for all interviewees with more details and information. The first weekend students might have received an email confirmation. We're holding off on some information for the second week students because we're prioritizing the first week. If you're concerned, message me directly to ask? I can check for you. Jelly 1

aegis921 Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 For the JHU interviews: I replied to the invitation email to confirm my attendance and preferred weekend. Were we supposed to contact anybody else? The email was a little vague. I did fill out the online faculty preference form.
aegis921 Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Just received an invitation to interview for the HST MEMP program

Nallapar Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 Got an interview today from UCLA BioE/ Cedars Sinai professor.
Extra Espresso Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 @Dr_Patel I recognize that signature format! Super congratulations on the two acceptances already!!

You should have received an email from me today going over everything you have been required to do thus far along with an additional survey. If you still have any questions or concerns, reply to that email and I can clarify as much as I can. If you did not receive my email but did receive an interview invite, that's a mistake on my part and message me on here with your name and email and I'll fix that aegis921 1

Now just to ace the MIT and JHU interviews. Best of luck to you as well!
Nallapar Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 Stupid question: how do you create a signature?
7-11 Coffee Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Go to your account settings and pick the signature tab.

Do you know if they have multiple waves of acceptances? I got my official acceptance to UT Austin BME yesterday, but was aware I was going to be admitted for awhile. Two professors have been contacting me, so they basically told me I was going to be accepted. I am not sure if they have multiple waves of acceptances. Their recruitment weekend is March 2-4, and they want me to RSVP by February 3rd. I would expect them to have all acceptances out before the end of January, but that may or may not be the case. Check your UT admission page (https://utdirect.utexas.edu/apps/adm/mystatus/) to see if they have posted anything there.

Do you know if yesterday is the first date for them to send out admissions? Thanks.

It was honestly not really an interview; they talked to me about their research and why I would be a good fit. I received the official acceptance letter yesterday (Jan 20th). I am not sure if they have rolling admissions or not. I would email the professor that interviewed you and politely inquire about the state of your application if you are worried. Since they want us to RSVP for their admitted students day by Feb 3rd, I would expect most (if not all) acceptances to be out by that date.
pterosaur Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Just submitted my last application, so now it's all a waiting game!
martinskye Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Has anybody heard anything from UNC/NCSU Biomedical Engineering?

I got my acceptance letter January 13th. Their admitted students day is February 18-19, and the RSVP already passed. I would contact them since it seemed like they were done with the admission process from their letter.
