[geecee92]

@Imores congrats!!! Me too. See you on April 4th!!

[gcfc1989]

Oh no... Did anyone else see on the survey about CSU Stanislaus? I haven't heard... not a good sign.

[SuitCase]

@gcfc1989 I saw it

[GCapplicant7]

Has anyone else not received notification of rejection despite interviews already being given? I had to inquire with University of South Carolina director to find out about rejection, which I thought was rather odd....

[SuitCase]

@GCapplicant7 normally you would receive the rejection on the universal notification day. I think most schools tell you you're not interviewing out of courtesy so that you can evaluate your options.

[Imores]

Cincinnati was great! UC is a much more casual interview than the others and I loved the hospital and clinics there.  I would be really happy to get accepted at that school  It can be a bit exhausting to have 5 30 minute interviews though wow.  Northwestern has 7!!!

@SuitCase I'm actually flying back to Maryland and driving up to New York. It's only 4 hours by car and then I'm driving to Boston after!

[gc21]

@weilongli1 i mailed the director and they replied me with the rejection letter. But my acceptance to public health genetics program is still valid. So i will most surely be joining for mph program in upitt itself and try again for ms gc next fall, which i am sure i will get into. Also i still have interview at slc so i have a chance there as well...........happy

[HettyFan]

Still no news from Pitts, I think they forgot me already~~~~~~

[gc21]

do you anyone in public health genetics program?

[Imores]

I'm going to contact UBC so that I can confirm my rejection and stop using this site, I'll let ppl know if they answer my qs!

[SuitCase]

@Imores why do you want to stop using the site?

[angetry]

Just got my McGill rejection  bummer!

That said, I think it's super interesting to look at the mish mash of responses we've received from schools. Seems as though each admissions committee is looking for something different...I'm as confused as ever!

[Imores]

UBC let me know that they have finished giving out interviews so now I've heard from everyone and don't need to keep refreshing anymore! Best of luck to everyone with their applications and interviews, I'm looking forward to a crazy next two months of school and visiting universities and can't wait for match day

[SuitCase]

U Pitt sent a rejection email 

[SuitCase]

Everyone getting invitations to CSU Stanislaus is killing me

[weilongli1]

@SuitCase I'm in the same boat as you right now! No notification  

[SuitCase]

@weilongli1 at least you have one Cal school, I have none

[gc09621]

Did anyone see that the Augustana program (Sioux Falls, SD) just got accredited? I hadn't even realized they started a program! I guess they were accepting applications until March 1, bummed I missed the deadline

[SuitCase]

@Imores is the UC interview MMIs ?

[Imores]

Its 5 30min interviews, 4 are with staff and one is with a student. Each interviewer sort of has a theme to their questions

[SuitCase]

@Imores did they say how many people there interviewing and how many slots ?

[Imores]

48 people, 12 spots

[HettyFan]

@Imores How do you know NW has 7? 7 what? 7 sections for interview? How could they talk for so long HAHA~Could you be more specified? Does anyone know if these schools would ask any professional questions?

[HettyFan]

@gc21Do you mean you only received one interview from SLC? When did you receive MPH from Pitts and when did you apply for it? Actually, the director in Pitts has redirected my application to Human Genetics...
