kokobanana Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 So just to be clear, Harvard's programs send out their invites individually, and they don't communicate with each other (so your acceptance in one program won't affect a decision in a different program). And please don't call them if you haven't heard anything yet - they are SWAMPED with calls and emails right now and working really hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immuno91 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I think historically Harvard Immunology, Virology, and Neuroscience (and apparently SBHT?) interview on the same weekend. I'm not sure if that will be the case this year because at least one of those programs is interviewing MLK weekend (which is early-ish). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No because someone posted that Kathy got back to them saying they are still sending out invites. I don't want to bug them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the program. Some Like UPENN CAMB have very high acceptance rates post interview. Others like Michigan PIBS is significantly lower.

She has given me three options (Jan 12-14/Jan26-28/Feb 9-11) for interview, but I think I will most likely to attend the first one on Jan 12-14.

I remember when I got accepted to Michigan PIBS they wanted a class size of like 60-70 but they interviewed over 200 of us (I think it was like 230.... there were A LOT of us at the interview). Some schools like PENN are transparent as to their post-interview acceptance rates. The PENN CAMB interviews seem more like a sanity check than a tough interview based on their numbers. For each program it fluctuates year to year based on how many total students they have/how many graduate etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sshresth12 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 The Rutgers deadline says 12/1 for MS in Statistics. Does this mean 1 December 2016 or 12 January 2017? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all people accepted attend. There is no way they are accepting 200 students. It was probably close to 140/150 and they assumed half would accept.
