kevinrhinoceros Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I also applied to UCSF Tetrad, and it seems like they're doing the same thing as last year where they send them out in waves. There were people hearing from the program as late as mid-January for interviews last year, so I wouldn't be too worried if you haven't heard anything yet. I also highly doubt that only one or two people on this forum got interviews at such a popular program Congrats to those who did, though! I'm hoping at least a few of us will be joining you! desmond.bo, cosiva and hihello742 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was just a dude in the admissions office. Haha. Do you know when MCB is going to start officially sending out interview emails?

I got a general email from DBBS followed by a program specific email. I know someone else also got a washu biochem invite on here the same day as me.....dont know how much that helps. What major you applied to WashU DBBS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeanetics17 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 2 hours ago, Epigenetics said: The question was about UCSF Tetrad though. Look at the post. The original post was about UCSD BMS, which I think the person was hoping would send out January invites. I'm talking about that, UCSF Tetrad, and Sinai. But apparently TETRAD may go out in batches. hihello742 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding Berkeley MCB: I got an email today from an AdCom member inviting me to the interview weekends, saying that " Our recruitment visits are February 12-14 and February 26-28, 2017. Reservations will be made on a first-come, first-serve basis. You will be receiving an e-mail from Sarah Hamilton, a staff member in our Graduate Affairs Office on Tuesday, January 3, 2017 with all the details/information about signing up for a recruitment visit.

meioticmadness Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Hey Everyone! Finally got around to making an account. My list is: UChicago (BMB), Northwestern (IBiS), UCSD, UCSF (TETRAD), UWashington, UMichigan (MCDB), Yale (BBS), and Columbia (Cell and Molecular). So far I've heard back from UChicago (12/12), Northwestern (12/7), UCSF (12/15), UWashington (12/14), and Yale (12/15) with interviews! Has anyone heard anything back from the schools I haven't heard from yet? Thanks, and good luck to everyone! pipette_fever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born-to-pipette Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Anyone happen to know Sloan Kettering's post-interview admission statistics? Also, if anyone has any suggestions for how to NOT freeze in New York/east coast during interview season (california girl here), especially since formal-wear (at least the ones i have) aren't exactly the warmest..... spiffscience 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epigenetics Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I realized I never did my little introduction! I'm applying to: Harvard (Systems Biology), Harvard (BBS), MIT (Biology), Stanford (Biosciences - Genetics), UCSF (TETRAD), UC Berkeley (MCB), and UWashington (Genome Sciences). Already heard from UCSF (12/15), Harvard BBS (12/16), and Berkeley (12/16). Still waiting on the rest. I'm actually a computational biologist in an HMS cancer lab, so if you have any questions about Boston or Harvard PhD programs I'm well-versed, about half my lab is BBS and the other half is Chem Bio. Happy waiting to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my understanding that it's program-by-program, but I'm seeing a couple people have heard from them. Does anyone have intel on this? Thanks! I received an invitation on Friday for the home program I applied to. However, as you said, admissions are home program-based and this is clarified in the email as well. Stanford Biosciences has one single umbrella program interview weekend (March 2-4), but decisions for each respective home program have not all necessarily been finalized yet.
