I will be interviewing at UVA BIMS on January 5th! Anyone know whether or not UVA has a relatively high post-interview acceptance rate?

I am interviewing at UVA BIMS as well, but on January 12th. Their email made it sound as though they accept a small percentage of their interviewees, but I heard from some people who applied and got in last year but did not attend that most everyone they met at interview weekends did get in. IDK how accurate that is.

Also, I heard from U Chicago Genetics, Genomics, and Systems Bio by email on Friday and UCSD BMS by phone earlier today. UCSD BMS interview weekend: 2/2-2/5

It seems like a lot of the schools that have released the majority of their invites are on the East coast thus far, right?  I'm waiting for West coast programs...

- USC : PIBBS
- USC : NGP
- UCSF : BMS
- Stanford : BioSciences
- UW : MCB

 I have not heard anything from the programs I have applied to yet and I feel slightly sick to my stomach. And hearing that everyone else has been getting invites from their schools has me really nervous

I just checked my UW MCB application and it says - the program is anticipating making decisions by end of February which is fine but what about interviews? Decisions are interviews at this point no one cares about final decisions..

I think someone else said UCSF BMS is tomorrow! USC PIBBs sent (some?) interviews out a few days ago. Not sure if theres more to come though or if you didn't hear on Friday to assume you won't get an invitation.

Just got the interview invitation from CU Denver Anschutz for cancer bio!

[LadyScientist]

@Katyya I believe I saw that on the application portal as well... That has to mean that invites will be out soon! ... If they haven't been sent out already  

@pepmochaa Yeah I think I saw one or two PIBBS invites on here thus far but I find it hard to believe that would be it for invites  Or maybe I am just dreaming.

Same boat as you :/ I was thinking about emailing them in a few days just to see. I hate how schools don't just email you a rejection if you're not selected to interview. >:(

Congrats!  I was just wondering when they were going to start the interview invites.

I called the program admin, but they never answered. And then the email came so! I hope your program comes out soon!

Right?? If I really don't stand a chance I wish they would just send the rejection letter so I can put a bandaid on my ego and focus on something else... Being in a holding pattern for a decision is driving me crazy!

Congratulations! Is that separate from the biomedical sciences program? I remember being slightly confused by the website... I think cancer bio was within the BSP, but they admit/interview department-committed & uncommitted umbrella students separately?

It sounds like that's what happens. And looking at other posts about CU Denver/Anschutz, it seems like the program admin for admissions is also slightly different.

Don't expect anything from stanford biomedical informatics until january 5th or 6th. To our knowledge nobody has heard from Harvard BIG but I'm hoping it will be in the coming few days.

Wouldn't that be nice?  My blood pressure sky rockets every time my email alert goes off.

I know the feel. I'm having some legit anxiety today

Just got an email from UIUC MCB (mini heart attack) saying decisions will be made mid-to-late January for domestic applicants and February for international. 

[suavesana]

Has anyone heard from Emory PBEE? Why does waiting suck so muchhh

[BasicBinImmunology]

Is it safe to say that Sloan Kettering BMS is done sending out invites? It seems like everyone who has posted their results were notified on the 15th.

Email from MIT......to say seasonal greetings.....

[Browncoat5871]

Just got an invite from Rutgers GSBS for their I^3 program.  I would be excited if I had applied to that program and not the CBNP program.
