Sorry, I don't know about QCB in particular but it seems like they send it out at different times. On the results search someone got an invite to Princeton MolBio on 12/2 while I got mine 12/12.

I think it might depend on which concentration you chose.  I applied to MVP and I'm not giving up hope yet - don't worry!

The CAMB program. I would have liked to go to the first interview weekend but it looks like I'll have to go to an alternate one since I'm already scheduled then

I wouldn't say it's time to move on just yet; they'll definitely take time to send out all the invites.

Haha I was asking which division within CAMB. You could ask if you could be moved weekends I guess, for both schools. It's still pretty early in the game. I had to do that with Dartmouth, and I interviewed on an alternate weekend at University of Michigan.

Does anyone know of Upenn is sending out any more invites for their immunology program? They've been sending them out over the last two weeks...

Oops I applied for a concentration in cancer biology. I have an excel file with all the dates and if the UPenn calendar online is correct they have an admissions weekend 2/23-25 that would fit all my potential schedules. Would it look bad if I asked to do the latest date?

I have just got the invitation to the recruitment weekend from UT Austin Neuroscience via email.

If you're tactful, you could ask about being moved to the other one.

Hi All,

Has anyone received interview invites from West Coast UC schools? It's nerve wracking seeing the interview invites for most UC's go out by mid-Dec during last 2015 season, and it's creeping up. Although nobody has posted in the admissions results page.

 

Cheers!

I got a call from Davis BMCDB last week, he said they would send emails "shortly" but it has been a week now...I was in the middle of a frantic shift at work and initially picked up because I thought it was my mom, so my recollection is not as precise as I want it to be

Thanks Spiffscience. It's hard to concentrate at work. I submitted my applications on the morning of the Dec-1 deadlines, so hopefully that's not going to delay or hurt my chances. Congrats on your current interview invites!

Thanks! I submitted Davis Nov 19th, so I don't think you should be worried at all!!!

Ahh! That is smart on your end, and some good lessons to take on my end.

Thank you for this. Made me laugh while I'm slowly dying on the inside.

Why do people act like this is a big deal? I guess I have a bit more experience with job interviews than most here. If you can't make a date for whatever reason people will work with you. I'm phone interviewing someone on Friday and he had to reschedule due to another phone screen. I didn't take that as a slight at all. If he is good, we will give him an offer (after an on site interview). If he isn't, we won't. Simple as that. A candidate would have to insult the company to me for it to hurt his chances. Like, okay if a person said "I can't do your interview because I have a way better interview at google that day" I might worry that he would rather work at google than my company. But if he said "I'm sorry but I'm busy that day." or "I'm sorry but I already have a prior obligation on that day." I would think nothing of it.

The people dealing with the interview dates are not the ones deciding on your admission anyway.

Looks like U of Oregon neuro has started sending out invites.  My POI told me e-mails will be sent out next week--not sure if everyone gets a call.

Waiting (very patiently) ... Columbia,Sloan Kettering, Weill Cornell, Berkeley?  Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
