I got an email interview invite from the specific umbrella program director (Stem Cell/Regen Medicine) before the New Year and he explicitly said, and I quote: "The 14 Home Program Admissions Committees all operate on their own timelines, so your friends and coworkers may or may not have heard from another Biosciences Program.

cancergirl Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 1 hour ago, nile red said: It is still early! Additionally, if you really are worried, there are a few nice programs that are still accepting applications (obv. I don't know where you've applied lol). Baylor's app is free and is extended to Jan 9th. I applied to upenn, emory, uva, Drexel, Thomas Jefferson, penn state Hershey, vcu, Rutgers, temple, roswell park. lol, I'm not going to lie some my LOR just submitted the last one to some just a few days ago. but I'm more worried about the ones that were completed in December.
