MarA Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Crap! No call here--guess this means I'm not getting an invite to UCSF Tetrad? Has anyone heard from Colorado (MCDB)? It doesn't necessarily mean that you won't get an invite. You know, it takes quite some time for them to make calls to hundreds of applicants right? Good luck!

phh Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hi, I am new here; here are my stats: GPA: 3.94 (4.0 in Biology) [big state school, Honors College] Test Scores: 760 Math (86%) 710 Verbal (98%) 5.0 AW (81%) GRE SUBJECT in Biology=93%, 95% in organismic bio subsection and 95% in ecology and evolution subsection (which is what I am applying for) 1 publication in an undergrad journal a few local undergrad presentations 2.5 years of bioinformatics research experience, 1 year of molecular biology research experience have applied for and received several undergraduate research grants Applying to: Harvard OEB Berkeley IB Yale EEB UChicago Darwinian Sciences Haven't heard anything official yet, although I was able to visit two of the schools unofficially and meet potential professors. This board seems to be an informed bunch... what are my chances of getting into at least one of these schools??? Gosh~ it looks like we have fairly huge overlaps between the programs we are applying, and your stats are much much BETTER than mine. My research interests lies in computational method developement for population genomics. Could you share what your interests are? And where did you visit? Thanks and good luck!

I also applied to the cancer bio program at UMass medical and have not heard anything yet. I have 3 invites so far at Weill Cornell, Dartmouth, and Duke so I am not as panicky about it as I would be if I had no invites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I'm quite certain that USCSF Tetrad isn't finished sending out invitations. I am also intersted in when we will hear from Colorado MCDB. Their first interview weekend is February 4-7th, which means they must notify people soon to make flight arrangements (or so you would think). Where did you find out that their interview weekend is the 4th-7th? I was thinking of e-mailing someone there as I'm a little surprised not to have heard from them, especially since I know now that the recruitment weekend is approaching so quickly. Still no word from UCSF. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nutmeg1284 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Yeah, UCSF hasn't sent anything out for their BMS program as far as I've heard either. The UCSF BMS program has already finished sending out invites, most went out on 12/18 (I know someone currently enrolled there). Unfortunately I did not get one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workingonit Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Has anyone heard from UC Berkeley Neuroscience yet? (No results on the results page.) You'd think that they'd be sending out offers, as the first interview weekend is Feb. 7-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evolve Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) I spoke with a professor today in UC Berkeley's IB dept. He told me they are making interview decisions by Jan 22. Just FYI for anyone applying to that dept. Has anyone else heard from UCSB EEMB? Good luck! Edited January 12, 2010 by evolve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb9931 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I also applied to the cancer bio program at UMass medical and have not heard anything yet. I have 3 invites so far at Weill Cornell, Dartmouth, and Duke so I am not as panicky about it as I would be if I had no invites Well aren't you special....I don't have any interviews. Just kidding congratulations, did you apply MCB at Dartmouth? I also applied to Dartmouth but have not heard anything yet although my 3rd letter of recommendation has been delinquent and is apparently submitting mine tomorrow. Congrats on Cornell and Duke, I did not apply to those but those certainly are impressive interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interview weekend is 2/19-2/20 so there is still plenty of time for them to send out more invites. Good luck! Still haven't heard a peep from the other schools I applied to...the wait is killing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macha Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 hii i'm new here... i was wondering if anyone has heard from Stanford Cancer Bio? i'm also waiting to hear from Rockefeller and Harvard BBS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroNerd86 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I'm actually curious if anybody knows - when Rockefeller accepts the lucky applicants, does the decision come via FedEx or by regular mail? The lengthy list of rejections in the Results database indicates that rejections come as a thin large envelope via USPS... Do they ever communicate with applicants in any other way (email, call etc)?

I was thinking of e-mailing someone there as I'm a little surprised not to have heard from them, especially since I know now that the recruitment weekend is approaching so quickly. Still no word from UCSF. Bummer. I got an email after I submitted my application that gave a list of the three interview dates. If you hear anything from them will you post here? I'm surprised not to have heard from them either - the program is something of a safety school for me (or so I thought).
