SNPCracklePop Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Hi everyone! I received an email back in mid-December explaining that my app was complete, under review, and that I would be notified of my status near the end of December. However, I haven't heard from them since. Curious if anyone else is waiting on PIBS.
NeuroNerd86 Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 are you an international student? If yes, then they will get back to you later. If not, then maybe you should give them a call? Also, check results page for PIBS interviews timeline. They might have some that get notified a bit later. The interview weekends for domestic applicants are Jan 28-30th and Feb 11th-13th if I'm not mistaken. Good luck!
Bryan Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 I'm applying to PIBS with an interest in Pharmacology and immunology, so I don't know if this will be different for you. I'm also a domestic student. But they called me on 12/17. It was unusually early.
NeuroNerd86 Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 @Bryan, I think it is normal for them. From what I saw on this forum and from my personal experience, mid Dec is about the time they usually notify interviewees. I got a call on Dec 18th.
SNPCracklePop Posted January 6, 2010 Author Posted January 6, 2010 Nope, not an international student. Applied with interests in Human Genetics and Microbio/Immuno. Unless Human Genetics is slacking (doubtful), fingers crossed for the wait list or a quick, painless rejection email. Thanks for your help. compbio 1
Serric Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Nope, not an international student. Applied with interests in Human Genetics and Microbio/Immuno. Unless Human Genetics is slacking (doubtful), fingers crossed for the wait list or a quick, painless rejection email. Thanks for your help. Unless they contact you by January 7th, I would assume rejection. They asked interviewees to notify them of faculty preferences/which interview weekend they'd attend by then. compbio 1
Bryan Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 This isn't really related or anything. But SNPCracklePop you have a cool user name. It reminds me: When people ask what I'm applying to, I always tell them it's a totipotent phd program. Sadly no one has laughed.......
SNPCracklePop Posted January 6, 2010 Author Posted January 6, 2010 Ha ha. Thanks Bryan. What's not to like about a totipotent PhD program?!?!? Serric, yeah I'm assuming the worst at this point based on last year's dates. compbio 1
Grad Hopeful Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 As far as I can understand they sent out the official interview invitation email on 12/21. It would be best to contact the office to be sure though.
SNPCracklePop Posted January 7, 2010 Author Posted January 7, 2010 I contacted the office and they told me that they are finalizing their admissions decisions and hope to give everyone answers within the next week or two.
SNPCracklePop Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 Just got the rejection email. No more waiting.
