Thanks!

Good luck!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are envolved with CAPRICORN, though, a cross-instituation research initiative for biomedical informatics and they are beefing up their computational chops are Northwestern. Haha.

Also I was confused about the policy... A flight to NYC costs only ~200 within the required arrival time but a red flag saying "out of policy"...

AGradStudentHasNoName Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) 40 minutes ago, Oddich55 said: Let us know This is in regards to Stanford BMI interview. My friend says that in her year they interviewed about 20 and accepted about 10, most of whom enrolled. She said that most of her interviews they accepted most of the applicants, but not at Stanford. So that is something to keep in mind. She says the interview with the reputation for being the hardest is an interview with 2 current students. So it's not over yet. Have to take it seriously.

bioinformaticsGirl Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Does anyone know when we hear back from MIT HST? Since the HST and Stanford BMI interviews overlap, is anyone waiting to hear back from HST before accepting Stanford's invite? @AGradStudentHasNoName @Oddich55 @eagb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the HST and Stanford BMI interviews overlap, is anyone waiting to hear back from HST before accepting Stanford's invite? @AGradStudentHasNoName @Oddich55 @eagb Historical evidence from thegradcafe survey says January 20th-27th is when they have sent out invites. I assume it will be similar this year. I haven't gotten the official email from stanford yet so I don't know when they want to know by, but I bet it is before the 20th. I have a sneaky suspicion that they do this on purpose to find out which one you really want? But it is tricky. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush as they say. I'm just ecstatic that I got the Stanford invite right now. I hadn't really considered the HST conflict... In the hypothetical world in which I get an HST invite, I would probably clone myself or invent time traveling technology to attend both, perhaps hire a look alike and coach him for a month.... But really, that is tough. Very very very tough. At the same time, I would LOVE to have that hard decision to make. *drools*. jmillar and bioinformaticsGirl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, have international students received phone calls as well? They will send out emails next week. International students - I have no idea. We got calls yesterday, but we are domestic.
