Anyone who got interview from Harvard Biostatistics?

[Koizumi]

I am applying to this program and I saw someone posted an interview. Is there anyone else?

Hi, I'm the one who posted on the results page. The email said that fifteen students were being invited to this particular interview weekend. It was unclear whether there are multiple such weekends or not. I hope this helps.

I think if you haven't heard anything yet, then there's no reason to lose hope - no news is good news, right? Like I said, there could be multiple interview weekends. I know that within their Biostat dept there are groups concentrating on different types of research, so who they select may be somewhat dependent on what area of research the person wants to pursue. Try to stay positive; I know I'm trying not to worry about the programs I haven't heard from.

A little about me: I'm currently in a Statistics MA program. My GREs were V580/Q800/AW5.5.

No, I did not apply to the statistics program at Harvard. At the time I don't think I was aware I could apply to both programs.

depends on the university...

I can tell you that Harvard's program interviewed 20 (domestic) students.

I'm not sure about other programs, but like Koizumi said, I'm sure it depends on the program.
