krafael Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 7 hours ago, Some violinist said: @krafael I don't think it'd be any different in terms of timing, or at least, any differences shouldn't be because of being international. No updates here, for what it's worth. I contacted several programs. In fact, the Pitt CNUP program already sent invitations to domestic students today, but the staff said international invitations would be sent until mid-Jan. Some other programs, like BU and Columbia, should send their invitations at the same time. Some violinist and LoveDelta 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BUT going to grad school is still my top choice.) I am not a biology student, so applying to bio-program is really a stretch for me (but I really love Bio, more than Chemistry). The only bio-classes I took are molecular genetics and physiology (General Bio was replaced by AP). However, my research experiences are mostly bio-related. Please comment on my stats, and GOOD LUCK EVERYONE (FOR those of who are having Finals week – GOOD luck with that as well) I think I checked my emails more than 80 times – I really can’t stop.

ChallengerSwimmer23 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 8 hours ago, Miraz said: I think they do have; as I also filled up the secondary application. That was just survey type, with simple questions, like (i) why you are interested in PhD at UTSW? (ii) what type of research are you interested in? (iii) List 5 faculties. Not sure what are their purposes, but I guess, those questions were not in the online application system and they feel to ask again and surveyed, although SOP covers all those questions! Wondering why then everyone didn't receive that email? When did you get that email? I checked my emails to see if I missed it, I didn't get the email. I looked everywhere on the UTSW admissions website and the 2 departments - immunology and cancer biology I applied to. I didn't see anything about a secondary application. Maybe unless they are sending it to people that will be invited to interviews. That's the only thing I could think of. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMUnate Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 13 minutes ago, basketballfrost said: same here Though I'm with you on feeling a bit pressured and anxious that people are hearing back, it is early and everyday more and more schools are sending out invites. Though it's next to impossible, relax and trust in yourself and your application. Good things will come soon enough. (It's helping me that I haven't really seen any of my schools on the results page yet.) _caffeinated and celestial 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StemCellFan Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Indiana University Purdue University IBMG invite. Weekend conflicts with one of my other interviews, so I'm going to see if they can offer an alternate weekend. Still waiting to hear from my top choice! It's still early, I'm sure you will start hearing back in the next couple of weeks! My first application season a few years ago, I didn't hear back from my two interviews until as late as early January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norain Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I'm pretty much useless at work today now that I see someone received an invite to Pitt CNUP...still hopeful though! Looks like from previous years they send out invites over several days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
