I've also applied to Rice SSPB but a day before the deadline (December 23rd, 2017). Hoping I hear from them soon! Thanks for letting us know and congrats! Thanks, and best of luck! Maybe see you there in March! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bioPhDhopeful Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Anyone else running into the same issue of having Emory Cancer biology interview date conflict with another interview they said yes too. They said they "might" give skype interviews instead to people who can't make it, but maybe if there were enough people we could ask to attend another GDBBS date.

JacquelineY Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 A graduate student from the cancer biology program at UChicago told me that this year's interview will be from Feb.22 to Feb.24, with (a planned) admission of 6 students out of 18 invites. I don't know as to when they are going to send out the invites, but I'm pretty sure they haven't started yet. Best of luck to anyone applying to the program and fingers crossed as I'm waiting for the news too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just called UNC and now they told me we should hear back by mid-January especially if we are getting an interview.

When I applied to UChicago’s Cancer Biology program, the invites were sent out around Dec. 20th, but these dates are typically not solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they're looking at the possibility of skype interviews, but nothing about an alternate weekend. A little ridiculous that they only have one date when they're contacting applicants later in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secretly I'm too chicken to reach out and ask, but I might send an email because I'm just so curious haha. Invites seem to be coming out very sporadically and at random, so I don't quite know what's going on. Last I saw on the results page, someone got one on the 26th. Last year, someone reported that all interview invites were sent by the 13th of January, with formal rejections sent the following week. Hopefully this helps a bit. This program was one of my top interests, so I'm a bit bummed. And if anyone knows anything more concrete please share! catsareme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUSKYLEO Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Anyone know if NYU Sackler, Penn CAMB microbiology/parasitology/virology, and Tufts Sackler are done sending out invites?

Anyone know if they are done sending out invitations? also do the people that got invitations have to respond by a certain date around this week? any program would be helpful! wondering if there's going to be another wave of invitations...

If I did not get it wrong, weill cornell sent you an invitation for an interview. I wonder if they give you any information whether there will be a second cycle invitations? I thought the interview days held in February, but if it is in the middle of January, maybe I contact them to get information if they are finished sending invitations.

StemCellFan Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I've been trying to solidify my choices for interview dates with one school (I'm hoping they respond soon because only one weekend of the two works for me) and sending information for flight reimbursement to another program coordinator and haven't heard any responses from them. It's possible that everything is moving a little slowly now due to the holidays wrapping up and a lot of coordinators probably have to play catch up. It's also possible that staff may be out sick since there's a nasty and persistent flu going around right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people on the admissions committee and told me that they are still reviewing. Their process is to review in teams of two and if those two cannot determine it goes to a tie-breaker third. Apparently this process isn't done at the same speed for all people on the committee. We still have hope! Applied (11): UM Baltimore, UM College Park, Mt. Sinai, UPENN, Brown, NYU, Penn State Hershey, Georgetown, CUNY, Thomas Jefferson, Drexel Interviews (5/11): UM College Park, Mt. Sinai, Georgetown, Thomas Jefferson, Drexel University Rejected (0/11): Just heard from UPENN NGG directly, the last of the interviews will be going out within a week! hoping for another from my top choice!!
