I don't want to give you false hopes but they might be sending a 2nd round after today - but it's just my speculation.

Do you know when the Immunology and Microbial Pathogenesis program will send out invites/if they already have?
Oompa Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Is Yale BBS-MCGD track done with sending interviews? How about JHU BCMB and UC Boulder?

Hah sorry I am not omniscient, no idea when the invites for other programs are being send but hope you get a positive response soon!

Expand My friend in college who's doing immunology research got an invite from Weill Cornell for the second time slot (Feb.7-9). I didn't check but I believe she applied to immunology programs.
Oompa Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Just FYI, heard back from MIT Biology Coordinator, fingers crossed! Has anyone heard yet? "The department hopes to send invites out by January 8th. These will come by email."

In previous years, they sent out the invites on the Friday of Sat of the first full week of Jan.

I was curious to check how many people the email has been forwarded - it's almost 250. If Weill Cornell is inviting a total of 250 people to the PhD interview session then the competition is really tough ;s Expand On 1/5/2018 at 3:04 PM, JacquelineY said: [Insert grimace] Well, more reason for us to get well prepared.

I applied to neuro and I talked to a friend who's interviewing for pharmacology and got the same email ... so 250 people isn't /that/ scary given that there are 6 departments and according to data I've seen for other neuro programs, each department inviting 40ish people to interview is pretty normal Edited January 6, 2018 by eevee

StemCellFan Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Northwestern DGP rejection for me as well. Their loss and I have other great schools I'm interviewing at. I've heard back from everywhere now! synapticcat 1
Skydram Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Hello everyone, Is no news good news? Do you know if UC San Diego (neuroscience) and UNC-CH (BBSP neuroscience) are done sending invites? Has anyone been rejected? The websites doesn't say anything (I want to know an move on) ... What about (neuroscience major) : Rockefeller Yale Rochester Columbia Einstein UAB Scripps (any rejections?) I notice people got invites today...

gaga1994 Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Does anyone know if MIT Biology is still sending out invites? Or did they release them all yesterday?
jeanetics17 Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Congratulations to anyone who received a Harvard BBS interview. We look forward to meeting you! Some violinist 1

ChallengerSwimmer23 Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Looks like this week more schools are getting back to business. Hang tight everyone...our inbox should be busy this week and next week. I prepping for my first interview to be held later this week. Very excited!

factanonverba Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 What are you guys' thoughts on canceling an interview 3 weeks after accepting the invitation? The school was one of my safeties but was the first one to give me an interview offer, and now I have way too many interviews. The school purchased a non-refundable ticket for me, which I presume I will have to pay for if I cancel the trip? There is no information on this, but I don't want to ask them directly right now because then they will know they are low on my list... alittlecarl 1
