Are they done sending invites? My roommate who graduated from this program last year and heavily involved in the admission while he was there told me that they send invites in rounds. They usually invite 70-80 people for interview, accept around 50 while admit around 30 people. I think I saw 4 interview invites from the forum results search (?), I guess you can still be hopeful or give them a call to confirm!
gaattc Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 @Dycka Deshycka actually just a few minutes ago I received an email saying that they are sending interviews throughout this week, and if one is not offered you can switch your app to the masters program. So it looks like there is still an opportunity!
TinyAquarianNinja Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Officially rejected from Berkeley/UCSF. Not entirely surprised after not getting an interview, but still kind of a bummer.
sonnelala Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 @TinyAquarianNinja Same here. Was still hoping maybe I still got chance. I'm considering if I should switch to master programs.
katpillow Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 At least UCSF/Berkeley is up front about the rejections. Drives me nuts when programs just send out interviews and then wait to deal with rejects. DOG_CABIN and Some violinist 2

thaibear Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 JHU's BME PhD Program just sent me an email today announcing that I am invited to a Skype/phone interview (since I'm an international applicant). If anyone has prior experience with JHU's BME PhD interview, please feel free to give me some advice. What kinds of questions do they ask, and what are the chances of being admitted after having an interview? By the way, JHU will host campus interviews for Feb. 7-10 and Feb. 28 - March 3, 2018. Good luck everyone!
bmeupscotty Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Anyone know if JHU sends out interview invites over multiple days or just one? Also, those who got an invite today, do you mind sharing what your research area/specialization is?
TinyAquarianNinja Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Has anyone applied to/heard anything from Northwestern BME? My chances aren’t great because I’ve spoken at length to the PI I’m most interested in and he isn’t taking students right now, but I’m still holding out hope that maybe someone else will take interest...

To answer your question, my research area is biomaterials and tissue engineering. Good luck!

thaibear Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) @bmeupscotty When did GaTech send out their acceptances? (Congratulations by the way.) I haven't heard from them since I applied. Edited January 17, 2018 by thaibear

It also cc'd professors I had mentioned in my application to connect me with them directly, which was nice! On another note, are the emails from UPenn about their student chat driving anyone else crazy? My heart starts pounding whenever I see an email from them before I realize that it's not anything related to an interview!
thaibear Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 @bmeupscotty I'm excited for you! GaTech is one of my top choices Oh! Since you have applied to Oxford's PhD BME Program, feel free to ask me anything. My brother is currently attending that program, and I have received tons of info from him. bmeupscotty 1

Yeah I receive an email from UPenn every week about the student chat, and every time I saw the title I was like OMG is the result out?

I got an interview email from them yesterday. Several of my cohort have not yet gotten responses from them though, so there's a chance they are sending emails out on more than one day. I can ask someone in the office if they know anything about the status of this when I'm there tomorrow. Hopefully there are more to come! TinyAquarianNinja and kangaroomr 2

laveritecestla Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 BTW MIT HST interview emails went out a few minutes ago.
dontor Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 I hate that we don't know when schools send out invites. Like we find out by checking the forums cause we haven't received one and hope they stagger ahhhh Some violinist 1
thaibear Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 POI at UCSD BioE just sent me an email 2 hours ago inviting me to do a Skype interview with him. Some violinist 1
kangaroomr Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Wondering about northwestern as well. Anyone hear from case western or usc?
