<p>I got an email acceptance from WashU DBBS (neuroscience) today!!! I am psyched!!!</p>
<p>that makes 3 acceptances, and 4 more interviews…</p>
<p>@ hamster09</p>
<p>Was not invited for an interview. I think that my low GPA and test scores made the difference. I am extremely strong on the research side (8 years of post-graduation research with 8 publications). I dont know. Did you interview??</p>
<p>Does anyone know the post-interview acceptance rate at Harvard MCB (MCO specifically)?</p>
<p>@Serric</p>
<p>It’s been a while since I PM’d you. I’m not sure if you did receive the message. Did you get it?</p>
<p>@Bernsted: That is potentially good news…I would love to hear from them! I had started to give up hope based upon the fast approaching interview dates, and now I will just have to wonder a little longer! Thanks for the info.</p>
<p>@TP53: sorry to sound negative, but 8 years is too much. if i was on adcom, that would raise a red flag for why you took so long to apply. in other words, seems like there is a commitment issue to have waited for 8 years, even if ur doing research. 2-3 years of research post-grad would be the norm for non-trads…</p>
<p>and btw, harvard bbs’ hard deadline is coming up. don’t know if they already sent out all offers, but might as well wait! gl all!</p>
<p>Wow, you would think research experience and dedication to the profession would outweigh book learnin’. Best of luck to you, TP53 :)</p>
<p>From Harvard BBS admission officer:
Unfortunately, all admissions offers have been made at this point so if you haven’t received a phone call, email and FedEx package already then you have not been admitted to the BBS program.</p>
<p>Have anyone heard back from UMich last interview weekend?? The interview was pretty good…but I’m so worrying that whether I am accepted.</p>
<p>Apparently Rockefeller is not finished? I received an acceptance package today via FedEx.</p>
<p>(Edit)
I’m pretty shocked that this application cycle ended up this way for me. At the risk of sounding arrogant, this is pretty kickass.
Applied: UCLA, UCSF, UCSD, USC, UNC CH, Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, Northwestern, U Chicago, U Penn, Rockefeller, NYU, Weill Cornell, and GSK</p>
<p>Interviews: GSK, Weill Cornell, U Penn
Declined: All others.</p>
<p>Accepted: GSK, Rockefeller.</p>
<p>for all those interviewing on the East coast north of Virginia this weekend: looks like there could be a nor’Easter Friday night into Saturday night…current computer models have this storm comparable in strength to the December nor’easter that dumped 12"+ of snow on most of the same areas.</p>
<p>looks like i might be trapped in baltimore for a while. ah well.</p>

<p>harvard bbs - sound bad… does that also include the international applicants? i haven’t seen any int get an acceptance at gradcafe and they told me couple of days ago, that the replies will come in feb… :S</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>PSH! A dusting!</p>
<p>@caulobacter:</p>
<p>I think I know who you are…</p>
<p>Is anyone getting nervous about interviews on this weekend because of the weather forecasts?</p>
<p>gremot: I am an international student and I heard back from Harvard-BBS in mid Jan.</p>
<p>@oncogene</p>
<p>thanks for sharing… did you do your undergrad in states though?</p>
<p>Whatever the weather will be, it will probably be warmer than Toronto! Haha :)</p>
<p>Princeton Neuro tomorrow anyone? I am so excited.</p>
<p>@ daybyday</p>
<p>I thought by working for a few years and getting some really good experience and publications that it would out weigh my grades and scores. Then my wife started Med school and I sacrificed to put her through. Its my turn now. Will wait and see if USF and Miami give a shout.</p>
<p>Hang in there, TP53geek. </p>
<p>Good luck, safetypin!</p>
<p>Hey, I’m wondering if anyone can tell me the situation in Developmental and Stem Cell Biology @ Duke. Are there many domestic applicants this year? Have they finished interviewing the domestic applicants so far?</p>
