<p>Attending: WashU (also seriously considered UT Southwestern and Johns Hopkins)</p>
<p>If you’re attending WashU next year, PM me if you want. :)</p>
<p>Kinase,</p>
<p>Give them a call. They said they mailed me my decision letter (read: rejection) a few weeks ago but it never arrived so they just emailed it to me.</p>
<p>Anyone applied/has heard anything to/from MVM Baylor College of Medicine?</p>
<p>My final update:</p>
<p>Applied: UCLA, UCSD, UCSF, USC, UNC CH Wake Forest, U Penn, Vanderbilt, U Chicago, Northwestern, NYU, Sloan Kettering, Weill Cornell, Rockefeller</p>
<p>I was offered an interview everywhere I applied, but I only attended the following three.
Sloan Kettering, Weill Cornell, U Penn,</p>
<p>Acceptances: Sloan kettering, Rockefeller, U Penn
Withdraw: I am withdrawing from Cornell regardless of their decision. Great school, I just like Sloan Kettering better.</p>
<p>Attending: I clicked the official button today! Sloan Kettering (No surprise I guess haha. Good luck to everyone on their upcoming interviews, and good luck to those who are in decision mode.</p>
<p>mysillyself:
interviewed for UCI in Jan and was accepted Feb 1st i think. and interviewed last week for UCLA ACCESS and they said the committee would meet next week.</p>
<p>final update</p>
<p>interviewed at: Weill Cornell, Columbia, UPenn, Mount Sinai
Accepted at all.
Attending: Columbia!!!</p>
<p>Through all of the application and interview process there have been repeated questions about when schools send out interview invites, decisions of acceptance and rejection or if schools ever send you notification of rejection. In addition, I have seen the stress that many of you applicants have about whether interview weekends are purely for recruitment or just another step in narrowing down the field before acceptances are made.
Although schools may change what they do from year to year, it would still be helpful to those next year if you could write something about each school to which you applied.
School/program to which you applied
Date interview invitation was sent
When the interview weekends were
Any info you were told about the numbers interviewing and the numbers the school would be accepting
Date acceptance or rejection was sent</p>
<p>My final update:</p>
<p>Rejected: OHSU, UW-Seattle, UofM-Ann arbor (all neuroscience)</p>
<p>Declined Interview Invitation: Tulane-Neuroscience</p>
<p>Interviewed/Accepted and Attending: Wayne State University-Translational Neuroscience Program</p>
<p>Never heard anything from Harvard, but I didn’t much expect to :)</p>
<p>@scoutmom, </p>
<p>thegradcafe is a much better place to track that, if you search the admissions results you can easily see when the different schools and their departments send out invitations, rejections, and acceptances.</p>
<p>GradCafe is a forum which is much less used than college confidential. Also GradCafe does not show all the parameters I enumerated.<br>
Where does it say that Caltech Bio will only accept 18 students this year with an aim of a class of 7-9? Where does it say that they will not send any acceptances until after the final interview sessions?
Also the applicants on GradCafe only infrequently list when all the interview weekend are.</p>
<p>gradcafe allows all of that and in fact people use it for exactly those purposes.</p>
<p>Just got accepted to Einstein!!</p>
<p>UC Davis Neuroscience acceptance! Very quick turn around - finished interviewing Wed evening, they met Thurs and emailed late last night. Still have the UCLA interview and waiting for Berkeley to do their 2nd interview weekend and make decisions.</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone with acceptances!! Way to go in this extremely competitive year!!! It almost feels like we made it against all odds, to those of you who haven’t heard yet: good luck!!! I hope you get in!</p>
<p>@scoutmom</p>
<p>If you really want to know all that, you are going to have to do the same thing everyone else does on here: use the search option.</p>
<p>I don’t think you get that I do not need to know this. Those applying next year will ask the same questions as students asked this year and show the same stress. They will do the searches and will find answers to some of their questions, but very little as pertains to actual acceptance rates. Many programs tell those interviewed these stats. Also the stats from program to program within a school vary incredibly and knowing the overall stats for a school is worthless.
I thought that some of the applicants for this year might want to share all the info I listed so as to aid applicants next year without having them do endless searches. No matter, I will post any info I garnish about the application process at certain schools on the 2011 Official Biosciences Interviews and Results.</p>
<p>Acceptance to UChicago’s Neuro Cluster Program (interested in Computational Neuro) - yay! Right now second choice… so it is nice. It was like one of my top choices if not the top, when I first applied, so it feels good!</p>
<p>Brandeis has amazing faculty, too bad I’m not too into their program (and location). But it is funny, faculty here match my interests more than many other programs (if not all other programs, really). Even though it is so small.</p>
<p>Scoutmom is correct that the information would be helpful for next year’s applicants. Unfortunately, there are several obstacles to that, including a tendency for CCers to move on once they make their decisions and the sprawling discussion board format. Thegradcafe does have some information in its search results (and the format is easier to access), but it doesn’t supply enough details to be truly helpful. Plus, the community there is not nearly as active as CC’s. Next year’s applicants will have to read through all 158+ pages to get a good sense of results, interview timing, acceptance rates, etc.</p>
<p>I’m sure everyone here would have liked consolidated information during the process.</p>
<p>@safetypin00</p>
