<p>has anyone heard anything from NYU neural sceince?
i know their interviews start in feb and they did say they are in the midst of apps reviews, but i’m curious…</p>
<p>@ngsfan
I applied to BC biology (computational) I haven’t heard anything from them yet.</p>
<p>I haven’t heard anything from a couple of programs and I dont know if they just start the review process late, but I still am waiting on Tulane, BC, and Georgia Tech.</p>
<p>@CompuBio
I am interested in Marth lab and developing sequence assembly algorithms. What about you?</p>
<p>@ ngsfan
Thats funny because I am also interested in the Marth Lab but in identifying SNPs.</p>
<p>@CompuBio
Hmm…
What is the chance he is going to take in two students in a year?</p>
<p>Thanks everyone. I spoke to the faculty member and she said she spoke with admissions and that her hands are tied at this point. She also said she knew there were a decent number of students ahead of me on the waiting list. I think I might email another prospective faculty member and see what they can do, but for the most part I really feel SOL on this. If Stanford and UCSD were closer, I think I might have been able to split the weekend, but that doesn’t look possible. In situations like this, I really don’t understand why they wouldn’t attempt a phone interview. I guess their program is just too popular. C’est la vie.</p>
<p>I don’t understand why they won’t let you interview at some other time. I mean, I know it must depend on the program, but if I couldn’t reschedule interviews, I’m not sure what I’d do. I mean, you’re not exactly asking them to hold all of the fancy interview-weekend-extravaganza events just for you! Anyway, that totally bites :(</p>

<p>I dont know i also mentioned the Clote lab on my application. I just want to start hearing hard yes/no’s already.</p>
<p>Hey guys, did anyone hear anything from U at Buffalo?</p>
<p>@Immunol I received an informal email saying basically that I was overqualified and that they were not a backup school. I guess it is fair tho…</p>
<p>@pharmnerd</p>
<p>Wow, that’s kind of harsh, though! I applied to a couple programs I feel overqualified for, but it’s because I really want to get my PhD. I’m not going to make the mistake of just applying to the top programs; I feel <em>under</em>qualified for those …</p>
<p>@Immunol </p>
<p>I applied to UBuffalo’s affiliated program at RPCI and heard from them last week. Recruitment weekend is Mar 3-5.</p>
<p>@ngsfan</p>
<p>I applied to BU Bioinformatics and have not heard back. I saw one post on Gradcafe that someone was direct admitted with IGERT fellowship though.</p>
<p>I don’t think I’ve seen it mentioned here, but did anyone else apply to Dartmouth PEMM?</p>
<p>Rockefeller is still sending out acceptances!</p>
<p>@ pharmnerd
Yeah, “wow”!</p>
<p>@ Imm2010
Do you know if they are done sending interview invitations?</p>
<p>@ DeisGrad
Great! Did you get invited or you heard from them?</p>
<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I just found these forums, and I wish I would have seen them sooner!</p>
<p>I was wondering if someone could give me the low down on some of the programs I’ve applied to. So far, I have been accepted to Harvard BBS, and I have interviews at the following:</p>
<p>Yale - BBS/MGCD
Johns Hopkins - CMDB (and also the NIH GPP; what should I do about these two?)
University of Pittsburgh - Interdisciplinary Biomedical program
UPenn - CAMB
UNC Chapel Hill - BBS
Carnegie Mellon University - Biology and Biomedical Engineering</p>
<p>I have not heard from the following:</p>
<p>MIT Biology
Caltech Biology
Virginia Tech/Wake Forest - Biomedical engineering (degree is conferred by VT, but I want to do research at WFIRM)
Stanford Biosciences
Berkeley - Molecular Biology (I know these interviews were already sent out)</p>
<p>If anyone knows whether these programs have sent out interviews or are done sending them out, I’d greatly appreciate the information.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>@Immunol</p>
<p>Received an invite via snail mail today</p>
<p>@ender776</p>
<p>I bet MIT Biology is done… the date to RSVP to their interview invites (with dates extending into March) was ages ago.</p>
<p>Stanford Biosciences has been sending out invites but it seems different home programs may send out invites at different times</p>
<p>@mbr484 I did… haven’t heard back from them yet, i wish they reply earlier cause im booked all the way til mid march…</p>
<p>Just got an email invitation from the Scripps Research Institute (Biology track). I was getting worried I’d applied to too few of schools. </p>
<p>Interviews so far:
Berkeley MCB
UCSD BMS
Scripps Biology</p>
<p>Silent treatment:
UCSF Tetrad (no hope)
Stanford Biosciences (Genetics… still holding out a shred of hope)</p>
