<p>Fishy333- I applied to Stanford Cancer Bio as well and haven’t heard back yet.</p>
<p>I also applied Stanford Cancer Bio, no word yet.</p>
<p>TWO - husband applied to stanford immuno; no word yet.</p>
<p>Huh. I am waiting for Stanford Cancer Bio too.</p>
<p>Stanford Neuro hasn’t contacted me, although I’m sure it’s different for different departments.</p>
<p>Janeeyre</p>
<p>When did you get interview offer? and when will be the interview date? Thanks.</p>
<p>Just got an interview invitation from MIT (Microbiology). </p>
<p>Interviews: MIT (Microbiology), Harvard (Systems Biology), Berkeley (MCB), and UCSD (Biology)
Accepted: Harvard (BBS)
Waiting on: UCSF (iPQB)</p>
<p>Wow, kupolu- congrats on all your amazing options! </p>
<p>I remember you had some info about Stanford Biosciences from your PI a while ago- do you have any word for all of us (see above) who are waiting to hear?</p>
<p>I don’t have any additional info about when the decisions will be sent out, sorry. I just know that the various departments met on Monday to discuss their list of applicants and to coordinate interviews if an applicant applied to more than one program. </p>
<p>Hopefully you guys hear back soon!</p>
<p>Hi all, I just noticed that not very many people have applied to Brown MCB. Is there anything about their program that I need to know, like if they take ages to let their grad students graduate? Or if the attrition rate is high?</p>
<p>UC Santa Cruz interview offer by phone and e-mail today from really nice professor

<p>Stanford contacted people yesterday both for Biology and Cancer Biology.</p>
<p>To Harvard/MIT fellow,</p>
<p>GPA: 3.99 from a small liberal arts college that no one has heard of.
GRE: 780 M, 720 V
Research: Couple of REUs, post-graduation experience of a year and now a co-author paper in press.</p>
<p>I guess I’m not invited to beantown. Oh well!
Keep up the good work everyone. My best regards.</p>
<p>Interview from Stanford Genetics by email today! Yay! I specified Neuroscience as my primary choice and Genetics as my secondary choice.</p>
<p>Invite from UW Seattle Biochemistry by email today.</p>
<p>So does Stanford Biosciences do admissions by Home Program? I’ve seen a lot of people getting notices from them for, e.g. Neurobiology, Biology, CSB, etc. Does this mean that other Home Programs haven’t finished admissions yet?</p>
<p>Also, I was curious - are certain Home Programs more competitive than others, or do they generally accept the same % of applicants across the entire program?</p>
<p>somebody123:</p>
<p>I heard from a faculty member I spoke with that each home program admits only about 10 new students a year. In addition, I heard that admission to Neuroscience is fierce as people from all sorts of disciplines apply.</p>
<p>Anyone hear from UCSF Neuroscience? I think I’m going to have to call them in an attempt to end all this frantic admissions checking…</p>
<p>update: no answer…</p>
<p>Interview from Stanford Micro and Immuno by phone today! Good luck to everyone else who hasn’t heard yet!</p>
<p>This forum has been so helpful. Guess it’s time to post: </p>
<p>Applied: Harvard (HMS Immunology), MIT (Biology), Yale (BBS-Immunlogy), UChicago (Biomedical program), Columbia (Microbiology), Sloan Kettering, Weill Cornell (Immunology and Infectious Diseases)
Interviews: Yale, UChicago, Columbia, Sloan Kettering </p>
<p>Has anyone heard back from HMS for Immunology? I know some of you have gotten invites from HMS BBS, was wondering if Immunology sent out any yet, and if there are waves or not.</p>
