<p>I think Penn CAMB’s second interview weekend is actually feb 5-7. I was invited to the first but had to reschedule for the second.</p>
<p>biostudent: I’m banking on many people accepting at other places. Especially since this is so far my top pick.</p>
<p>shnjb: did you call them? Did they say they are giving out acceptances in waves?</p>
<p>I heard from CMU today, interview is February 25-26th… Unfortunately the same as the NIH/JHU program. I am not sure which interview I am going to accept.</p>
<p>Interviews from: U of Wisconsin (MCP), CMU, NIH/JHU, U of Rochester Medical Center and UCSC.
Rejected: Berkeley
Waiting for: Pitt, U of Colorado Boulder (Chemistry), and U of Oregon.</p>
<p>Got my last interview invitation today! Heard back from UCSF iPQB (Complex Biological Systems). </p>
<p>Accepted: Harvard (BBS)
Interviews: Harvard (Systems Biology), MIT (Microbiology), Berkeley (MCB), UCSF (iPQB), UCSD (Biology)
Rejected: none</p>
<p>Best of luck to everyone in interviews. I’m sure I’ll see many of you there!</p>
<p>Last interview request today. Thought I’d post stats for people applying next year. Maybe I can give some hope to those of us without 4.0’s and perfect GRE scores…</p>
<p>uGPA: 3.6
GRE: 620V, 780Q
3 years research in undergrad with 2 2nd author papers, 1 conference poster, but in completely different field than the programs to which I applied.
2 year fellowship at NIH in molecular parasitology lab, no papers completed yet.</p>
<p>Interviews: Stanford Micro and Immuno, NYU Sackler Medical Parasitology, WashU Microbial Pathogenesis, Northwestern IGP, UW Pathobiology, Weill Cornell Immuno and Microbial Pathogensis, Tufts Microbiology, OHSU PMCB</p>
<p>Rejected: none</p>
<p>Which Tufts program gave the interview (Sackler or the graduate school), and when did you receive notification?</p>
<p>Have any international students from outside North America heard back from any schools apart from Yale yet?</p>

I applied to Tufts’ Sackler Institute. Sackler is the graduate school for biomedical sciences, so I’m not really sure what you’re asking. Unless you thought I might be applying to the regular bio dept in Medford? I heard from Tufts before Christmas…I think around the 22nd.</p>
<p>I applied partially to University A’s Biosciences program (deadline Dec-15) but decided not to finish the application. A few days ago I got a call from a faculty member I had listed on my personal statement urging me to finish my application. I just submitted everything the other day to this university but haven’t heard anything back. </p>
<p>Today I got an interview invitation at a different university (University B) whose date coincides with the only interview date for University A. I would much rather go to University A than University B, and I don’t want to book this weekend with University B then get invited to University A. </p>
<p>Is there a way I could call up University A (or the faculty member who contacted me) and let them know about this? Is this being too presumptuous? If I do contact someone, should I contact the the program or the faculty member who contacted me? I have to accept University B’s invitation by Wednesday, with the holiday that isn’t very much time.</p>
<p>shoebox: I think you should definitely contact University A and ask the status of your app.</p>
<p>I just declined my interview invitation at Northwestern. 
while I would love to go there, the other two programs that clash with both their interview dates are much more applicable to what I want to do. And they are very rigid about me interviewing ONLY during their weekends. Oh well.</p>
<p>Just heard from MIT Biology.
Still haven’t heard from MIT BCS (neuro)</p>
<p>Got an interview invitation from Mount Sinai, an on-site interview. However, I am international and live outside US…is it normal?</p>
<p>Have anyone heard from Duke University?</p>
<p>Besides, I wonder know when WUSTL invite anyone for interview.
(How long before interview date)</p>
<p>MIT interview! yay!</p>
<p>Also, I was invited to Berkeley MCB last week, but my friend wasn’t - does anyone know if they send out invitations in waves?</p>
<p>@WayaDudK: Received an interview invitation to WUSTL on Monday, by phone.</p>
<p>How does MIT informes the ones who are invited?</p>
<p>MIT informed by e-mail with the title “MIT Biology Open House Invitation”</p>
<p>No calls.</p>
<p>MIT is in.</p>
<p>Accepted: Rockefeller
Interviews: Yale, Sloan-Kettering, Weill Cornell, Berkeley, Stanford, MIT
Waiting: Columbia, Harvard (I guess I won’t be hearing from these two), NYU</p>
<p>funky, was that for bio? which one are you going to?</p>
