Official Biomedical Sciences Interviews/Acceptances 2009

<p>hey neurohopeful- do you know if columbia’s neurobiology & behavior sends out interview invites in bulk? i didn’t get an invite… does that mean it’s bad news?</p>

<p>@ymmit - i did apply to two programs (one chemistry, one biochem/molbio) that didn’t require interviews and sent out the acceptance along with an invite for a “visit” … but the interview is a valuable chance for you to check out the program/school/city as well and see if they can impress you too.</p>

<p>I’m not sure about bulk emails, but they have 1 Jan date and 1 mid-Feb date. A current student I know in the program warned me earlier in the semester that I probably wouldn’t hear anything until after the holidays, so I wouldn’t worry if you haven’t received an email yet. Maybe it is just rolling…</p>

<p>Did anyone apply to the Gerstner-Sloan Kettering Cancer Bio PhD program? They have their Interview/Recruitment on Jan 20-22, and classes begin in July, so they have to start informing people soon. </p>

<p>I checked the Princeton site: They seem to take more time to inform. Interviews are not until Feb-March.</p>

<p>Nissle, I didn’t apply to Sloan-K but last year someone got the invitation around this time of the year. Good luck.</p>

<p>UMich PIBS this morning, by phone.</p>

<p>Those who got the interviews or will be getting interviews, can you please post your stats and the list of the colleges you are applyin?
thanks</p>

<p>if anyone is interested, this is another interview thread from the 07 cycle [Biology/Biomedical</a> Science/Microbiology Interview Invitations - TestMagic Forums](<a href=“Biology/Biomedical Science/Microbiology Interview Invitations - Graduate Admissions - Urch Forums”>Biology/Biomedical Science/Microbiology Interview Invitations - Graduate Admissions - Urch Forums)</p>

<p>harvard neuroscience!!! anyone else going?</p>

<p>Husband got interview at Dartmouth Feb. 20th in the MCB.</p>

<p>delusion- harvard by email or phone?</p>

<p>Got an email from Yale Immunology today. Interview’s from Jan 29 to Feb 1.</p>

<p>harvard neuroscience by email. but uw seattle is on the same weekend. so i wonder which school to ask about rescheduling. i love both the programs.</p>

<p>Thanks backflip. And I am so worried that my Dartmouth MCB application shows up as incomplete even though everything they asked for has been received. And it does not help that I am an international student (doing my Masters in the US).</p>

<p>When picking faculty for your interview list, I know that first and foremost it’s important to choose one who does what you’re interested in. On a level below that, is it usually better to choose faculty who are younger and excited, or old and established- even famous? I am just wondering if we would be able to connect with one or the other better, and if that will factor into the admissions decision.</p>

<p>Has anyone heard back from Harvard Immunology? Some people have gotten interviews at neuroscience and virology which are also through DMS. I know BBS doesn’t even do interviews, is Immunology the same?</p>

<p>Besides Harvard I applied to UChicago, PIBS at Michigan, and UPenn, all immunology and have gotten interview invitations to each of them.</p>

<p>oops sorry!</p>
