<p>for those asking about yale.
i got a phone call too but i did not pick up so the lady (JoAnn Falato) sent an email asking if I would like to interview. I applied to the pharmacology program. Is it the same lady for those who applied to Yale?</p>
<p>All this talk about Yale is making me impatient. I also applied to MCGD, with Neuro my second choice (probably should’ve put that as my first). It is not really my top choice at all (um, I don’t know about 7 years or so in New Haven, for one) but I just want to know! (I guess I have to wait until they get to internationals though).</p>
<p>yeah safety, i applied to the same programs, we’ll just have to see! i can’t wait till after holidays now.</p>
<p>@ Cal2010…I also applied to the MCGD track. So…we have to wait until Jan. 4th…right?? Although someone already got an official interview offer, I feel relief because you and me in same situation. I hope we will be fine!</p>
<p>Good luck every guyz!!!</p>

<p>Yeah, I keep hearing a lot of griping about New Haven (though I’ve never been.) One of my mentors told me that the best part of being at Yale was that she had no distractions- she was able to finish in 3 years. </p>
<p>And if push comes to shove, there’s always the bus to Boston or commuter trains to Manhattan if you need an escape.</p>
<p>E-mail invite from NYU Sackler Immunology, rescheduled Tufts interview, will have to reschedule Chicago interview for February and skip out on the New England Science Symposium (no big loss there). </p>
<p>Schools Applied: Yale,Harvard,MIT,U Penn,Weill Cornell, NYU,Princeton,Mount Sinai,UVA,U Chicago,Tufts,SUNY Stonybrook,CUNY,Georgetown,U Illinois- Chicago</p>
<p>Interviews: Yale, U Penn, U Chicago, Tufts, NYU
Rejections: none yet…</p>
<p>Guys, there’s no need to worry because you’ve only gotten a phone call or an email from a professor – that’s an interview invitation, and you won’t get one unless you’re actually going to be interviewed.</p>
<p>yale? psh. manhattan is where it’s at…</p>
<p>during my preliminary search for grad schools, i had two rules:
1.) no nyc
2.) no so. cal.</p>
<p>xxxxxxx,
In the beginning my plan was California or bust. Now it seems to be all about NYC. :P</p>
<p>xxxxxxxxxxx, don’t be boring! manhattan isn’t that bad! maybe a little pricey, but fun.</p>
<p>
QFT.</p>
<p>NYC gets old… fast.</p>
<p>really big cities are just not for me. too hard to get around (especially LA…oh god!), lonesome in its crowdedness. plus, i have two little dogs that i would have to check on during the day so i can’t handle really long commutes to work/school.</p>
<p>i have a lot of friends who now live in nyc, so it’s a shame i don’t like it. but maybe it’s a good idea that i isolate myself a bit from the “hipster” scene (most of the people i associate with currently are involved in fashion, art, music…don’t really fit in there)</p>
<p>cooper22, I thought New Haven and the Yale campus were gorgeous (was there for a conference). The buildings are stunning and the town is quaint…</p>
<p>NYC isn’t difficult to get around at all. IMO, I think it’s the easiest city to get around in the US (subway 24/7, taxi everywhere + on a related note, bars open until 4-5a, great combination! :D) As kyptonsa36 points out NYC is not for everyone. A lot of people miss quiet relax atmosphere after a months. But I am totally a city person and would love to stay here.</p>
<p>What schools are still accepting applications? I’m worried I didn’t apply to enough schools and am thinking I should put in a few last-minute applications.</p>
<p>I know U of Illinois has a January 15th deadline. A couple of schools have Jan 1-2 deadlines but I definitely can’t make that.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>UT Southwestern has Feb 1 final deadline.</p>
<p>Thanks! I see Tufts has Jan 15th as well.</p>
<p>Brandeis has Jan 15 deadline. </p>
<p>Yes, I’m a big city person all the way. When the size of my university is bigger than the city I might be living in next year, or hell, the size of my first-year classes is the same as the entire undergrad in some of these places, I get nervous. I pretty much applied to places in NYC mostly because it is NYC, hahaha.</p>
<p>kentucky and ut health and science center san antonio have late deadlines.</p>
