2010 Official Biosciences Interviews and Results

Graduate School

<p>hutchtech: </p>

<p>I have reason to believe that they didn’t - two friends who did a summer program there, both with very strong applications, did not get a call yesterday. I would be completely shocked if at least one of them didn’t at least receive an interview invitation.</p>

<p>(Of course, the fact that even they haven’t received one yet makes me worry even more about my own chances. I have a feeling if we don’t hear anything today, it’s probably over. Maybe they’ll send out the last few on Monday though?)</p>

922

<p>A friend received interviews at Columbia neuro yesterday, and Stanford neuro this morning. And the waiting game rages on…</p>

923

<p>cue neuro freakout nnnnnow…</p>

924

<p>Yes. I’m starting to think the ship has sailed on the Yale and UPenn neuro invites.</p>

925

<p>@pentaligin: what about stanford molecular & cell physiology?</p>

926

<p>So, does anyone know if each program under Stanford Biosciences send out their interview calls on different dates? I’m asking since I can see that Neuro have already been called… But I’ve applied to a different program…</p>

927

<p>yeah, they don’t all send them out at once. the apps are reviewed by the individual departments so just keep waiting…</p>

928

<p>I doubt there are established dates. Given the nature of Biosciences, all the programs probably begin reviewing at about the same time (i.e., this past week) and will probably send out interview offers once their department is done.</p>

<p>(Woo, post #1111. :P)</p>

929

<p>i would assume that each program at Stanford operates independently. i can only speak for cancer bio but they just started review so i highly doubt they would be sending out invites already like the neuro program is doing.</p>

<p>wow so many neuro people!</p>

930

<p>correct, each program (at stanford, anyway) has its own admissions committee which reviews applications separately. there is cross-talk and application transfer and review overlap, but all in all it is not coordinated.</p>

931

<p>@sfpassc: too many neuro people…</p>

932

<p>right now, is the only reason we have to think that stanford has started calling the previous poster who said his friend received a call? Is there any other news out there?</p>

933

<p>No, there is no other news out there.</p>

934

<p>Just got my UMich-PIBS rejection… dang.</p>

935

<p>^which program? Sorry to hear that btw.</p>

936

<p>Finally Yale MCGD met and I got an interview invite. I am an international :)</p>

<p>Now, waiting for Stanford, Harvard and MIT…</p>

937

<p>Btw, the Columbia neuro program is cheerfully willing to schedule interviews for the previous weekend (Feb. 18 and 19). That weekend was initially intended for the theoretical neuro people, but is getting a substantial number of non-theory people due to scheduling conflicts. Last I heard, everything will be identical except possibly the faculty talks, but if a reasonable number of non-theory people decide to attend, the faculty talks will cover lots of non-theory fields.</p>

938

<p>yay! WashU DBBS (developmental biology) invitation by phone. i’m international.</p>

939

<p>@RDWRER: Thanks. Interested in Human Genetics, followed by Microbio./Immuno. and MCDB.</p>

940

<p>lol I got a Yale MCGD invite too. congrats oncogene.</p>
