<p>Updates: University of Rochester (Immunology) is sending out invitations for interviews!</p>
<p>today has been a slow day…</p>
<p>MIT biology anyone…??</p>
<p>Agreed MolSys. I was fully expecting this week to be the crazy phone call and email week on behalf of the grad offices with today getting a big punt. Seems I was wrong… this silence is only making me more manic. Oh yes, to those who this applies to, don’t forget to turn in your grade report for fall 09.</p>
<p>Update:
Applied: Harvard BBS, Stanford Biosciences, MIT biology, Yale BBS, Duke CMB, Columbia CMBS, UChicago Cancer Biology, Weill-Cornell (Sloan) BCMB, UPenn CAMB, WashU DBBS (MCB), Baylor (CMB)
Interviews: Yale BBS, Duke CMB, Columbia CMBS, UChicago Cancer Biology, Weill-Cornell (Sloan) BCMB, UPenn CAMB, WashU DBBS (MCB), Baylor (CMB).
Waiting: Harvard, MIT 
, Stanford</p>
<p>International Student (did undergrad in US)</p>
<p>Since I’m new, I figure I should tell everyone where I applied and stuff:</p>
<p>Applied: Harvard BBS, MIT Bio, UPenn MBB (currently a student here), Yale BBS, Columbia, Hopkins
Interviews: Yale, Columbia, Hopkins, Penn
Waiting: MIT, Harvard</p>
<p>What program or field of study are you applying to Gradhopefully?</p>
<p>Just got my interview today for the University of Rochester’s Neuroscience program, interview dates for 2/25-2/27. I’m most likely going to decline, though, since I don’t want to miss too many classes this quarter.</p>
<p>Seems like UC Berkeley is a little late this year, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed.</p>

<p>Well my major is technically Bio with a concentration in mol bio, but most of the programs i applied to focus on biochemistry and mol biophysics</p>
<p>I just got an e-mail from Princeton. They had invited me by phone a week or two ago, but apparently I gave them the wrong phone number. FAIL!</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>Rejections: none yet…</p>
<p>^ Heh, do you have something against the West Coast?</p>
<p>Duke pharmacology interview :D</p>
<p>Just got an invite to Duke Molecular Cancer Biology today, yay!</p>
<p>Applied: Harvard BBS, UCSF BMS, UCSD BMS, Weill Cornell IMP, Dartmouth MCB, Duke MCB, UMass Medical, Tufts Sackler(Immuno), BU Path/Immuno
Interviews:
12/21(email) Dartmouth MCB
12/28(email) Weill Cornell IMP
1/11(phone) Duke MCB
hopefully more on the way…</p>
<p>this thread is gradually driving me nuts :D</p>
<p>@nutmeg</p>
<p>We are applying to a couple of the same programs,
I was wondering if you knew if BU path/immuno did interviews?
I have not heard from them nor Tufts Sackler immunology (who does do interviews)
Hope we both hear from them soon</p>
<p>does anyone have any idea on how the Duke CMB interview work? It seems like a 2-day program…any details? And do the international students (living in US) get interviews later than the domestics?</p>
<p>Received Stanford biology interview email 10 min. ago.</p>
<p>UCSD BMS invite today for 3/5-3/6! Seems the admission committee met last Friday.</p>
<p>I am driving myself insane reading this thread. I had letters of recommendation holding me up but they have finally been submitted. The waiting is just awful. I feel like it’s time to find a hobby or something. I have taken up working out in the evening just to exhaust myself before bed so that I can sleep through most of the night, yet I find myself awake at 4am checking my email. I can’t help myself when I roll over and that flashing red light catches my eye. Who is going to email me at 4am? QVC that’s who. I never thought I’d hate my blackberry. . .</p>

<p>I believe BU does do interviews, though I have no idea when the interview weekend(s) are this year. I haven’t heard anything from Tufts immuno yet, though hopefully soon for both programs. Good luck!</p>
