<p>@ MedicalScientist, washu2010 and Selpunca glad others from the forum will be there. I’m looking forward to seeing you guys there.</p>
<p>@ selpunca Don’t worry. It’s my first interview and I’m just as nervous as you are. I’m pretty sire we’ll be fine!</p>
<p>Update (international)</p>
<p>Applied: MIT, Yale, Rockefeller, Harvard, Columbia, Weill Cornell, NYU, Brandeis, UChicago, Princeton, Stanford
Interviews: NYU (Sackler Neuro), Princeton (Neuro), Weill Cornell (BCMB), Brandeis (MCB)
Rejections: MIT, (and most definitely: Yale, Rockefeller, Columbia and Stanford)
Realistically waiting on: UChicago (mix-up with LORs, was told they are reviewing my app on Thursday, so we’ll see - this is for computational neuroscience). </p>
<p>It is cool when invitation letters are signed by the very people you want to work with.</p>

I know University of Illinois at Chicago (GEMS) has a Feb. 15 deadline. And according to an automatic e-mail response from UT Southwestern, they are still accepting applications up to Feb. 1st.</p>
<p>Is anyone else attending the January recruitment weekend for the UT at Austin CMB program?</p>
<p>I meant to type I’m sure we’ll be fine in my previous post. For the ladies on the board. . .do you plan to carry around your purse during interviews?</p>
<p>@biomed2010: I haven’t thought about that. I would tend to want to avoid carrying it around, but I don’t really want to leave my ID, credit cards and money in my hotel either.</p>
<p>i brought along a little wallet that i could fit in my coat pocket and just walked around in my coat. that worked really well. there were girls there with purses but they seemed to be quite a burden</p>
<p>biomed2010:</p>
<p>I did and so did every other female during the interview. You don’t actually need to if it really bothers you, though I recommend keeping ID and CC just in case.</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses. I was just thinking it might be awkward moving around from interview to interview and what if I got so nervous I forgot it. I also felt weird about walking around without ID and phone just in case. A wristlet is a great idea biophdplease. I think hitting the mall tonight might also help calm my pre-interview jitters.</p>
<p>I heard from Princeton Ecology and Evolutionary Biology that they have contacted interviewees… so if you haven’t heard it’s probably a ‘no’. Unfortunately I’m not in.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>In a similar vein, I contacted Columbia Neurobiology and Behavior today. All interview invitations have been sent out.</p>
<p>@safetypin00</p>
<p>Which interview days are you attending Brandeis? I’m planning to make it over for Friday the 26th</p>
<p>Still waiting for at least seven schools( micro/immuno Ph.D. Two invitations so far)
Btw, I had a dream about Stanford last night and I would like to share with everyone:
A guy called my said a decision is made based on my applications. I replied anxiously:" Do I have an interview?" The guy replied:" find it on-line!" I asked again but the guy replied the same thing. So I wanted to reach my computer in a hurry. Without finding my computer, I woke up:) Anyway, good luck to those of you who are still waiting, or prepare for the first interview!</p>
<p>does anybody know how harvard bbs is doing regarding sending out offers? anybody received anything this week or heard anything from admissions? thnx!</p>
<p>lzh:</p>
<p>Hey I’ve applied to a few universities for the same program (Micro/Viro), and haven’t heard from any universities yet. Which universities have you applied for/gotten an invite?</p>
<p>I m an international student (from Canada).</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Any responses to daybyday would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!</p>
<p>Got Berkeley Neuroscience invite.</p>
<p>@daybyday</p>
<p>Yes, I have been wondering the same thing. I know that Harvard BBS sends out in waves, but I would like to find out when they stop sending out invites. I read on their website that all invites should be sent by the first week of Feb, but if we dont get a call by say this friday, should we just realistically assume that we will not be getting accepted? Thanks!</p>
<p>@Izh and thetsb</p>
<p>I too have applied to Micro/Immuno programs and haven’t heard from 6 of my 8 schools!!!
Why is it taking so long?!!</p>
<p>@jambromr
oh…I see. I only applied to public health prograram in JHU, Harvard, and Yale. I’d accepted to JHU and got a interview invitation from Harvard. What about JHU? Did you hear from the JHU??</p>
