2010 Official Biosciences Interviews and Results

<p>can someone send me a PM the next time there is a flare up like that? I hate missing out on the action.</p>

<p>Has anyone heard from Duke Cog Sci?</p>

<p>

Oh, absolutely! Undressing during an interview is a HUGE no-no.</p>

<p>^^ At least you’d be memorable!</p>

<p>Coggrad, re: Duke Cog Sci. My D got an email message saying that they couldn’t read her transcript within minutes of someone reporting on thegradcafe that they got an interview from Duke Cog Sci. My D was understandably upset, so she contacted them, re-sent transcript in both hard copy and PDF. She received a reply from the chair that they hadn’t made all their interview decisions, so not to worry; however, she (and I) don’t believe that was true. It has been two weeks since that email, and no new interviews have been reported from Cog Sci.</p>

<p>Considering that they only admit 10 or so people and seem to have only 5-6 spots, the odds are against any applicant, no matter how impressive.</p>

<p>I just received an interview invitation from Dartmouth MCB program (micro/immuno). They are still sending out invitations, so good luck!</p>

<p>Man, still haven’t heard from Yale Micro and Harvard Viro :@. Anyone else on the same boat?</p>

<p>Hi Cancerbiol,</p>

<p>I just finished interviewing at Sloan-Kettering so they’re done, and I believe Cornell is in a couple of weeks. :frowning: sorry.</p>

<p>Mount Sinai has not finished interviewing…I have an interview with them on Feb 8-9 and I believe they do their interviews in waves.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>@thetsb: Harvard Viro’s interview weekend is tomorrow, so if you haven’t heard yet, I’d take that as a no. Sorry…</p>

<p>@phDhopeful: Did they pull out all the stops again this year? GSK was definitely the most posh interview I went on last year</p>

<p>Just got NYU biology interview invite!!!</p>

<p>Their interview weekend is February 5, 12, 19, and 26</p>

<p>@xiv21</p>

<p>ah blows. How’d you hear about the invite? The confirmation website doesn’t have any place where they mention accepted/rejected/interview :S.</p>

<p>Good luck with your interview :). Do tell me how it went.</p>

<p>@xiv21:
OMG GSK was INCREDIBLE!!! They really treated us like royalty!!!</p>

<p>hey guys!</p>

<p>fr those who attended the sackler interview do have any idea if they have more interviews coming up?
i jus called the sackler office and was told that they are still reviewing applications! :S</p>

<p>woohooo!! Just got my acceptance from UPenn CAMB program. Atleast now I dont have to worry about getting in somewhere!!</p>

<p>Good luck to ppl going on the upcoming interviews.</p>

<p>i have a paper recently accepted to a journal on which i am a middle author. should i update grad schools on this?</p>

<p>This discussion about what or not wearing during interview weekends looks like those arguments during scientific meeting. It’s so exciting! But, it’s time for a break: let’s enjoy the coffee shop or how about drinking a beer…</p>

<p>@RDWRER</p>

<p>No problem, I’ll let you know!</p>

<p>@xiv21</p>

<p>Have you been invited to the interview weekend at Harvard Virology program? Would you mind posting your stats here?</p>

<p>@thetsb, Dengue2011: I am in the Harvard BBS program and am involved in recruitment. My friend in virology mentioned that they are hosting interviewees this weekend and that this is the only virology interview weekend. As far as BBS is concerned, we were told that all decisions would be made by the end of this month.</p>

<p>@phDhopeful: I’m glad to hear GSK hasn’t lost its luster. :wink: It was definitely high on my list after my experience. Mind if I ask with whom did you interview?</p>

<p>@thetsb</p>

<p>I received an interview invitation from Yale Microbiology back in December for the weekend of Feb. 4-7. I’m not sure if there are other interview weekends though, hope that helps.</p>

<p>@yaygrady</p>

<p>Congrats on your acceptance at UPenn! I am going on an interview there next weekend for Immunology, so I was wondering what you thought of their interview weekend?</p>

<p>@xiv21:
I interviewed with Mary Baylies, Andrea Ventura, and Christopher Lima.
Do you mind my asking where you ended up and why?</p>
