<p>Ditto on UC Irvine CMB email, January 27-30</p>
<p>Just got an interview at GSK! FYI: I applied only days before the deadline</p>
<p>Stats:
3.5 GPA (3.63 science) at top school
780 Q (84), 690V (89), 5W
lots of research experience but no pubs yet (one in preparation, but that doesnt help me with this :P)</p>
<p>Ditto on GSK! Yes!!! Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>Hi everyone. Figured I’d also send my two cents in that GSK just sent me an email as well. Good luck everyone! :-)</p>
<p>I think its safe to say the 21st of December is a melee of early interview invitations! Congrats everyone! :)</p>
<p>Congrats guys. Looks like I am GSK invite-less.</p>
<p>Yale interview invite!! I’m so stoked!!</p>
<p>I hate to say it but it looks like GSK only interviewed 50 applicants last year and their notification week was this week last time too.</p>
<p>Can anyone prove me wrong? Please? :P</p>
<p>@ImmunoNIH, I’m also GSK invite-less. It is a really small and really new program, so I would assume they don’t interview very many people…oh well, i still have my fingers crossed for Weill Cornell (which is probably a better program anyways).</p>
<p>congrats on yale cellculture!! I’m still waiting, trying my best to keep distracted 
Congrats to everyone else as well on the flurry of invites!!!</p>
<p>@belleoftheball: Which program within Columbia’s biomed did you apply to?</p>
<p>@belleoftheball: I have my fingers crossed for that too. I liked a lot of the faculty at GSK and considering Weill collaborates quite a bit with GSK it may not be difficult to still weasel my way there. I haven’t seen anything from Weill yet.</p>
<p>@jennie56, its the Integrated in Cellular, Molecular and Biomedical Studies program</p>
<p>@ImmunoNIH, same boat as you, Weill Cornell does interview emails in January too! :)</p>
<p>@ImmunoNIH: I visited both GSK and Weill Cornell to find out more about their programs. The cornell program in joint with Memorial Sloan-Kettering, but the GSK program is not joint with any other school. Therefore, you can work with any faculty at Weill or GSK in the Cornell program, its not a problem. They say that they think of the faculty at both schools as one. A grad student even told me that you can work with some Rockefeller faculty although that is a bit more difficult and I think requires that faculty member to fund you. At GSK you can only work with GSK faculty, so you have a larger pool to work with at Cornell.</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I’m new to the forum. Just wanted to tell that I got admission to Berkeley’s Molecular and Biochemical Nutrition Program. Obviously, they do not require interviews for international students :)</p>
<p>not getting an invite from GSK is super depressing, it was one of my top choices</p>
<p>I got an invite to Weill Cornell yesterday morning. Nothing else, yet.</p>
<p>hey…wheres which program in weil cornell</p>
<p>wheres, what program are you applying to at Weill?</p>
