<p>Undergrad GPA 3.62 in Life Sciences
GRE 740Q 560V 4AW
2 semesters research in molecular biology lab
Applied to NYU Sackler, UMiami, UFlorida, USouthFlorida, UCLA, USC, New York Medical College, Boston U for PhD in Biomedical sciences and/or Pharmacology</p>
<p>Interviews at BU, NYMC, USF so far</p>
<p>I’m going to stop lurking, even though I tried… </p>
<p>Does anyone know if NYU is done giving out interviews? It seems so early, but the posted dates a few posts back just seemed so soon… </p>
<p>I applied to a number of schools, but I have only heard back from Baylor and Vanderbilt so far for interviews in January.</p>
<p>@cbck98 Sackler also has the following interview dates, invites have been sent out but i’m not sure if they are done: Feb 3/4, Feb 10/11, March 3/4</p>
<p>FYI from a 1st yr neuro grad who went through this last year:
Many schools (Columbia, Harvard, Rockefeller, etc) send out interview invites in tiers. Don’t be too disappointed if others have heard and you’re still waiting. Last year, Rockefeller was still accepting until mid-Jan. I think I remember MIT and Stanford coming out the first week of Jan.
Hope this helps a bit. Good luck!</p>
<p>Does it matter if you interview early or late? As in is there advantage of one over the other?</p>
<p>I’ll stop creepin’ on the thread as well.
700Q 610V 5.5W, 3.5 GPA, 3 years experience as a research technician, and a handful of publications
I’ve applied to:
UCSF (Tetrad)
Pitt (Interdisciplinary Biomedical Grad Program)
University of Maryland-Baltimore (Molecular Medicine)
University of Wisconsin-Madison, Physiology
Washington University (DBBS)</p>
<p>In retrospect, I wish I would have also applied to UMich PIBS, UWash and Columbia, but I tried to limit myself. So far I’ve been invited for an interview at Pitt, but haven’t heard from any of the other schools yet, although I did get the DBBS “we’ve forwarded your application to the admissions committee” email.</p>
<p>@cbck98: congrats on hearing back from baylor and vandy! when did you submit your vandy app? what program did you apply to there?</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Has anybody heard anything from the following schools:
<p>Thanks, hutchtech! Also, today I got an email from NYU Sackler (CMB) for an interview!! Dates are Feb 3-4 or Feb 10-11.</p>
<p>@IzzieE: I don’t think it matters. Schools usually provide multiple dates either to separate different groups within a program (i.e. Columbia had diff weekends for computational vs. cell/molec/systems neuro last year) or to make it easier on people who have conflicting interview schedules. Schools expect to accept ~70% of interviewees overall, and as far as I know, acceptance isn’t biased toward one weekend.
I would say that if you have a choice, don’t put your top choice as your first interview. You’ll want some practice going through the experience.</p>
<p>So I was wondering, if I get an interview invitation from a school that is not my top choice, and I accept it, can I still decline the invitation if I have to schedule a top choice interview on the same day/weekend?
Thanks!</p>
<p>Just got an interview offer from U of Chicago Molecular Biosciences Biochemistry and Molecular Biology! SO PSYCHED!!! </p>
<p>I’m an international studying in the U.S.</p>
<p>@labtech: thanks! I submitted my vanderbilt app in the beginning of december…I think maybe the 7th or something? I applied to IGP and put down cancer bio and pathology as my possible concentrations, I think. </p>
<p>I actually just heard from NYU tonight- figures, right after I post here all nervous.
This waiting game is awful.</p>
<p>University of Chicago: Molecular Biosciences just sent out some invites. Check your inbox! In my email, the interview date is Feb 17-19th</p>
<p>I’ve been checking my inbox… oh no … it’s always “on” in my phone. No email at all… hehe</p>
<p>Have all the Vandy invites already gone out? I was planning on applying, however, if all the invites have already gone out, I see no reason to complete my application.</p>
<p>LocknKey:</p>
<p>No, from speaking to them, Vandy has 9 interview weekends going from January to March. Their official deadline isn’t until January 15th, but they had a December 1st ‘priority deadline.’ I think all the invites that have gone out from that round have been for January dates, so there should be plenty of spots left in February and March for you if you apply. Like I said, the deadline’s still over two weeks away.</p>
<p>Hi, today I received the admission package from Rockefeller University! anyone else going there?</p>
<p>@ashmaniac09: by mail?</p>
<p>does anyone know if rockefeller invites in waves?</p>
<p>Hi Jennie56,</p>
<p>yes, I got it from FedEx. I remember reading somewhere on the forums that they do invite in waves, since some got admission in December, and some others got it in mid-January in the last years</p>
