2011 Official Biosciences Interviews and Results

<p>@Immunol</p>

<p>Call them and just ask: it’s fast and instant</p>

<p>@ cellculture</p>

<p>In the past years, it seems to take two to three days for Stanford to send all the invites. I am guessing that depending on the home department, today, Monday, Tuesday will be the days when they will send out the invites.</p>

<p>I just got an interview invitation from the Watson School, also.</p>

<p>As far as the missing GRE scores, I second SuperPiePie’s suggestion. One of the schools I applied to was missing a recommendation letter that had been submitted. They were very helpful when I called and we had it worked out within a day or so.</p>

<p>University of Chicago Microbiology invite today by email</p>

<p>is Tufts done sending out invites?</p>

<p>does anyone have info on UC Davis, Northwestern IGP, Boston University Cell Bio, or Georgetown?</p>

<p>Anyone hear from Cornell Weill (cell) ?</p>

<p>CompuBio: Seems like UAB may do rolling admissions. When did you apply?</p>

<p>

No, sorry, I haven’t asked.</p>

<p>@bioblogger from past year’s, it looks lk it’ll be next week, and the website said it’s recruitment days, so i’m guessing you have to be accepted to be invited?</p>

<p>Sweeet! Just got an interview at Stanford for Developmental Biology.</p>

<p>I guess I should post my stats:
University of Chicago <a href=“GPA:%203.65%20overall,%20about%20the%20same%20major”>current fourth year</a>
GRE: 800Q, 620V (89%), 6.0AW
I’ve worked in the same lab here at UChicago for 3 years, part time in the school year and full time in the summer. No publications but I feel pretty well respected by my PI
My other two recommendations are from professors who I’ve taken classes with and know my research really well.</p>

<p>Applied to: UCSF Tetrad, UCBerkeley, UCLA, UCSD, Stanford, Harvard, Duke
Interviews: Duke, Stanford</p>

<p>Which Tufts program did you apply to? I only ask because I work in the Neuro dept. and I’m pretty sure they are done with ISP invites but other programs might be on a different schedule</p>

<p>@Immunol</p>

<p>I called Mt Sinai on Wednesday and I was told that they just received hundreds of GRE scores. The person in charge of entering them into the system was out of town but should be back in a couple days. I was told that I had nothing to worry about. However, I submitted my scores back in June when I took the exam, so I hope mine aren’t lost!</p>

<p>@WindSlicer</p>

<p>Good job! I applied to the Developmental and Cancer Bio Home Programs. Do you think they sent out all of the invites for Developmental so far? :-/</p>

<p>@Ns1A, Which program at Princeton did you apply to? Congrats on the invites.</p>

<p>@phagocytosis</p>

<p>Hey! Great news! (or bad news since they possibly received hundreds of applications)
Your GRE score is also still missing? I sent mine to 2464 but with the department code of the immunology 0608… I don’t know if they are able to see it, that’s why I’m worried. Anyway… I re-sent my GRE scores 10 days ago.</p>

<p>They told you then they are going to start reviewing?</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>Nervously waiting for a response from Stanford!</p>

<p>So far:</p>

<p>Interviews: Yale BBS, Princeton (Bio), MIT (Bio)
Accepted: None
Rejected: None
Still waiting: Harvard BBS and MCB, UPenn, Rockefeller, Columbia, Baylor College of Medicine, UCSF, UCSB, UC Berkeley, UCSD, Stanford, Caltech (yeah… I applied to a few schools…)</p>

<p>@Immunol</p>

<p>Yes, my scores are still missing. I think I also sent mine to the immunology department … I don’t remember, it was a while ago.</p>

<p>I think some people on this forum have already heard back, so Mt. Sinai may have rolling admissions. The wait is killing me - I can’t stop obsessively checking my email!!</p>

<p>@ ADresearcher
My file was done November 18th I think, and they called me on Dec. 8th. They have 2 interview weekends for BSB as far as I understand, the first is the 13-15th and I didn’t inquire about the 2nd. Like I said before, I don’t know about the other tracks.</p>

<p>I’m nervous for Stanford, now, too! </p>

<p>I did just receive an email from Chicago, though. So far this is where I am at: </p>

<p>Interviews: Chicago, Yale, Baylor, Vanderbilt, NYU
Acceptances/Rejections: None yet
Waiting: BU, Tufts, Stanford, Minnesota, and Harvard BBS </p>

<p>Good luck to everyone and thanks for all the advice so far- I think I need to force myself to sign off from this forum for at least a few days- I am hitting refresh on this and my email WAY too much!</p>

<p>Just got emails today for interview invites to U Penn CAMB (2/3-2/5), JHU BCMB (2/17-2/20) and Albert Einstein (2/14-2/15). Yay! Only sad thing is I really love Weill Cornell’s program and am waiting to hear from them. I believe their interview interferes with JHU’s. I’ve heard they don’t really have alternate recruitment weekends, does anyone know if they schedule alternate times for people who have already made commitments?</p>
