2011 Official Biosciences Interviews and Results

<p>@phagocytosis</p>

<p>I’m also checking my email compulsively…
Sometimes I realize that I’m checking my email hoping to see an invitation when is extremely improbable to receive it (like at 2am)…</p>

<p>If you have any news about MSSM please post it here!</p>

<p>I just got an interview invitation from Harvard Systems Biology by email. Their interviews are 1.28 or 2.4.</p>

<p>I’m a long-time lurker, but thought I’d jump in on this thread as I have been obsessively checking it for the last day in hopes to hear some news about Stanford.</p>

<p>I’m happy to report I just got an interview invite for Stanford Biosciences (Micro & Immuno) by phone. Woohoo!</p>

<p>Good luck everyone!!</p>

<p>I got an OHSU interview invite by email in mid-December, shockingly fast. I think they might have some sort of rolling admit process, though, so I wouldn’t worry yet. Not being flat-out rejected is always good sign. Might check your email spam folder just in case…</p>

<p>Interviews so far…
University of Washington (Neurobiology and Behavior)
OHSU (Neuro)
Brown-NIH GPP (Neuro) [P.S. Does anyone have any opinions/insights about this program? I’d love to hear them…]</p>

<p>Still waiting on…
Stanford (Neuro)
UCSF (BMS)
UCSD (Neuro)
Columbia (Neuro)
Northwestern (NUIN)</p>

<p>Anyone heard from these yet? Sorry if I missed it in previous posts…</p>

<p>I just found this site and I am very glad to know I am not the only one obsessing about this. I have heard from three schools but am waiting on the rest. Particularly wondering about emory, harvard bbs, and ucsd micro. Has anyone heard from these?</p>

<p>@Flutopian</p>

<p>Thanks for posting! Now I can’t get any work done…
What time PST did they call?</p>

<p>@grosse</p>

<p>I got the call around 4pm PST. I hear each home program is sends invites differently (i.e., Micro/Immuno called, but I know others who only got emails…). So excited! :)</p>

<p>@Flutopian</p>

<p>Congrats on the interview invite! Can you post your stats?</p>

<p>@ niftyname</p>

<p>Congratulations! I got the Harvard Systems invite, too. Maybe I’ll see you there.</p>

<p>Stanford Biology (Eco/Evo) invite within half an hour period as well! I was feeling very stressed out as my programs notify later, and I have only applied to 5 schools. These are my first interviews.</p>

<p>Now, back to exams/projects…</p>

<p>@Microkel</p>

<p>Sure, no problem.</p>

<p>690V 650Q(yikes, i know) 5.5W I had flu when I took the GRE and almost didn’t bother applying. Glad I did! :)</p>

<p>3.6 GPA, 3.8 Upper (from small, private school in Texas)
Majors: B.S Biochemistry, B.A. Philosophy
4 years professional research experience, with the last 2 years working as an infectious disease research fellow at the NIH in high profile lab.
6 publications (4 of which are second-author), with 3 pending (most in Clinical Infectious Disease and Journal of Infectious Diseases).
Letters of Rec from well-known PIs at NIH</p>

<p>Applied: UCSF BMS, Stanford Biosciences, UC-Berkeley Infectious Diseases, UCSD BMS, UW Pathobiology, UC-Davis Micro (I just moved to the West coast from DC, so I only applied to West coast programs. Moving sucks!)</p>

<p>Interviews: UCSF, Stanford</p>

<p>Rejections: none</p>

<p>UT Austin sent out recruitment weekend invites today for the cell and molecular biology program…</p>

<p>Here’s my update:</p>

<p>Interviews:
Duke CMB
WashU DBBS (Computational and Molecular Biophysics)
Scripps
Columbia (Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics)
Penn (Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics)
Princeton (Molecular Biology)
MIT (Biology)</p>

<p>Waiting:
Yale BBS (MB&B)
Harvard BBS
Stanford Biophysics</p>

<p>Looks like Yale MB&B has sent everything… Congrats to everyone who gets an invite from MB&B. It’s a really nice program.
BTW I submitted my apps ~2 days before the deadlines.</p>

<p>Got an email invite from UCBerkeley MCB today! The dates are Feb 6-8 and Feb27-Mar1.</p>

<p>@bbqltw haha, my interviews are very similar to yours except I am still waiting eagerly for Scripps. Also nothing from Yale MB&B== I guess I will be able to meet you at quite a few of these interviews haha</p>

<p>got an email invite tonight from stanford biosciences (biomedical informatics)</p>

<p>Did anyone hear from Stanford neurosciences tonight?</p>

<p>anyone hear from stanford biosciences cancer bio?</p>

<p>Same as Firework11. Got an email invite from Berkeley MCB today. I suppose my coworkers keep wondering why I feverishly check my email every half hour.</p>

<p>Funny, considering I was anticipating an email from Harvard. Might as well end up getting both my undergraduate and graduate degree from the same place.</p>

<p>AHHHHHHHHH. Stanford’s invites are out? Brace yourselves.</p>

<p>I got the Berkeley MCB email! What an exciting day!</p>

<p>got my invite to Berkeley MCB today too!!! They called me and left a message since I was on the metro with no phone service. Also sent me a follow up email. Very excited.</p>

<p>Interviews so far: USC PIBBS, NYU Sackler, Columbia CMBS, UCLA ACCESS, UC Irvine CMB, Berkeley MCB</p>
