<p>UCSF BMS reject (totally expected it)</p>
<p>but…BU CMB invite at the same time</p>
<p>received it today around 1 pm, @immuno2011! i’m not so sure about immuno invites, i applied to the CMB dept. it wouldn’t hurt to contact them again, in my opinion, the administrators/faculty at BU are all extremely helpful.</p>
<p>@biosci2011</p>
<p>I also applied to Harvard BPH and haven’t heard anything. I’m all antsy because I heard back from 2 within a couple days of each other, but my other two schools seem to be holding out. I’m sure they’re doing it to torture me specifically.</p>
<p>I guess it’s about time that I stopped lurking the site and actually post my stats as well: </p>
<p>My stats are as follows:
3.88 Overall GPA and major GPA from very specialized college in an obscure pharmacy related major
GRE: 740Q 570V 5.0 Q
2 SURF Programs at 2 prestigious graduate schools in neuro (AD) research
3 yrs of physiology research at my undergrad
1 3rd and last author pub in not very high impact journal
Various posters within the country for meetings </p>
<p>Applied:
Harvard Neuro
Yale BBS
Upenn NGG
Weill Cornell Neuro
Washington University Neuro
NYU Neuro
Rockefeller University
Mayo Grad School
UCSF Neuro
University of Roch
University of Kentucky
Albany Medical Center</p>
<p>Interviews:
UPenn NGG
WashU Neuro

<p>Rejected:
UCSF (Status: DENIED! – oh that cracked me up)</p>
<p>Good luck to all those who are interviewing 
Still hoping and waiting for those that I haven’t heard from.</p>

<p>Sorry if this has already been addressed somewhere but I didn’t see a response to you. I think your stats are fine. They’re basically just slightly lower than mine and I’ve gotten a few interviews now. A big part of the process is your rec letters though, both how positive they are and how well known the writers are. Personal statement is also a pretty big factor. Assuming your recs and statement are both good I wouldn’t expect you to have a problem getting some interviews. I’m not personally familiar with any of the schools you’ve applied to or where they are in their admissions processes, but I think in general there are many schools that are still reviewing apps so I wouldn’t panic yet. </p>
<p>In any case, don’t take it personally if some schools don’t offer you interviews, there is a fair amount of randomness to the process and based on your stats you are a qualified applicant.</p>
<p>Finally, if you’re an international that will also play into the process.</p>
<p>Just got an invite to UVA!</p>
<p>Hm…I guess it’s time for me to stop lurking also and post what I have so far.</p>

<p>I just got my first acceptance!</p>
<p>my POI emailed me offering me a full fellowship to Indiana University’s BMS program! yay!</p>
<p>@turkeylurkey</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply! Do they tend to do these things in waves? Or if I haven’t heard, is that as good as a no?</p>
<p>I contacted Berkeley MCB and they told me they have already made their decisions for interveiws. Unfortunately, I was not selected. Others who are interested may want to contact.</p>
<p>@SuperPiePie That’s amazing, congratulations!</p>
<p>Does anybody know if international students get notified after everybody else? I applied to a good number of schools and have only heard back from 2. Anyone have any insight?</p>
<p>@adnuhd</p>
<p>…Boo! I haven’t heard from them either so…</p>
<p>Got an email invite to UCSD neuro today! Also Berkeley neuro earlier this week</p>
<p>is it safe to assume Cornell Weill’s Allied program has sent out all their invites?</p>

<p>Congrats on the UCSD BMS and neuro, those are my top two choices and I haven’t heard from them yet. Would you guys mind posting your stats? I couldn’t find any published stats for UCSD grad admissions and I’m curious how I compare to people who have already been accepted.</p>
<p>@curlzgrl9331</p>
<p>Oops, you just posed your stats! Sorry…</p>
<p>UCNeuro2011: thanks for the congrats :)</p>
<p>congrats on the UCI neuro!</p>
