<p>I’m another person who applied to Harvard’s Biology in Public Health PhD, and I’m also getting antsy. I haven’t heard anything either. But I do know that HMS’s BBS program is just starting to go through applications, so if people are panicking about that, don’t (yet)!</p>
<p>I’m also getting antsy about BU (Arts and Sciences–Cell and Molecular, not the med school).</p>
<p>@DeisGrad: concerning Baylor, I think it depends on what you’re interested in. I’m not sure about their other programs, but the Translational Biology and Molecular Medicine Program has a lot of funding from HHMI. Plus, you have adviser pairs, both a clinical scientist and a basic scientist. And you get to do a clinical rotation. If you’re more into basic science, this obviously isn’t for you. But I got really excited by this program because I want to do translational work. </p>
<p>It is in Houston though. I’ve never been but am a bit worried about the humidity. Good luck and do what YOU want to do.</p>
<p>I’m freaking out because I haven’t gotten any emails about interviews yet! What does this mean? I only applied to 6 schools which I am regretting now.</p>
<p>Here are my stats:
GPA: 3.7 cum, 3.8 major/upper division
GRE: 730Q, 540 verbal, 4.5 writing</p>
<p>I applied to all good schools in CA: UCSF tetrad, UCSD , Berkeley MCB, etc…</p>
<p>Am I pretty much a lost cause? I’ve been going crazy over here!</p>
<p>For Berkeley MCB, all the invitations were sent out, i guess. I called and asked them about my application and they said they cannot offer an interview for me. If you wanna learn smt regarding your application, you can call them.</p>
<p>Hey, just lurked the forum a bit and figure I’ll add to the discussion. I don’t know about Stanford, but I haven’t heard from them yet, so hopefully that’s a good sign…</p>
<p>So far, am interviewing at Baylor for TBMM program on Jan. 27-28, and USC PIBBS on Feb. 10-11 (their later date since the other option conflicts with Baylor). Anyone else going to these?</p>
<p>@turkeylurkey, thanks for the info. I’ll keep my fingers crossed. </p>
<p>Not sure about Tetrad, though I’ve heard they haven’t sent out any yet, but should be soon since the interview weekends are Feb 3, 5 and some later Feb date. </p>
<p>Also, if you want to post your interview dates and/or see other schools, here’s the thread i started but I"m thinking is getting lost among the many on this topic: </p>
