2012 Official Biosciences Interviews and Results

<p>I just received an interview invitation from Johns Hopkins BCMB by email!</p>

<p>@biochem2012- congrats on the interview, awesome</p>

<p>Missed call from a Baltimore number. I looked it up and it’s Johns Hopkins Cellular and Molecular Medicine program. They didn’t leave a voicemail, should I call back or just wait?</p>

<p>I already got an interview at Hopkins’ BCMB program, and they’re emailing me asking to confirm. The one I wanted most (Pharmacology) has the latest deadline in January so I probably won’t hear from them until at least then. Pretty conflicted on what to do… Why do they let you apply to 3 programs for only $10 extra and then have completely separate deadlines and interview dates?</p>

<p>And congrats biochem! Which date are you going to attend?</p>

<p>are rejection emails sent out at the same time as interviews? or do they hold off on some in case those who interview do not work out?</p>

<p>And another email just now from Upenn Pharmacology!</p>

<p>I just got the invite from Johns Hopkins CMDB as well - lol I can never keep track of what all the letters mean though…</p>

<p>Congrats! Although the Hopkins BCMB and CMDB departments are “different”. I’m sure the research is very similar, but BCMB is affiliated with the medical school and CMDB is affiliated with the graduate school. I don’t think there is much of a difference apart from that though hahaha.</p>

<p>I also just got the invite from Cornell which is (?) different from Weill Cornell? I don’t know… This is so much more complicated than applying to colleges - I just want to go do research someplace…</p>

<p>It should indicate where the email came from, was it med.cornell.edu, or just cornell.edu?</p>

<p>Cornell - not medcornell - good call</p>

<p>Just got an invite from UAB micro…</p>

<p>First invite received, also applied to:
UAB
Stanford
UCSF
UCSD
Chicago
USC
Vanderbilt
OSU</p>

<p>Scores: 740A(81%) 560V(78%) 4.5W, 3.69 BS (bio), 3.79 MS (marine bio, thesis on aquatic microbial pathogens)</p>

<p>Congrats!! </p>

<p>Does anyone know when the research places (scripps / Rockefeller) send out invites? Someone was already invited for scripps it seems - but they might have been fast-tracked?</p>

<p>Congratulations to everybody who has gotten an invite already! </p>

<p>I don’t think the schools I’ve already applied to have sent out anything so my fingers are crossed. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Well I guess I’ll join in, no interviews yet but I’ve applied to: </p>

<p>Yale- Neuroscience
Penn- Neuroscience
Harvard- Neuroscience
MIT- Biology</p>

<p>although most of the school’s I’ve applied to seem to invite in January, I’m already quite nervous</p>

<p>just got an email to interview at Cornell BMCB (Ithaca)!!</p>

<p>I’ve gotten interviews at Northwestern, Harvard, and UPenn, all neuro programs :slight_smile:
(Also posted on gradcafe)</p>

<p>UCSD Biological Sciences interview! Interview “weekends” (they are actually Wednesday - Thursday) are Feb 1-2 and Feb 22-23. So excited!</p>

<p>Got an interview invite from Columbia today for the Integrated CMB program. Interview date is Jan 20-22. Have to decide if I wanna go by Dec 19th.</p>

<p>Haha that doesn’t seem like a very reasonable request? Decide in one business day?</p>

<p>Got an interview invite via email this afternoon from Harvard Neuro. First one, now I can exhale a little bit.</p>
