<p>Congrats, bassish101!!</p>
<p>From what I can tell, I don’t see any interview date conflicts with my other top schools. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find interview dates for UCSF TETRAD, UCSD (other than some time in February), CSHL or GSK.</p>
<p>Congrats to you guys who just received the UChicago interview offers. I applied to the same program but did not hear anything back up to now. So stressed out.</p>

<p>Some people in the 2012 class applied to and interviewed at both programs.</p>
<p>The interview weekends at Pitt were very well put together, most of us agree. The only downside was their automatically selected interview dates (which I believe people managed to have changed manually). If you do get both interviews, don’t feel awkward about it, they’ll probably see it as a sincere interest in the institution. I know some people simply stayed in town for an extra couple days for the next interview to start.</p>
<p>Back to back interviews may seem a little stressful, I did one last year (different schools/cities), but it’s actually nice to get them out of the way if the scheduling is possible.</p>
<p>Of course, you may hear back from one program months later than the other. They’ll fly you out twice of course. It’s no different than any other candidate interviewing at multiple schools.</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone who got interviews!</p>

<p>Thank you! You and pghbioteacher have completely set my mind at ease about it. Pitt is my first choice school at this point and I don’t want to mess it up. </p>
<p>Congrats to you UChicago interviewees!</p>
<p>I also got a UChicago interview today. So excited!</p>
<p>Congrats @PolarB13, what program?</p>
<p>@erbbie3: I can’t find the interview dates for like half of my schools, but I’ll most likely accept the Chicago interview. When do you think we need to let them know by?</p>
<p>And congrats PolarB13 and thank you everyone for the congratulations! :)</p>
<p>@SMcRumble: The molecular biosciences program.</p>
<p>@bassish101: I don’t know, they said as soon as possible, though… If anyone has an idea of a timeline to let schools know, that would be awesome. What other places are you applying to? I have a couple of the interview dates written down, if you need 'em.</p>
<p>And congrats to everyone else that got an interview offer! :D</p>
<p>Does anyone know the other UChicago (molecular biosciences) days? I have a conflict, and its hard to decide which school to go to without knowing what other days Chicago interviews!</p>
<p>I think by the end of the week is acceptable. Its not quite the same thing, but the shortest medical school interview acceptance window is five business days (so I hear).</p>

<p>given interviews are coming in and interest in potential conflicts, I started a thread where we could all just post those dates for easy reference.</p>
<p>Here is that thread:</p>

<p>Thanks, edukimi!</p>
<p>I know this is not the right place to vent but I just find out that apparently Weill-Cornell still requires TOEFL even though degree is obtained from a US institution 
I’m screwed :(.</p>
<p>sweetmuffin: take the test ASAP, and let the school know. You may still have a chance.</p>
<p>I’m in Philly and most test centers around me are not offering in the near future until January. Is Cornell the only school that requires TOEFL in this case?</p>
