<p>@Trickster31</p>
<p>just wanted to tell you: in Iowa’s case, don’t worry about the GRE, I assure you they have it even if they’re not updating!
For UIUC, I was asked for transcripts, so maybe it’s because you’re from UIC, as you said.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Their IBiS program isn’t until the 15th either. Maybe they’re starting early and found an outstanding applicant?</p>
<p>@ trickster</p>
<p>If it doesn’t show up when you submit your application, I would still call them just in case to make sure they have it. I had a issue with Madison this year where they couldn’t find my GRE scores although I clearly sent them to the school. Though they did have this issue with many other applicants.</p>
<p>Although we’re applying for similar schools, I’m focusing on either general Biology or Cell/Molecular Biology. Good luck!</p>
<p>@SH2011 Since you know the UPenn neuro interview dates I’m going to guess you got an invite?</p>
<p>What were your stats, and when was your application completed?</p>
<p>Received interviews for UNC BBS, Emory MSP, and Johns Hopkins CMM programs :)</p>
<p>Does Harvard BBS have a link to check if your application is complete? I can only see that my rec letters are in through the online application…but what about the official GRE score and transcripts? How can I confirm they have been received? I treid to call the number that’s only available 2-4pm but they told me they can’t check if i’m missing anything…Also, has anyone successfully contacted Stanford Bioscience? I tried to call and emailed…but no answer…</p>
<p>mochibunny: Could you post your stats, if your don’t mind? Thanks</p>
<p>Does UNC BBSP send their interviews out in waves or all at once?</p>
<p>biotechstudent: I think UNC sent out offers in small waves. Someone already got the interview offer 2 weeks ago.</p>
<p>@ princebear: For Harvard BBS you need to call 617-496-6100 for GRE and email division<em>medical</em><a href=“mailto:sciences@hms.harvard.edu”>sciences@hms.harvard.edu</a> for official transcript. You will need to provide your name, institution of transcript and birthday to verify your identity. I did this about a week before deadline and they got back to me pretty quick.</p>
<p>As for Stanford, I contacted the program head for MCP to double check that my app was complete (everything was sent in but the online status still said it was incomplete) and she got back to me pretty quickly (within 24 hrs). Hope this helps!</p>

^ It’s insane, I know >_<</p>
<p>@piano5115: thank you! that’s very helpful.</p>
<p>mochibunny: Thanks man, You have such great research exp. What branch do you apply to under the BBSP program?</p>
<p>Congrat! mochibunny. When did you hear back from Johns Hopkins CMM? Btws, when was your application complete? I just wonder if they review on a rolling basis. Thanks</p>
<p>@MicroB2012: No problem! I just applied to the umbrella program, if I’m not mistaken. But if accepted, I would want to be part of the Cell and Developmental program (I’m interested in stem cell biology). </p>
<p>@CSCmeta: I heard back from JHU on Dec. 7th. I submitted it Nov. 22nd. I’m not sure if they review on a rolling basis, but I do know that they have two interview weekends, one in Jan. and another in early Feb.</p>
<p>More and more people are getting interviews for UPenn CAMB…I want too!!! :-(</p>
<p>biomed89: Mee too. I want it so bad.</p>
<p>Hi everyone Panda here, just chewing on some Bamboo. I’m still waiting and haven’t heard from anywhere.</p>
<p>Yeah, me too :(. I’m getting really anxious and can’t study for my finals :(</p>
<p>How much influence will fall term grades have on applications?</p>
<p>assuming you already sent transcripts, they wont even know your fall grades</p>
