<p>Thanks for the info! Yeah I’m not too too worried about UCSD BMS and biology as both gave interviews in January. I told everyone I wouldn’t hear anything until January so they wont ask me til then.</p>
<p>I applied to UCSD biological science too, hopefully will get an interview offer from there. What area did you guys choose to apply?</p>
<p>Immunology and neurobiology.</p>
<p>Best of luck to all the UCSD hopefuls! May we all get interviews soon! :)</p>
<p>Am I disadvantaged if its my alma mater? My lab experience is in other labs though! Good luck to all of us!</p>
<p>If you have internal recommendations it should give you an advantage</p>

I so agree with you. I wish I could know what was serving negatively in my application. They told me about large number of highly qualified applicants… but we all know it’s a cliche they always use. 
I also had 2 years of exp. but no first author pub.
Let’s cheer up and wait for other schools or second chance from our first choices!</p>
<p>Does anyone know when UT southwestern started sending invitations last year?</p>
<p>I’m losing my mind, you guys! The anticipation is too much! Aahhhhh!</p>
<p>Oh man, I’m so excited. I just got my best grades in all of college. I had to wait to submit my applications so I could put my my better GPA(it increased it by .1 overall), so now we play the waiting game I guess. Good luck to every one.</p>
<p>@abyj85: I agree, no need to get down over one school, and maybe they will give us a second look anyway…good luck with your other schools and i hope you find yourself in your ideal situation!!!</p>

Thanks for the wishes!
Let’s hope for the best :)</p>

<p>@biotechstudent - did the invite email come today, Sunday the 23rd, or is this your first chance to post?</p>
<p>I have a question for those who received interview offers from Sloan-Kettering. Do you guys get reply from Ms. Maria Torres after you confirm your attendance? Thanks</p>
