<p>@fish It was BBS. :(</p>
<p>is anyone somewhat surprised people got interviews at Havard but not Berkeley?</p>
<p>I got an interview invite for CSHL! Excited, but it conflicts with another interview… Hopefully they’ll be able to do a different weekend.</p>
<p>@BioPhysANDchem: Berkeley is a top program and probably draws in a great number of applications (like Harvard). Another issue is that they are a state university, so they’re probably harsher for out-of-state applicants.</p>
<p>@bassish101
congrats! how and when did CSHL contact you?</p>
<p>they had close to 1400 applicants, and each class is somewhere around 80-90. Good luck!</p>
<p>Sorry, that last post was about unc bbsp</p>
<p>@princebear: thanks! an hour ago via e-mail. Good luck!</p>
<p>not hearing from any schools has me starting to regret all the nights i went out drinkings instead of studying in college. oops</p>
<p>There’s one post on Grad School Cafe for Stanford Biosciences M&I. I guess they’re starting to notify applicants?</p>
<p>For harvard bbs, how many students are usually interviewed? What about the international students? A little bit nervous about what it would like for the next week…</p>
<p>Just heard from UWash Pathobiology! I’m super-pumped, as this is (pre-interview) my #1 choice.</p>
<p>OH MAH GOD STANFORD GENETICS INTERVIEW (via email). This is hampering my productivity significantly.</p>
<p>Congratulations, trekker and slicingbike!!!</p>
<p>aw man I applied to Stanford genetics…guess that’s a rejection :(…and a rejection from UC Berkeley MCB too 
bummer!</p>
<p>@mathandbrains, do you know how many people are interviewing for unc bbsp?</p>
<p>rejected from Berkeley MCB as well, so many of us lol</p>
<p>is anyone applying to caltech? I’ve heard nothing about them on the boards…actually, I havnt heard of anyone else applying</p>
<p>@ mathandbrains I am interviewing at unc bbsp as well- do you happen to know the post interview acceptance rate?</p>
<p>-ucsf tetrad sent out rejections a few minutes ago…ugh 2 rejections in one day :(</p>
<p>
For Harvard BBS, it absolutely doesn’t make a difference whether you come the first weekend or the second.</p>
<p>
This is actually only the second year Harvard BBS is interviewing – previously students were accepted in January and came for a recruitment weekend. The intent is that the current system works very much like the previous one, and they are not looking to cut anyone post-interview, if possible.</p>
<p>sounds like they’re reserving the right to reject the crazy people :p</p>
