<p>Wanted to know if anyone has heard from Penn Harvard BBS-DMS or Rockefeller Neuroscience programs?? Also anyone who can tell me what my outlook looks like I'd appreciate. I posted before, but didn't hear anything :(</p>
<p>For Penn, I'm referring to the Neuroscience program...</p>
<p>Were the MIT interview invitations e-mail/phone/mail??</p>
<p>I've applied to MCB (neuro) at Princeton too and haven't heard back :(</p>
<p>Hi shersh, my interview is actually Feb 7th weekend. I'll post about it on here afterwards. Do you know how many they're interviewing versus how many they usually accept? Three weekends seems like a lot of interviews.</p>
<p>sabnimim, the MIT invites were sent via email; undecided, I haven't heard from Princeton either...</p>

<p>I heard from Hopkins Molecular Medicine a few days ago for an interview. Non-faculty program administrator called and emailed.</p>
<p>To comment on people talking about "recruitment weekend" vs "interview" vs "acceptance" it seems that with almost every program that I look at, the three are nearly interchangeable. A weekend where the school pays for you to visit, invites you to dinners and takes you out on the town and all this is almost always them trying to convince you to come there. The key is just to relax, show that you understand the research you've worked on, and be interested in the research of the person interviewing you. The trips are not designed to be competitive - they are not picking between the visiting applicants, they are just making sure you're the same person on paper as you are in person.</p>
<p>just got a call from berkeley MCB</p>

Interview: UCSD, UCLA, UNC-CH, Duke, UCB
Accepted: None (yet)
Rejected: None (yet)</p>
<p>Wow, looks like I missed out on the MIT interview e-mail. This is really depressing; they were my number one choice!</p>
<p>Rejection @ UCSF Tetrad. They said they had already decided who to go and who not to go. It seems those who have not received any info got rejected.</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Did anyone hear from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory?</p>
<p>masta_ace, there might be another wave of e-mails...I just read a post earlier from molliebatmit who last year got an email from MIT at around 27th of Jan. So you might not need to feel down...</p>
<p>Maudib, I got the exact same email from Harvard this morning. I had a friend last year that was accepted at Harvard without an interview...he told me something about skipping the recruitment weekend. Does that mean if you're invited to the recruitment weekend you are more or less accepted?</p>
