US PhD Bio/biomedical/lifesciences international interviews & acceptances fall 2011

<p>@zfish38 - What are your stats like? Do you have a US degree?</p>

<p>@blaa2k</p>

<p>my stats:
GPA 3.7 major:3.8
GRE 800Q, 660V, 5.5A
Subject GRE Biology 99%
1 year of research in pharmaceutics
1 publication (middle-author)</p>

<p>expected to receive BA this February from a non-US school.</p>

<p>Hi, zfish38,</p>

<p>Which country are you from? Have you applied for Biology program in Stanford Biosciences?</p>

<p>@ashmaniac09, pharmnerd: Oh! if it’s F-1 that would be cool too! :slight_smile: Just dint want to get stuck with J1. For some reason i wrongly assumed that since schools payed stipend, it would be either J1 or H1b.</p>

<p>Hey, great news, zfish38!!</p>

<p>I’m still waiting for another invitation (I have only one), ideally I would like to have 3 more… lets see.</p>

<p>@ oulileo, I applied to the Molecular/Cellular Physiology program.
I think they’re done sending out invitations, but it doesn’t seem to be the case for some of the other programs at Stanford Biosciences.
I’m from an east-Asian country. :)</p>

<p>and… does anyone know if the schools provide some sort of reimbursement for travel expenses for the interviews?</p>

<p>@zfish38: i think the reimbursement is school specific. i got invited to columbia and the admissions dept was willing to reimburse 300 USD. congrats on your interview invites. i’m extremely envious :)</p>

<p>hi guys…seems the thread has stood standstill since the 8th of jan.anyone heard from the
following:</p>

<p>Tufts ISP
UTSW-DBS
BCM- CMB/TBMM
MT SINAI
UTAH</p>

<p>Please post if you have.My luck is still in the negative.No interviews.</p>

<p>I haven’t had any news at all either which is really frustrating. Don’t know whether to be happy that I haven’t been rejected yet or to assume rejection because I haven’t been invited to interview. I’ve just emailed the grad coordinators at a couple of my schools so I guess I just have to wait…</p>

<p>@fallbiomed & alleycat</p>

<p>in the same boat</p>

<p>applied to:
Stanford Biosciences Biology
Rockefeller
UChicago
baylor college
Upitts
NYU</p>

<p>no reply yet.
the waiting is driving me crazy, esp seeing that many others on the board got invites!
hang in there folks!</p>

<p>@fallbiomed2011</p>

<p>I haven’t hear a thing from MSSM yet… What program of the U of Utah are you applying for? My girlfriend is applying to the Molecular Biology Program and they told her that they will begin reviewing by the end of February!</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>also no response from Mount Sinai yet… when was your application complete? due to the fact that they somehow lost my GRE scores, my app was only complete on Jan 6. </p>

<p>UTSW-DBS told me that they will not update the final status until beginning of March…</p>

<p>MSSM has not updated any part of my application till now…although I submitted somewhere around the 23rd of Nov.and I had sent in all transcripts by then for sure.</p>

<p>wow…utah going to start review at the end of feb.too long to wait.I have applied for their molecular biology program too.</p>

<p>UTSW final status by march?Must be the final decisions though i.e. after interviews.</p>

<p>My MSSM status is also incomplete… It seems that they also lost my GRE scores… Anyway, I re-submitted my GRE scores.</p>

<p>interview invite from NYU department of biology!</p>

<p>Here’s an update for me.</p>

<p>UCSF rejection.
GSK invite.</p>

<p>Haven’t heard back from:
MIT bio
Stanford Cancer bio
UPenn
Harvard BBS</p>

<p>I think MIT has sent out all their invites, and UPenn has sent out 90% of theirs =/</p>

<p>Best of luck, everyone!</p>

<p>Which UCSF program? Thanks. And best of luck to everyone.</p>

How would u evaluate my chances at these schools: Yale -BBS ,Princeton - Biology, JHU - CMM, UMich - MCDB, UPenn- CAMB, Duke-CMB, GSK - Cancer Biology, NYU, UTH and Boston U.
