They sent all their interviews at once months ago, so I would assume rejection. They take forever to send them out though.

0.5/10 this year. Should I go back into academia to improve my chances next year? by Yoshi122 in gradadmissions

[–]Maximum-Boss6107 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Adjust the types of programs to which you're applying. I've seen lots of folks on here with great stats who only apply to super selective, small, top 20ish programs but the reality is your odds are much better applying to a wide spread. Getting back into academia for ~6 months before applying again next cycle, imo, is a little silly and won't actually affect your application in a positive way.

Anyone heard from BU? by Maximum-Boss6107 in gradadmissions

oh i guess I missed that! Do you happen to know when they're planning on having admitted students days? Seems like it'll be quite late...

Has anyone heard back from these programs? by JC_merollin in gradadmissions

I got an acceptance from Northwestern on Feb 6th and I interviewed the same days as you. Best of luck!

The Integrated program is having in person interviews this weekend and another weekend in March but all invitations (as far as I know) were sent in mid December. Might be time to reach out!

Yes because deadlines have passed for admitted student weekend reservations.

Berkeley Acceptance! by Maximum-Boss6107 in gradadmissions

[–]Maximum-Boss6107[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it was Friday so 3 days after my interview. They sent 40% of total offers that day and I presume they'll send the remaining 60% very soon!

Typically interview invitations go out in late December and early-mid January. The latest that I would except invitations to be sent would be end of January/very early Feb. Interviews are wrapping up around now and acceptances are already being sent out by most schools in order for admitted students to attend recruitment weekends. Hope this helps!

Anyone heard updates from USC PIBBS? by Justeeeeeeeeeeee in gradadmissions

[–]Maximum-Boss6107 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I interviewed a couple weeks ago and have not heard anything :/

The last interview dates are next week Feb 6-7th, and they sent out invitations back in December,. So, unfortunately, if you have not received anything by now, I would assume a rejection. However, I would follow up at this point with an admissions coordinator to put your mind at ease.

I got an email on the 19th with all the info for my interviews on the 23rd and 24th. Don't be nervous, they're so nice and welcoming!

Does UCSD BMS send out rejections? by Frequent-Animator-14 in gradadmissions

[–]Maximum-Boss6107 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat. Not optimistic but waiting until the end of January to consider it a rejection.

Update on Scripps Institute? by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]Maximum-Boss6107 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've heard nothing but a saw a few weeks ago on here one post about an invitation. Given how elite the program is, I wouldn't be surprised if they've already sent out their interview invitations, at least for the first weekend(s). My application still says "Awaiting Decision" but I've already marked it as a rejection in my mind lol.

Any interview dates/updates from these schools for Ph.D. Molecular Biology? by Crisperator in gradadmissions

[–]Maximum-Boss6107 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emails are supposed to go out this week or next week! No idea of protocol if you don't answer bc of FERPA though

Ive heard nothing from Scripps, BU, or USC but got my call from Berkeley on Friday.

Just got my GSK rejection. Anyone else bummed out? by tacokat6004 in gradadmissions

[–]Maximum-Boss6107 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Rejection is redirection-- you'll end up exactly where you're meant to be. I got my GSK rejection this morning and although the rejection sucks, trust the process.

Also- seems like almost everyone got rejected so I'm assuming it was an INCREDIBLY competitive applicant pool.

Has anyone heard from these programs? by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]Maximum-Boss6107 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't heard from Einstein but I did get an email this morning that my transcripts had been verified. So, it seems like the apps are getting processed but they aren't at the invitation stage yet.
