nope on the csbi thing

that's weird....if you guys got called for HST and other programs...Harvard Sys Bio and CSBi should have at least offered interviews as well.....are we even sure that they do interviews??

from CSBi:

"Candidates may be asked to interview, either on campus or via telephone"

MAY...

that may simply mean those not offered interviews are thrown in the reject pile ...

then again this information is probably not reliable...Yale unequivocally says that all CBB candidates are interviewed..yet they handed out acceptances in the first two weeks of January....

Im sure they have lots of slots open...and u are sure to be accepted looking at your stats

We'll talk later...Ill give u a call

wow that was a really quick turn around! I'm really shocked they would have notified anyone so early. Do you know who tried calling you? And how did you eventually find out (email, snail mail?)

Hey, it was nice chatting with you tonight. I sent you my contact email address and now you have my cell number so we'll definately get together in Boston!

Hey...yeah they called me and told me over the phone...literally 5 days after my interview...now that is what i call efficiency!!

FINALLY!!!

Yes, it must be fabulous, after all, these people know you and your work, so if they want to hold on to you, that's great! Good luck with the upcoming interviews!

Let's hope you'll be stuck with a luxury problem to solve!

Super Congratulations

for your wonderful admit ...

It is just a super start, as you deserve ...

More and more around the corner !

Have fun!

Thanks everyone

I am sure you all know how important it is to have people supporting you...and I truely feel that this place has really been a place where people can come to get their morale boosted.
We are all travelling down this very long, exhuasting and PAINFUL road which will eventually lead us to higher places, like graduate school, and I will be genuinely sad when this whole process comes to an end and I will no longer have anything to post on this forum...
THOUGH....Erin

...maybe you can create a thread for those in graduate school so that we can all share our thoughts and experiences with the programs we have chosen for ourselves....I would even be willing to offer my own advise to those who are taking their GRE and applying to graduate school in the future...

I would like to jump on the bandwagon and offer my congrats as well. Did you happen to like the campus? Doesn't it remind you of a Harry Potter movie? With the exception of the cold winters, U of Chicago is almost impeccable.

Haha...yeah kinda llike harry potter minus the magic...lol
Ive lived and worked at UofC for 2 years and have loved every minute of it. Hyde Park, where UofC is located, has an amazing feel to it...the professors and students all live in the same area and it really fosters this academic feel.
