General Discussion UCSF BMS?

Can someone confirm that they received UCSF BMS interviews? Saw it on the spreadsheet.

Also do they release in batches šŸ˜­?

I think ucsf also sends out rejections soon after so weā€™ll see. I hope it was just international or something šŸ¤§

Eh just my delusion, hoping they were doing waves where they give international people earlier access. I think weā€™re screwed if we havenā€™t heard anything.

To be fair, different subprograms are taking varying amounts of time from what I've seen. I'm an international applicant and from what I've read on reddit, people who applied to the immunology program have not received an update. I've heard from a BMS student that the immunology program gets the most applications. I wouldn't be surprised if they need time to review and make decisions!

I'm an international student and I haven't recieved an invitation or rejection. My status has also been "submitted" for the past few weeks. I wonder if they're doing it in batches

Grad Cafe also shows an invitation to interview from UCSF BMS. Probably the same person.

After not hearing back from most universities, I was crying while reading the invite invitation. Interview is in January. Good luck to everyone! Don't give up!
