persimmony Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I'm beginning to look into PhD programs for Molecular biology or Biochemistry, and I can't seem to find any info on acceptance rates for schools. Can anyone lead me to the right track? I'm particularly interested in UC Denver programs, but would also appreciate info on higher tier schools.

liastra Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Call the schools and ask. Don't be daunted by their answers though. Applying is a numbers game. You'll get in somewhere, trust me. persimmony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmo_3000 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 You may want to try this link to Peterson's Guide Online http://www.petersons.com/graduate-schools/university-of-colorado-denver-school-of-medicine-biochemistry-and-molecular-genetics-program-000_10033305.aspx Looks like UC Denver is 27% for the Biochem program. I hope this helps. Biohacker and shostakovich13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alwayslearning Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 some schools actually publish this information. The first school that comes to mind that I think does a very good job of giving you application statistics is Duke. If you go HERE and select any program, then toward the bottom of the selected program's page you will see links for various statistics (application, placement, completion rate, etc.) HERE is a direct link for the biochem stats page - looks like 17% (cumulative) were offered admission for the last cycle On a different note, when my girlfriend was applying to clinical psych PhD programs a few years back, it was very common for these stats to be posted by the various schools. This doesn't seem to be the case with the life sciences and chemistry, based on what I've seen so far in my experience. This is either a product of variation in disciplines, or maybe the 'tier', or ranking, and of the programs (i.e. it may be that only the 'top tier' schools publish this type of info since they are the most competitive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acetylcholine Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 A good rule of thumb is that the top 10 programs in every discipline are a crapshoot for every applicant Monochrome Spring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
