It's pretty strange. Perhaps they got an influx of people apply extremely early, and already have filled their class? At this point I just want to know, haha. I only haven't heard from two programs.

I'm dying here It was really nice! I heard that they are having their last on-site interview week after two weeks. But I have no idea when they are having Skype interviews.

CRYTIME Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 How much does ranking matter to you when selecting which graduate program to attend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biotechie Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 1 hour ago, Cryptochrometime said: How much does ranking matter to you when selecting which graduate program to attend? It mattered very little to me when I applied. I chose programs based on the structure of the program, research support, and faculty I was interested in working with. You need to ultimately go to a school where you feel you fit and can get a good education that will prepare you for the next step, be it a job in industry or remaining in academia. Some will argue that higher ranked schools tend to have better research funding and faculty, which to a degree is true, but they might not have the type of program you need, and the faculty there might not be working on things you're interested in.

Bubbles_L Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Just found out USC PIBBS has sent a rejection two days ago; it ended up in my spam box. Not bothered by it as I have much better choice now:) I am but a bit surprised as I deemed it as a safe option. Curious if any international students residing outside US have received interview invitation from them? Maybe that piece of information would be helpful for later international applicants.

cancergirl Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 it really grinds my gears that I got rejected from a school because of my GRE scores! Why did you then interview me in the first place like you didn't see my scores or something. Program director emailed saying your interviews went well and everyone liked you blah blah blah. Just ended up accepting me into their MS program like I applied for it in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, that test is a scam and should be thrown out altogether. mitoticspindles, Kvothe~, cosiva and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
