This is for all international applicants: It is true that it is kinda hard for international students to get into top schools compared to domestics but it is worth to try. If you have enough research experience, they actually do not care much about your GRE score or GPA. I got offer from Columbia, NYU, UIUC, Umass-Amherst and Stony Brook but even no interview from Penn State or Rutgers for ex. What I mean is it is really unpredictable for internationals. If you look at the profiles of the domestic students, there is consistency among the schools from which they got offer. However, this is not the case for most of the internationals (saying this from my and my international friends' experiences). Do not lose your hope and apply at least 10 schools or more if you can-include your top choices and back ups as well!

I have just declined the offer (MCB program). Good luck!

got into Columbia-Biological Sciences, yayy!!!

They said same to me but the problem is I am international and I just had 1 skype interview, it went very well. However, I dont think that they would accept someone just with 1 interview and I have not heard anything since the first interview (it was more than 2 weeks ago). The PI that I spoke with told me that they were gonna invite internationals to on campus interview. That is why I should have been informed about decision by this time since as other people stated, the last on campus interview is some time near mid-March.I am really wondering whether they invited internationals to NYC last year or before then!!!

I asked about it before but gonna make it more specific:d Has any international heard back from Columbia-Biological Sciences after first interview?

Are you international or domestic? Because skype interviews with internationals were made last week.

hey guys, has anyone heard back from Columbia-Biological Sciences Post-interview?
