Jon, I'm sorry to hear that man. Best of luck wherever you go. Show them you should have been accepted outright.

If you were accepted to Rockefeller's PhD program in biosciences, as well as Yale's, which would you choose?

although harvard's a good name you need to go with CMU on this one.

I’ve been waitlisted at my top choice PhD program, which is also one of the most highly ranked programs in the field. Apparently I’m still a relatively highly ranked candidate. Should I be hopeful? Does anyone have some stories to share regarding graduate school waitlists? Thanks

Hi all! Exciting to see everyone making decisions and doing so well. I'm torn between Yale, Harvard, and Rockefeller. I plan on focusing on immunology, Yale and Harvard having top departments in both. However, Rockefeller is such an amazing place itself that it makes this decision somewhat difficult. Perhaps the biggest difference I can draw between Harvard and Yale is the culture. From what I've heard Harvard is more competitive. I definitely felt that Yale was a very happy, inclusive community after visiting. In terms of location, I think Boston would be better, but I don't think New Haven is as bad as people make it out to be. Anyone have experience at any of these schools & can provide some insight?
