I was accepted to both but could not visit because I am international. Which school should I choose and why?

Did anyone visit both Boston and UCI?. I would love to know about the programs from someone who's been to these places before making my final decision (I could not visit because I am international). I would also love to hear your opinion on these two schools in general.

He opted to apply for better schools in the next year and didn't accept any offers.

Absolutely agreeing on UPenn. A friend of mine got acceptance on 25th of April last year. That's so unfair of them (I can't comprehend why would they do this after charging a good amount of application fees as well)

Congratulations! GT is one of my top choices and I wish they haven't finalized all the acceptances. :) That's awesome to be accepted that early! Congrats! So apparently they are done sending accepts. (Just curious why there aren't many GT acceptances or rejects in the Results page though)

Has anyone heard from Georgia Tech BME and Wisconsin Madison? Compared to last years it is rather strange that no one has yet been contacted. I see that UCSD, Duke, have given out some interviews, but just curious if they still send out acceptances. Carnegie Mellon was like we are working on it in an email last week, but apparently not yet!

I am international and got a rejection from UW

I am an international student invited for the interview at Stanford university for the 3 day interview for the admission to the PhD in bioengineering program. I am curious to know what usually happens in a US school interview. Can someone share their interview experience on the above program so I can get myself ready with confidence. Much thanks in advance !

I heard back from a Professor at Stanford and I am really excited!!! Since I am an international student, I wanted to get some stuff cleared from you guys. I was told to expect an official invitation to the graduate interviews on March 7/8. I gather that this would be an on-campus interview. Do you have any idea whether international students are funded for interview visits? Even if so, I am worried if I would make it since getting a visa to the US is really really hard from my country Since a Professor contacted me, would I be supervised by him if I were accepted (I really like his lab group though) without getting to do lab rotations?

Thank you for the idea. I will write to the admission director! Haha, that is actually me ! I have an alumnus from my home university who is currently doing a PhD at BU. Thanks for the idea. I will speak to them!

I am an international student and received acceptance (no interview/visit) from Boston University a couple of days ago! Do you guys have any idea whether international students are given a chance to visit the university before making the decision? Any idea about travel awards?

I had the same and almost embarrassed myself shouting out loud

I got acceptance from Boston University and Its midnight where I live, I just can't wait until my parents wake up to call and share the news! Sharing with you guys to relieve me of the burden

I noticed that almost all the early results are for domestic applicants. Is it usual for international applicants to get the decisions later than domestic students?

Hello all, I have applied to several schools for PhDs under fall 2019 admission. Do all schools reply with decisions before the April 15 deadline to confirm schools that offer admission. Is it possible to receive acceptance from my dream school after the deadline to confirm with other schools that I receive admission? Is there any precaution/remedy to this situation? Or does this never happen? Thanks in advance for helping me out!

Thanks, @laveritecestla , Sure definitely, I would love to have some safe schools in my list. Suggestions are greatly appreciated. I am applying to MIT BioE.
