It's common to ask for a status update but I might be wary about explaining that you already have an acceptance. Just say something like you really want the opportunity to attend there and you are asking for a status update.

You're welcome!
I contacted them about 12 days ago. One of my friends is a PhD candidate at Ohio State University and told me OSU reviews the domestic applicants earlier (like many other institutes).
One of the University of Virginia professors also told me that they evaluate Americans first!

If you're a domestic applicant, you are probably being waitlisted. I've sent emails to:
University of South Dakota
University of South Florida
Florida State University
Ohio State University
Rutgers University
University of Virginia
University of Louisville
University of Kentucky
P.S.  I'm an international applicant in Biomedical or biomolecular fields

After having received 5 rejections and waiting for one more university decision.All I can say this process is tough.Wishing everyone all the best.

Is there anyone who still hasn't heard from UNC BBSP? I don't know if they just have a lot of rejection emails to send and that's because I didn't receive one with everyone else (but I'll at some point) or if not receiving one actually means something now, like a wait-list or something. 

Hey, no news is good news! I hope you get an invited, good luck!

UNC BBSP, Vanderbilt and Case.
 
 
 

nothing here either, but at least 3 out of the 6 programs I applied to are still reviewing the profiles, from what I've heard here on gradcafe. 

Emailed UNC BBSP and they replied:
Our admissions committees are still in the process of reviewing applications.

Right you were! Heard back from graduate program coordinator, she mentioned that my application had been reviewed favorably and they will get in touch to schedule an interview in the next two weeks!!! 
I reckon I heard back since I asked about the status of my application, but since she mentioned they will be coordinating interviews sometime during the next two weeks, I suspect other internationals might hear back during that time. Hope this helps someone! 

Oh, same situation here. It's summer break in Brazil so I have a lot of time to not only spend looking at those things but also to be anxious and not being able to stop thinking about these applications hahaha I mentioned  in my first comment that the only program that I applied which has sent interview invites to internationals is the UNC BBSP (and it is not even the specific area I applied for), so I imagine there's a pattern there. I wish there was a way to only see the international applicants updates. But let's hope all the universities are reviewing our applications in January! ?

I have too much time on my hands so I did a sweep of the results page from this year's applications for Vanderbilt and UMich (because I applied here, and these two were the only two programs with enough posters for something resembling a data set) and no international student has reported any updates. I know international applicants are few in number and most probably don't access this website, but I am taking that to mean they haven't gotten to us yet ✌️

Hey all!
International applicant here that also hasn't heard back from anywhere.
I've applied to NYU Sackler Biomedical Sciences, Johns Hopkins CMM, Penn State Biomedical Sciences, and Roswell Park Cancer Sciences.
Hopefully we find out more by the end of this week! I'll let you all know any news I hear. Hopefully no news is good news indeed!
 

Yale BBS wrote to me this message:
Thank you for your message.  The Yale Biological and Biomedical Sciences office will be closed beginning Monday, December 23 and will reopen on Thursday, January 2.  Please note the following important information:Our application deadline was December 1. Although we are accepting late applications until January 2nd, we cannot guarantee that late submissions will receive full consideration.Applicants residing in the US will be invited in December or very early January for on-campus interviews that will take place in February.  Overseas applicants will be invited for Skype interviews at a later date.
From Penn State Biomedical Sciences
All international applicants currently residing outside of the US will be reviewed in early/mid January and decisions regarding Skype interviews will be made at that time.
From NYU Biomedical Sciences
Thank you for the follow up. While we have sent some invitations to interview, we have not sent any acceptances or rejections. Our interview dates are January and February, so you could hear from us anytime between now and the end of February.
Relax guys and take it easy.

@verdandi, I am also waiting on Vanderbilt from your list, along with every other place I applied to. I've emailed Vanderbilt regarding this, and if they respond I'll pass it on to you!  Getting quite jittery, but here is to hoping no news is good news for all of us! 
In case its of any help, a poster on a different forum mentioned they got in touch with Penn State, and the reply more or less confirmed that they review intl applicants later on in mid Jan. Perhaps this is true for other programs as well. You can see the post here- 
 

I am so sorry to hear that... Please don't let that shake your confidence in your abilities, skills, and reasons for applying. Keep your head up and acknowledge that you gave it your all and more importantly had the courage to try. 
P.S. Where are you from? Neurolog is a word from my language so I was just wondering
