Thank you for your kind reply! Yeah, I'm planning to send an inquiry email next Monday. Hope it won't bring back a rej directly. It's my dream school for PhD research after all. Fingers crossed.

Does anyone has info on Minnesota BME? It is on their website that interview can be late till mid March, but I never find any result post from international student.

Thanks for sharing! I didn't successfully get in touch with the professor of interest during my application, so maybe there's just a silent rej awaiting. Anyway, thanks for your post and wish you all the best with the rest of your applications!

Thank you very much for your information! That helps me a lot. IBSC is indeed a very cold program, I can rarely find any app result of this program. I submitted my app in early Nov. and got no reply from it for this long. And may I ask whether you were assigned with any advisor in the admission letter or, there's a lab roation in the first year? Thanks!

Hello! It's really exciting to see your post. I also applied for the IBSC program at Purdue but haven't received any update yet, would you mind to sharing some information about this program, e.g., when did you take the interview and did you contacted specific professor before applying? Thanks a lot!

I'm wondering whether it is still effective to cold-email professor of interest at this point, are there any opportunities left? I only received one offer from a backup school in the first week this month, and I was asked by the future supervisor to give my final decision within two weeks. So I just send inquiry emails to several other schools about their review timeline, and luckily one of them gave me a reply soon with a fully-funded offer, without any interview. The left ones replied me that I need to continue to wait till early March or even later, and some even suggest me to consider the offers I already received if I haven't been contacted at that time. Actually, I didn't receive any update from all the five PhD programs that I mostly want to go, no rejection, no waitlist, no interview, so desperate, I'm afraid they'll come together next month. Oops, I just received my first rej when I finished these words...
