Thank you all for the comments. I applied to the Immunology track (and my project deals with immune response to metabolic changes), but Mount Sinai specifically mentions that you do not have to commit to an MTA until the end of the first year. I guess I'm so frustrated because I came back to academia after 3 years of industry experience, and it's exhausting to be so underpaid and work for so many hours with such low appreciation. I am a mother and the past year have been extremely hard, and I was really counting on continuing my work as a grad student to not waste another year. I think I've decided to give up! I'm too old for this ? (and I am honestly happy about it). I'll find a well-paid industry job which I'll have more interest in and that will not make me feel like I have to apologize for every decision I make. Good luck to everyone!! we are all talented and capable, don't let anything discourage you

I am honestly shocked... I expected to at least get an interview. I graduated with an engineering MS from Columbia University. I work at Mount Sinai for more than a year, have a co author publication, literally manage a PhD project by myself and serve as the lab manager. I had two PIs that literally wrote they will gladly accept me to their lab. (One of them is the one I currently work for) What else more do they want????

Just got a rejection from Mount Sinai?

Happy new year!! May the first week of Jan bring many many interviews for all ?

Sinai will send invitations next week, according to an email I got a week ago. Interviews will be on zoom for everyone, no in person. (I work there so I know the policy)

I noticed almost no one here applied to Mount Sinai's Neuro program. Is the program considered not good?

I think by next year none of the schools will be accepting GRE so I wouldn't bother retaking it

First week of Jan

Scheduled for the week of Jan

Thank you so much for the detailed response! I am counting the days till January ?hope I'll hear from them soon

They had a webinar a month ago and they mentioned interview invites will be sent out the first week of Jan. Long wait ?

Thank you! I applied, keeping my fingers crossed

I applied only to Mount Sinai Icahn School of Medicine this year (Biomedical Sciences). They said they'll send out interview invites during the first week of January.

Yep!

Anyone has insights on the program? Couldn't understand if it's considered prestigious or not. Interested in the Immunology MTA
