No, I actually turned down my offer last week and accepted at another institution where I got off the waitlist.
You mean you turned down the offer from UMD last week and they still sent you offer last night?

When will you decline this offer from UMD? Could you please do me a favor to refer me to the graduate office? All my other offers rejected me and this my final opportunity...

I got an offer last night from UMD BISI MOCB. I am an international student
Congrats! I still have not heard anything back. So, are you gonna take this offer?

I think that's definitely possible. It seems like the University had some issues with state funding, so the number of people they accept is changing. This might have impacted international students even more than usual.
Hi did you hear anything new from UMD?

I did get a new email regarding being on the waitlist, but all it said was that someone from the program would be answering our questions in our private zoom meetings. So I'm gonna assume that my question regarding waitlist ranks/ pools vs ranked waitlists will not be answered until my Mar. 29th meeting.
Hi did you receive rejection letter from UMD?

I interviewed at BU and got the vibe that there are a lot of politics between the departments. In my current program, 3 of us interviewed for 3 different programs there and got weird vibes from them.
Hi, you applied to BU neurobiology right? Have you heard anything from them? I got the waiting list email end of Feb.

Hello there! You're on the creative writing thread, but it's nice to see someone else enthused about Maryland! I'm on the waitlist, but it's my dream school.
Hi, did you get email telling you about the waitlist? I have not heard anything from them...

what is the status of your online application portal? I heard that, if it’s under program review,that means the application is still under review. If it’s under graduate school review, that means the program is reviewed and in the process of funding

I actually heard the same thing. That was how I interpret, too.
I’m thinking maybe we were interviewed by the same person..... have you emailed the professor asking for update? Do you think there might be a possibility that offers for international students have not been sent out yet?

Did you apply to MOCB? It's my understanding that acceptances from a single professor are really only common for the BEES concentration area, so I'd be interested to hear the concentration area you applied to and who you talked with. Even with an unofficial offer from a professor, these decisions are made by an entire committee, so while a professor's support is helpful it's not the end all be all. UMD also isn't making more offers than they can fund, so you may be on a waitlist or something.
Yes I applied to MOCB. But the professor said she was on behalf of the committee to interview me, and told me that I was on the top list, no more interview, and an early offer might be possible. I really consider this as an unofficial offer...... now I don’t know whether I misunderstood something or not

I applied to BU medical school program, so I am not sure of biology program in BU.
For UMD, I am in the same situation as you. I guess we are all waitlisted.
During my interview with UMD on Jan 22nd, the PI, on behalf of the committee, told me that I was on their top list, no more interviews, and an early offer might be possible... I also emailed her two weeks ago for update and she replied me”I think the office has only sent domestic offers. I will follow up with them”.
Actually I consider this as an unofficial offer... but now I become to think about the possibility of being waitlisted..omg
how was your interview? Did the professor implied anything about unofficial offer?

Has anyone else who already interviewed for Boston University - Biology gotten a final decision back yet? Or any word on when we might hear back a final decision?
Hi I got a waitlist email on Feb 26th. Did you hear anything from BU-bio?

Hi I finished BUSM PiBS program interview on Monday. There was three interviews, and the rest of them was just information session. One professor asked me very detailed questions related to the Genetics part of my current research (RNA-seq, scRNAseq). The other two were very easygoing. Introducing their research to me rather than me speaking to them.
PiBS program itself was very nice, have a lot of research funding. Program for NEIDL was super cool (BSL4 lab facility). There were about 900-1000application, invited 140 people for the interview. They are going to select about ~25 people. Stipend for upcoming year is set for $36,782/year. No TA.
Please let me know if you have more questions and good luck on your interviews
Hi I also applied for BU, but it’s the biology PhD program. Do you know anything about this program?

For international student, admission is little different from domestic students. I already had an interview in January. They said there is no more interviews for us. We might be in the same group yesterday and probably today since I applied to MOCB track. I talked to several professor that I am interested for their research via emails. Because my research interest is both molecular and computational, I am also talking to the director of CBBG today. I reach out to him yesterday whether I can talk to him.
I did not expect that many people to come for the recruitment event yesterday. Hope for the best. Please let me know how the result come out for you. We might go to the same program
Hi Irene, I am also an international student. I was interviewed by one professor for UMD BISI program on Jan 22, and the professor gave me an unofficial offer during the interview, and I could choose not to be interviewed by more professors. Is it the same case as you? I have not received the official offer letter yet. Are you the same? I saw two offers posted on grad cafe last week and two weeks ago, and my email to Winkler(the coordinator for MOCB）got no response. I am even not sure if I could get the final official offer, because the whole process seems too smooth...

I got the waiting list email from BU neurobiology phd program at end of Feb and I did not get any update after that, even a rejection letter. I just called the office, telling me that they are still in the process of reviewing applications! And I could hope for a result in a week. I know that this program only takes about five new students every year. How can they be such slow in the process? I can not imagine.
