Have all Yale BBS applicants been notified already? It seems there have been a ton of interview notification and rejection results released, but one other person (international applicant) and I haven’t received a notification. To clarify, I’m particularly applying for the chemical biology program through BBS BQBS.

Also an applicant here! It's kind of unique since chemical biology is usually listed as a research area instead of having its own department.

I applied for chemical biology and I was not interviewed. Some people mentioned they were contacted by potential PI, but I had not established contact with any PI during the application process and was contacted by the chair instead.

Is anyone else currently waiting for post-interview results for TPCB?

I haven't heard anything as well.

Hello! I was a Japanese Fellowship finalist. Not sure if I can be of help, but feel free to message me!

Hey there! I'm also a May 2020 college graduate and also a finalist for a 2020-21 Fulbright Open Study/Research in the East Asia region. I think what helped out my application the most was developing a theme around your experiences in your essays. Specifically for the PS, I centered my essay around how my childhood interest in foreign language and sciences shaped my professional goals, highlighting my research experience and foreign language study to show how that interest has stuck with me until now. Since I applied for research, what I had to convey in my SoGP might be slightly different from yours; what I did was made it clear why my research is important, why I had to be in the specific country I chose, what I aimed to do by the end of the grant, and what I would do after Fulbright. Hope this helps!
