My student interviewer got off the waitlist at Sinai and he said he got the email during the first week of April. For what he told me *the rumors* about the PhD waitlist, it's not impossible to get off (1-2 people/MTA) but everything is messed up now due to COVID. Also I personally would jump at the chance to go to Sinai so idk if there will be enough spots for waitlisted students. But it looks like you have three other choices at least so that's good! It's my dream to get a PhD and I'm three years out of undergrad with a good deal of research experience and Sinai is my only choice at this point...
Have you heard from Sinai recently?

I am wondering at what time would you stop waiting on the waitlist and commit to an offer you already have.
I am on two programs' waitlist . I am comfortable with one offer I had but there is one top choice ( mount sinai)that I am waiting but didn't give me update. So I am wondering at what time do you guys stop waiting on the waitlist and commit to the offer you have as Apirl 15th is coming

My thing is I am international. So I guess its a different pool. I asked them on March 30th they are still processing but didn't tell me anything other than that like waitlist size when to update etc

I feel this so hard tbh T.T I'm currently waitlisted at Columbia and Baylor, and both schools have told me that unless they see a record high of people not accepting their offers, it would be very unlikely that there'd be any movement for people on the waitlist.. On the one hand I wanna say don't lose hope, but on the other hand I'd say don't be toooo hopeful if that makes sense. In the end, it's probably (to an extent) more about the research you do and the people around you as opposed to the school you're at. Hope this helps a little, sending you good vibes :)) Fingers crossed that it all works out!
At least you have heard something from the school. Sinai has been radio slience, no waillist size, no date, no rank and no update...
I have been really want to just commit but at the same time this year people are going to more interviews than they normally do so yes I dont know at the end.

Well... I think I've reached my max frustration level. I am currently unofficially waitlisted at Hopkins (JHU) Immunology. I've been accepted to three other programs, two of which I turned down last Friday. JHU is ultimately my top choice, even though quality of life and financially offer #1 is superior. I just can't walk away from the possibility of going to Hopkins. So here I sit, reading forums and looking for any evidence that a decision is coming. JHU has a long history of stringing along applicants right up to April 15th (and beyond!) Is that going to be me - accepting Offer #1 at 11:59 PM on 4/15 when I never hear from them? ARGH!
be careful, I am in kinda same situaton. but the dealine isn't 11:59 pm April 15th a lot of my school is 3pm EST / 4 Pm est for the deadline.

Hi does anyone have any information on moving up the waitlist at Mount Sinai? It's my top choice and applied to the PTD MTA in the Biomedical Sciences program.
Applied to 7 schools. Interviewed at UChicago and Mount Sinai. Rejected from UChicago and waitlisted at Sinai. Was not a great cycle for me and sounds like for everyone else too so sending out good vibes to all of you ❤️
I sent an continued interest email on the same day of the waitlist letter and they didn't respond back. I don't even know how many people are in the waitlist but looks like a lot.... Not sure if I should hold hope on this

Anyone have any Idea when waitlist usually will respond if they can offer you a position? USC and Sinai have kept me slient on whats my rank and when I will know when I sent them email about those. I have a school that ask my decision on March 30th, trying to see if I want to keep waiting

why?
It has a designated sequencing center for NIH at UW. The Genomic program is highly ranked and well funded. berkeley isn't really great at medical field compared to other subject and fields bc its so close to UCSF.
Another point is just through the roof rent in berkeley area

Got into Berkeley CCB and UW GS and was wondering how people feel about these two programs. Strengths, weaknesses, recognition, difficulty, exclusivity, etc.
In compbio field I would chose UW GS.

Regardless, I find it odd that they started sending out decisions at the end of the day today. No point in over-stressing their process of notifying everyone when this year has been different than the past when it comes to interview dates and such. Who knows what news could come in the mail this week!
I just received a waitlist email... This is honestly killing me !

They told us they were interviewing 270 people. They have 311 PhD students I estimated between 5.5 and 6 years to complete a PhD ~53 open seats per year if nothing else changes.
Interesting. I interviewed with Sinai 2019 Fall, they said they are expecting 43~~45 pre cohort. with around 9 people from each MTS and they have 3 interview dates with 9 people each. SO i figured its 2/3 chance. I guess its become much more competitive this time around

what for? did he get back?
nah I feel its too late. With a rejection from sinai, I am holding a record of 1/8 itnerview to offer. I just seriously want to know if anyting in the interview I was so wrong

I would not stress too hard. I still haven't heard back yet either but I am still feeling good bc I know my interviews went really well. One of the PI's that interviewed explicitly stated that he made a strong recommendation to the admissions committee for me. Don't lose hope! It look like they sent out these offers late in to the business day so who knows, could be more tomorrow.
I already sent an email to ocononell

Haha that's so funny I'm doing the same thing. Looks like the last couple years they sent out post-interview rejections on the same day so at least my refresh button might survive. In 2018 they made applicants wait a week for closure
I am preparing for a rejection. but I am feeling so bad about it

do you know what track?
Its GDS. But I think they usually release result at the same time

Can't find out via phone because the admissions office doesn't pick up. Hopefully we find out this week!
One of the people I met on the other chat said he got a call from his poi for th offer and official will be soon. I think its in the hand of the admission dean now. I am feeling beyond nervous as I got nothing

Did anyone not receive any news from Tri-I CBM after interview?
If you applied PhD program I think you should email them and ask or check the spam folder . My friend who is waitlisted also got an email from the program

How did you expect that by looking at the interviewer list?
none of my POIs is interviewing me and I have talked to my POI she had timeslot on that day. BUt yeah my interview went very well basically bc we talked happily on everything other than my reserach and research interest stuff. I personally don't want to say much but I also feel its kinda unfair to me as they seems to decided who to admit before interview.
-
I kinda expected this after I received my interviewer list and how we didn't talk much about my research in the interview. But this is still hurt. Got my rejection from Tri-I CBM

Got an official rejection from DUKE after interview, and based on the people getting unofficial from USC. I don't think USC is looking good for me also... Let's wait and see
