Under CUNY Biology on the results page, someone got an unofficial acceptance from a POI today, saying next week official letters go out. Could be same program as us.

CUNY folks, anything??? Still waiting over here

Good luck this week and month everyone! Remember to take good care of yourself and to not let yourself get beat up.

Figures... time to light my shrine to Darwin and hope for good news out of CUNY and Hawaii. Best of luck to everyone the next few weeks, praying we all get some good news

Anybody hear anything from Columbia? I’m guessing not good given I haven’t heard anything but there’s nothing on their eeb program on the results page

Yeah always better than a rejection but still stings for sure. Stay strong, these waitlists are as good as an interview in a normal year, so be proud.

Hey guys sorry been busy. I reached our to the director of admissions for UMN, and the PI I was in contact with also knew about the situation. Essentially I was told I was not selected for the first round of interviews but my application is also not being discarded in the chance they do additional interviews. As for CUNY, I am applying with a PI in mind who I have been in contact with. Eagerly awaiting as I hope to go there if I can get in.

Not to be grim but it appears that Covid is going to have a very severe effect on this application cycle. Not to say this is unexpected but still unfortunate to say the least. Another reminder to mask up and stay distanced.

Hey everyone, so I received some baddish news. I received an informal rejection from UO, and was pretty much “waitlisted” by Minnesota. So I guess if you haven’t heard from either of those programs it’s not the best news. Has anyone heard from CUNY or U Hawaii Manoa by chance?

Congratulations! Seems EEB is talking longer than other departments I hope?

What’s up y’all. Still anxiously awaiting to hear about interviews etc. I still haven’t heard from anywhere yet, how about everyone else

Hey all, hope you guys are coping with anxiety okay. Hey if there are pretty low numbers on Grad Cafe, maybe less competition for us right? Anyways, hey, my name is Mike, and I study evolution. I just graduated this semester and finished applying to 6 programs. In order of preference, they were UMN, CUNY, UH, University of Chicago, Columbia, University of Oregon. Over the summer I built a pretty strong relationship with a couple potential PIs, so I'm hoping that and my research experience will be enough even though my gpa is barely over a 3. What about you guys.
