Biomedical Science PhD Applicants (Fall 2021)
Smoothbrain replied to bacteriagirl's topic in Biology
Good luck! I actually hadn't heard anything from NYU after getting waitlisted so I just assumed it was a rejection. I feel like now that it's April more people will be committing and declining other offers. -

I got off the waitlist for NYU earlier this week but had already committed to another program. It seems like a lot of people are still deciding, though, so it's not impossible to get off waitlists! -

Finally got my rejection from Columbia yesterday. Not surprised but still a little disappointed. At least that makes my choice easy. I'm going to UCSF! -

I just got an email that I was waitlisted for NYU. Not super surprised since I have more of a developmental focus and they don't have a ton of developmental labs. -

UCSF is weird about who they admit, though. You never know! Fingers crossed! -

Oh man, that's stressful. Good luck if you're waiting to hear back from them! After my Cornell rejection I was so scared that I was interviewing badly and would get rejected from UCSF too. -

I applied for BMS and I interviewed the second weekend. Not sure if neuroscience decisions are out yet. -

I got accepted to both UCSF and University of Washington! It feels like such an immense privilege to have two amazing schools to pick from. After getting rejected without interviews from every program last year (for MD/PhD, but still), I was feeling really down about myself and my chances of ever being accepted anywhere. I decided to cancel my last interview and now I'm just waiting to hear back from Columbia. -

Got the rejection from Weill Cornell just now. I thought two of my interviews went well but maybe the others weren't impressed. Oh well. Congratulations to everyone that got an offer! -

Just got a call that I was accepted to University of Michigan PIBS! It was my favorite program so far so I'm super excited! -

I heard back about a week after the first interview weekend so I'm assuming that they decide fairly quickly. -

It might be track specific. I assume it applies to everyone honestly -

I interviewed during the second dates and they told us on Friday that they'll be making offers in the next two weeks.
