I got invited to 2 interviews out of 14 schools. I completely bombed my first interview at Sinai. I had so much trouble explaining my own research. ?
Sinai interviewed 270 people for 53 positions. People assume that they accept twice as many as they need to account for people accepting other offers so we're twice as likely to get denied after the interview than we are to be accepted. This year is different because of the virus so it might be even worse odds if the labs have less funding and Sinai could be especially affected by that because their stipend is so high.
Where are you getting that 53/270 figure? On their site, they report total grad applicants as masters + certificate + phd as one group. Typically if they have ~50 matriculated, I would imagine they accept closer to 2x.

I am preparing for a rejection. but I am feeling so bad about it
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.

Through email! Doesn't seem personalized, but as someone posted above it sounds like one person is making the final decision and sending out offers, so maybe it'll take a while. And thank you and good luck to you too!!
When did you interview? I was 2/11-2/12. Currently refreshing my email like a madman.

I was hoping friday or monday, but looks like it'll be another day of waiting and refreshing.

Its GDS. But I think they usually release result at the same time
Ahhh okay. I wouldn't worry too much as no one has yet to update the results page just yet, and sinai admits a good amount of students each year. I would expect at least some activity on that page if decisions were sent out already.

No concrete idea but more than likely this week. They finished meeting last week per my PI but it's up in the air. Lol I've been refreshing my email constantly and keeping my ringer on ALL the time to just ensure I don't miss anything.
Can't find out via phone because the admissions office doesn't pick up. Hopefully we find out this week!

Anyone know when Mount Sinai is sending decisions out?

!It was 15-16 days after the last interview for the 2019 and 2020 cycles. It'll probably be either tomorrow or Monday.
I see. I've also been calculating the days for previous application cycles. I hope it's tomorrow!

Has anyone that interviewed heard back yet from any of the PhD programs? Anyone know when they plan on sending out decisions?

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!
