Awarded with E/E and VG/VG -- did anyone else only have two reviewers? Not that I'm complaining, but I found it odd. I'm honestly shocked I got awarded the fellowship-- both reviewers had several valid criticisms of my proposal that, upon reflection, I whole-heartedly agree with. I wonder how much of the process is a numbers game-- I had several undergraduate publications and a very high GPA when applying. Congrats to all HM and awardees! And to those who didn't receive the news they were hoping for, keep the faith! What two or three people think of you based on what little piece of you they could learn from your application does not equate to your potential as a scientist or as a person more than capable of influencing your field.

Ah that makes sense, thank you! I indicated in my application that I did not want to be considered for the MS program so I’m sure I’ll get my official rejection letter in a couple of days. Thank you for the update! And no need to apologize! I’m not too broken up about the rejection— I have several other PhD offers from top ten schools. I was just more looking for closure. Thanks again, and good luck with the rest of your process!

Has anyone who applied to Northwestern for a PhD in BME not heard back yet? I saw a bunch of rejections on the Results page that came through today, and because I didn't get an interview I assumed I'd get one as well, but instead I've just gotten radio silence from them. Anyone else in the same boat?
