Very insightful and extremely helpful comments! I wish I could see this earlier, but luckily I do avoid some programs as they are famous for "not taking international students". I would add that grad school admission is pretty random (as I felt at this cycle), and what you can really do is to build connections from your current mentor. Try to inquire POI who has been working with your current mentor, or in any form of collaboration. That would probably help! I would also add some programs here: CBB at USC and Biomedical PhD at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Based on USC's website, they do take many Chinese students. The later, though titled as Biomedical, they have exciting training area like Genetics and Data Science, and they also have another new training area- AI and technology...Sth like that. And the school is expanding and taking lots of PhD students. I actually found it's a really great program when I went to their interview day. Plz correct me if I made some mistakes in my comments. For me, it's my first cycle and hope my comments help!

Has anyone heard back from Brown Computational Biology? I saw an interview on Jan 25 but I haven't received anything...?
-
At least you got an interview! Many of us just received direct rejection on Jan 21? Good luck with your applications!
-
Thank you for your info! Guess they are done with sending out interviews...

Has anyone heard back from USC QCB?? Any info on interviews?
-
I think I saw it from last year's forum(?). Also some from last cycle told me that UPenn sent out interviews separately for domestic and international students.

People haven't heard back from USC gave me a lot of Hope!!!

Hi， don't given up yet! I also haven't heard back yet from USC and Brown. I saw some people got invite but given my info from my friend in USC CBB program, they are likely got informal interview from PIs. Her PI told her the first round of interview will be online, and I don't know does this mean there is another round(or there isn't), and haven't got info on if they've sent out all invites. I've done my undergrad and master at USC, working with a PI in CBB(but not in committee and he's on the leave) for a year and half, but I haven't heard back from the program also. I'm the one who's deeply hurt yesterday Also, haven't heard from Brown yet. I also got assume rejection from Duke and rejection from Tri-I. I feel you. Don't give up, let's still keep an eye on Brown and USC. Good luck!!!

Thanks zzl! Good luck with your application!

Last year they have separate batches of interviews for domestic students and for international students. I saw international students get interview invites at the end of January last year, though they don't take many international students. So I guess if you are an international student like me, you can still keep hope.

Does anyone know if Duke CBB has sent out all of the invites for interview?
-
Yes but I already have a master so I don't want to pay the tuition ?
-
I also applied and haven't heard back yet!

Thanks for those who said they got rejection from Tri-i-makes me not alone. Congrats to those who got the interview and hope we can get more invite later on!
