That's why YSPH has such a low admission rate (~2%), last year they only admitted 22 students.
And given that they have several tracks, it may be around 5 per track... really competitive
I applied to Yale's EMD which had the deadline on 12/15/2022 and I'm waiting.
It's been only 5 days but the wait is hard.
Other programs I applied:
MIT CSB
Scripps Chemical and Biological Sciences
Stanford EcoEvo
WSU IID
Harvard Virology.
BSc in Biotechnology, M.Sc(c) in Microbiology, 6 years of full-time research experience with 14 publications (3 1st author)
