Those who had interviews with Rice, did you guys hear back from them yet?

Yes  I did, I got an acceptance update on the portal.

Is this for Stats or Biostats? (I'm assuming biostats given that stats deadline for application is in jan?)

Same question here, are UNC-CH acceptances for stats or biostats program?

All of my applications are for Biostat phd, sorry for not specifying!

 

[UNC Biostat PhD Funding Question (Fall 2023).]

Heyhey, I just got my offer from UNC-CH PhD.  On my letter, they did mention full funding for 5 years as well as my stipend amount ( I am also domestic and a non NC resident).  I did get my offer later than you, so maybe this information wasn't ready when they sent you your offer??? 

 

(Also, are you planning on attending the visit day?)

How is your interview going? Do you know how many students got interview? I know the class size of last year is 10. I hope the interview is easy, not like Duke or Columbia, 25% passing prob.

The interview was one of the longer ones I have had, they asked a lot of in depth questions about my previous coursework rather than research interests.  Not sure about how many people received the interview, but it seems like a small-ish pool.

I just (like 2 days ago) received a formal offer from UNC-CH, as well as an interview from the University of Southern California.  UNC applicants -- don't lose hope!  It seems like they are sending out acceptances in rounds. 

 

I have not heard from U Minnesota or BU.

Hi, I also received the interview from Rice. I agree with your feeling. I did neuroimaging in my previous research, and the two interviewers both do neuroimaging. One of them come from MD Anderson.

Same... I feel like this was definitely done with purpose!  Best of luck with your interview.

I also received an interview from Rice, I have a feeling that one of the professors I will be speaking to is tailored to my research interests?  My interview is coming up... any tips?
