Do you mind sharing the PIs initials? Thank you! and congrats to your UCSD too! But sorry I don't think my PI will recruit too many students so it may be easy to find out my info if I share. My friend received an oral offer from his PIs one week ago but he still didn't receive official. paperwork always takes time. Best luck to you!

It is on their website that interview can be late till mid March, but I never find any result post from international student. They have two visit weekends, back to back. March 26-29, and April 2-5. I heard from them February, and it seems like they send out acceptances every few weeks, although I don't know if they're done or not. A polite email asking for a status update might help you out?

Thank you for your kind reply! Yeah, I'm planning to send an inquiry email next Monday. Hope it won't bring back a rej directly. It's my dream school for PhD research after all. Fingers crossed.

LPT Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 What are people's thoughts on Case Western Reserve University vs. University of Minnesota (Twin Cities)? Anyone have any insight on if one has a better reputation than the other? Like do companies look at BME PhDs from one more than the other? What's their reputations around academia? Of course this info is only a small part of my decision, but I'm curious anyway. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPT Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Dang y'all! Case cancelled their (one and only) grad school visit! Highly dissappointed as I was really looking forward to visiting (they'll do some online thing now instead). Curious, any other schools cancel their visits?

WanderingNomad Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I got an offer from MIT!

Congrats! Do you know if they sent out all the acceptances at one/has anyone else received an acceptance? I interviewed but haven't heard back yet and I'm trying to figure out if I should keep hoping or expect a rejection.

Red_Ranger Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Also got the MIT BE acceptance today! @2020bioeng I'm not sure if everyone got theirs today. Maybe doing batches? I know mine was sent to me only and there were ~40 people interviewed, so maybe its just a matter of time. WanderingNomad and AlwaysPPE 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bimblebee Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I haven't heard back from Columbia, uPenn, USC, and Northwestern. Should I just assume that I got rejected at this point? I'm contemplating just accepting one of my other offers already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
