I'm assuming with the terrible storms in Texas we can be looking at Texas decisions being delayed by an extra 1-2 weeks. Applied: Columbia SoM (Biosciences), Boston University SoM (PiBS), University of Texas Medical Branch (M&I), UCSF (TETRAD) Accepted: 0/4 Rejected: 2/4 Waitlisted for Interview: BU PiBS I haven't heard back from UTMB GSBS or M&I. I expect to hear back within the next two weeks--hopefully by this Friday. __Wreckingball__ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacobellextensioncampus Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Does anyone know what's up with Harvard Bioengineering? I think their decisions should be coming out soon but it seems like no one has even been interviewed yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope NYU works out, if not then it's no grad school for me (unless being on the waitlist for BU actually means anything). Hopefully things work out for you too! I am in the same boat too. Haven't heard back at all from Harvard. So at this point if there's no interview call probably means a rejection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Email to check app portal for decision) nothing from Harvard yet..probably soon Weird that they don't just reject everyone all at one especially at this time in the application process. But thanks for the reply! I hope you get into other schools! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For myself, I'm just seeing the no reply as a rejection but still would like to have an actual update from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both top-tier (especially for Immunology). The cost of living in San Francisco is crazy. UPenn has a great campus but if you prefer to live in a moderate climate, then I'd recommend UCSF. So you could really decide based on living conditions as program-wise they are both top-notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I would first contact PIs to make sure the ones you like are actually taking rotation/permanent grad students. Then weigh the pros/cons of opportunities and development. I would also say look at the cities. I think UCSFs $42k stipend is tough for the really high cost of living. The program and college is important but since you'll be living there for 5-6yrs, the city and cost of living matters too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Need_Coffee Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Have waitlisted applicants been informed of their position on the waitlist? I heard it's possible to come off the list after the 15th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devcby Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Accepted to Princeton molecular biology (based on results it seems they sent all acceptances and rejections today?). Also was rejected from Harvard BBS pretty much at the same time (knew it was coming). Very excited for Princeton will probably be attending (unless I potentially get into Stanford then idk). Incredibly fortunate to have these offers. MoronPhDApplicant, Blood Type C8H10N4O2 and ProspectiveGrad21 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__Wreckingball__ Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Contacted UTMB today, they said "The admissions committes are still reviewing applications, and most decisions are made by mid-April". That being said, some offers appear to already have been made. BostonShaker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking with a UTMB professor a couple weeks ago and they suggested that the adcom sends acceptances all the way up to April 15, often very close to April. __Wreckingball__ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm finding that to be especially frustrating since I was just offered an NIH post bacc that wants a decision within a week. Probably going to contact a PI or adcom to get a better idea.

I’m in a surprisingly similar situation with the NIH IRTA postbac. I totally feel ya. Because, of course, I’d rather a PhD. __Wreckingball__ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which PhD program at UTMB did you apply to?
