Can anyone that interviewed for NYU Vilcek please share what that experience was like? Did they say when a decision would be made?

I don't interview till early March so I'm thinking I'm in the very last round of interviews and they'll probably only select a few people after that interview week, if they have already accepted people from the Jan/Feb interviews.

Interviews late February, decision early March. But I will contact one of the professors today, maybe she can tell something more specific (doubt that)

Did you hear back yet?

Also wondering this.. has anyone heard from NYU GSAS Biology program? I haven't seen anyone on here who has 

I haven't seen posts from the previous years either regarding the interview dates. Do you have any clarity on the timeline?

Yes. BU, Northeastern and Tufts will review the applications until end of February. So nothing new

Thank you! Can this wait end already??

Are rejections on a rolling basis? I've seen a few here but haven't received one yet/heard back

I am so sorry about that :( Hope you have a positive outcome for your other schools!

I got rejected from most of my schools too. It looks like I have to succumb to doing a masters. :|||| Second year applying. 3.99 GPA/3 publications/Work at a Harvard lab/LoR's from Harvard PI's. 

This year is competitive and admissions is a crapshoot!!

BU Professor told me That this year is really unfortunate for applying. Especially for international students. I have 3.7 GPA from German University, no publications yet, but also Internship and LoR from Harvard. 
 

I have already made plans for next year application just in case. For now I’m just anxious

Yes, I heard back on December 18th. They're having their interviews between January 11-12, 2021 and January 25-26. I don't know if they have a waiting list or how it works with listing a secondary program of interest on your Duke application but I wish you all the best. Good luck with everything and I hope that it all works out!

Do you know if they send out any acceptance letter? 

I hope your interview went well. I still havent heard them.

I sent my application right the deadline so maybe thats why

Hey I interviewed with CMB at UT Austin as well. I'm an international students and I wasn't asked to submit a presentation. Haven't heard back yet. Do you know more about this presentation? Is it a bad sign that I haven't gotten asked to send one?

They held their second round of interviews on January 25th and I know that some people have already heard back with acceptances. Because it is a small program, I'm not sure that they'll be having more interviews in the future. Good luck with everything!

??? Thank you so much for the info. It seems its a small program but I thought pharmacology and cancer biology are considered the same since its in the same department. Oh well, at least I know I will be rejected then. Goodluck to you too. I hope you can get into the program you hope for
