This is the reply I got on Friday from Tufts CMDB: "Our faculty enjoyed meeting with you and you are definitely on our list of top applicants, however we haven’t had any movement on our offer list yet, so I’m unable to give you any useful information today. If you are willing to share the names of the other programs you have offers from, I could compare and contrast the Tufts CMDB program vs those based on your research interests in the event that you are having trouble deciding whether to wait for us or not." I am not entirely sure if first round of offers have gone through and other are on waitlist or no offers have been made until now.

Are you domestic student? Yes I am! I know they were only sending out as many offers as they could accept and then putting everyone else on a waitlist so hang in there!
gradstudent3 Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Is anyone on the waitlist/has been accepted to the developmental bio program at Washington University in St. Louis?
hopefuladmit2724 Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Hi does anyone have any information on moving up the waitlist at Mount Sinai? It's my top choice and applied to the PTD MTA in the Biomedical Sciences program. Applied to 7 schools. Interviewed at UChicago and Mount Sinai. Rejected from UChicago and waitlisted at Sinai. Was not a great cycle for me and sounds like for everyone else too so sending out good vibes to all of you ❤️

NiT Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 I got the waitlist email from BU biology PhD program neurobiology track on Feb 26th, still no update yet. I was told that I was near the top of the waiting list... This might be my only opportunity. Anyone who was accepted by this program and want to decline the offer, could you please do me a favor to refer me?

I had emailed them pre application season and had got a vague response to apply for a loan and so I didn't end up applying to the programme!

But BU has many programs so I don't know if every program supports international student.

I was wondering has anyone else heard back and know what the process and timeline for this second stage of application is like? Same email received in Jan. 6th.
