AnxiousnOverIt Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Can I ask why do people think international students have a different admission date than US citizens? From what I understand, the result page gives you a letter code for applicant background. I see plenty of Us (international with US degrees) getting offers in biomedical programs. Based on that, I don't believe there is a separate day where international students receive offers. Please tell me if I'm missing something because I'm as anxious and nervous as all of you. It's just that I would rather be realistic with my expectation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some interview international students separately so your application is reviewed in the same pool with other international applicants and the the entire process is mostly separated from domestic admission. Some don't care at all and treat all applicants the same way. In these cases you'll probably hear back from them at the same time as domestic applicants. However, if you're not physically in the US then they may need to make special arrangements to accommodate time zone differences and that might take time. Some has rolling admission and interview applicants in waves. Some only have one or two interview dates so everyone is notified at once regarding interview invitations and admission decision. Some has several interview dates for domestic applicants but one interview date for all international applicants. It's impossible to read into these things and make generalized prediction.

jill1997 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Is there anyone who has received an interview from UCSD BMS? I saw a lot on the result page but I feel like they are all domestic students. Great competition bewteen international ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTSW said âmost interview invitations for international students will not be sent until mid-janâ. But it really depends on school themselves, some will review applications separately and therefore have a later date my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobTheBuilder123 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Thanks for this thread! I'm an international with US degree. Applied to: - Harvard MCO - UPenn CAMB - UChicago CMB - Weill-Cornell BCMB - Yale Bio - Princeton Molecular Bio - MIT Biology - Northwestern DGP - Columbia Biology  So far got interview invites for UChicago and Weill-Cornell. Assuming I got rejected for Harvard, UPenn, Yale, Northwestern, and Princeton. Sky_china 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverontheQ Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Hi all! I've been lurking pretty heavily here (and other threads) since lord knows when, so I thought it's time to contribute:) I am an international student from India and did my BS in the US, and have been working as a research technician for about 2 years now. I applied to the following programs: - Vanderbilt IGP - UVa BIMS - Duke UPGG - University of Utah, Biosciences (Mol Bio) - Princeton Mol Bio - Stanford Dev Bio - Cornell (Ithaca) GGD - UCSD Biological Sciences - UC Davis BMCDB - CU Boulder MCDB - Stowers Graduate School Other than Stanford and Stowers, all my apps were submitted ~10 days before the Dec1 deadline. So far I have heard back from Duke, Utah, and Stowers for an interview. I'm not holding onto hope for Vandy, UVa, and UCSD since I've seen invites go out and have heard nothing from the schools. Congrats to all those who got interviews! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the second year that I am applying to NYU. Last year, I directly received a rejection letter on January 17th. This year, I am expecting at least an interview invite. I emailed the admissions regarding the status last week but I have not received any response yet! As an international, getting into NYU - Vileck Institute is extremely competitive.

Yang347 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Congrats to people who got an interview invite for BCM DDMT, I also applied for this program but haven't heard anything back yet. I emailed the admission office yesterday and they said they're still in the process of reviewing applications, hope there's still a chance!
