hsjkim Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 What's up guys! International graduate here from a non-US college and I applied to biomedical science programs and just 1 neuroscience program early in November! Surprised to see how the 2022 application cycle forums are really quiet though. I applied to: 1. Harvard BBS and BPH 2. Yale BBS 3. Princeton MB 4. Stanford Biosciences 5. Weill Cornnell Neuroscience I applied to only heavy-hitting programs which was very very stupid in hindsight. There were certain personal factors at hand that caused me to only apply to the programs above. Doing my best to internalize that I may realistically receive no interview offers or acceptance haha.

hsjkim Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Asking here since the other forums are very quiet. Do you guys think as many people as last year have applied to this year's cycle? Last year's application numbers were absolutely insane and the resulting admissions rates tanked since way too many people applied. I had friends in Stanford working under PIs for a couple of years who couldn't even land interviews given the flood of applications that came in.

Bioenglover Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I applied only to Mount Sinai Icahn School of Medicine this year (Biomedical Sciences).

darklings Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 If anyone had to send WES or something verified transcript, remember to ask the schools you applied to confirm if they have received the WES transcript and added it into your application, otherwise your app will not be under review...

hte123 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 May I ask how to know whether they have received the WES or not? The portal doesn't show it. If they have received, will they send notification? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
