The program director said “it’s most likely” that majority will be waitlisted. They did say they’ll communicate rejects as soon as possible so applicants can accepts other offers they have. According to the presentation, they are interviewing 58 candidates but want the incoming class size to be ~15. So they can’t give out too many offers and not have enough spots, right? I guess that is true for most schools, just that some make you wait in silence and BCM might be more communicative. That’s my hunch!

Also, I never heard back from NYU Vilcek (neither rejection nor interview). Would have assumed silent R, but many people received R’s a while back. Anyone else experiencing this? Based on last year's timeline I guess Mount Sinai will send out updates sometime between late Feb and early March.. Also I got rejection letter from Vilcek so maybe you can check your portal

I just got rejected from BCM and I don't quite understand why, I got offers from some other schools with higher prestige though...... and they transferred my application to QCB, wtf...??

If a school wants to ensure their incoming class size, also usually enrolled rates are ~40-60%, they will send out 2x offers so here I guess they would offer ~30 applicants

I’m sorry BCM outcome is not as expected. May be they thought your fit was better for QCB based on your interests communicated during the interview? It is a bit shocking. I hope you have an offer from your top choice schools!

I don't know what's going on lol My advice: Try not to think of it as something you did wrong. Its more likely that you did great, but so did the other candidates. And they can only choose but a few. I'd say its not that they didn't like you - they probably did. It may simply be that they liked a few other candidates better, given their backgrounds and research interests.... hp0809, darklings, TangentTam and 1 other 1 3

Yeah thanks for the advice, but when you got rejected by a program you like thats such a real bummer, and the brain just keeps thinking about what I did wrong... TangentTam 1

I also interviewed 2/4 and have not heard either! My interview went okay but not the best so I have also been wondering if they already sent out all the acceptances!

Hi~ What is your track? I also interviewed with Sinai two weeks ago and contacted with one of the interviewer this week to ask about the results but she didn't reply to me. (I guess they are still discussing with the list? ) I choose immunology MTA at Sinai.

I don't know your track at Weill Cornell but I was rejected by IMP after two rounds of interview. So...actually they didn't put all the candidates on the waitlist. At least there is still hope on the waitlist.
