2025 Biological/Biomedical Sciences PhD Applicants and Admissions Results

[unzipyourgenes]

With the Dec 1st deadline rapidly approaching, I started this thread for Bio/Biochem/Biophysics/Molecular/Cell/Dev/Cancer Bio and other related PhD programs (I believe there is already a Neuro thread). Please feel free to share anything from results or responses in the coming weeks (share the program name and any other relevant details) or complain about the process in general! You're also welcome to post applicant stats (research experience, GPA, domestic/international, number of schools you applied to, etc.) as well - best of luck everyone, and congratulations for even hitting submit on these applications!!

I applied to 8 PhD programs in bio/bioe this cycle! I have 0 clue what will happen but I've been a tech since graduating last year and have quite a bit of experience now.

Fingers crossed for us :)

Hi everyone! I received an interview with Penn BBCB earlier this afternoon (12/12 at 2 PM EST) - super surprised to hear back so early! I have a 3.7 undergrad GPA, ~2 years of full-time research experience (Currently in my second year of a post-bacc at a T10), and 3 poster presentations (won one national award) - mostly interested in structural biochemistry. 

Still waiting to hear back from like 10 other programs lol, but fingers crossed we'll get some emails next week!
