International students at harvard biostat

[goodatstats]

Hi,

 

I was wondering how many international students are generally in a cohort and how competitive their backgrounds may have been? For other schools like UW and JHU I can see student webpages and get a general idea of where people are coming from, but harvard does not have this feature.

if i recall correctly it was something like 20~30%

I would say that the typical international cohort at Harvard is a slightly stronger version of what you see at UW and Hopkins. It seems that Harvard gets a wider diversity of international students than those places, i.e. not just folks from China/Korea and India.

On a related note (sorry about the pseudo-thread jacking), how many phd students does Harvard Biostats accept each year? This information has been rather hard to ascertain from the website.

Seems like their incoming classes average in the 10-15 range.

Looks like harvard just sent out first batch of acceptances. but they are all domestic

 

are timelines different for international students?
