@stacyZ Congratulations on the great offers! Do you remember how long it took for UTH-MD Anderson to get back to you after your interview weekend? I just had mine this past week and I'm pretty anxious lol

I received a call from the dean on Friday (a week after the interview), so I guess if everything works the same for you guys, you will received a call also from the dean tomorrow afternoon/night. Don't be nervous! Hope to hear something good from you soon  

[Does it even matter?]

@stacyZ Thanks for the head's up! I received the call on Wednesday itself

I don't remember I picked a program in my application and I think they reviewed applications all together...I interviewed during Feb 25th-27th and received admission a week after...So guys, any idea which college is better, MD Anderson/UTH or Baylor college of medicine? I can't really make a decision since they are both in Houston.....Thanks!!!

And congrats to those who just got admissions!!!

Hi! Have you decided whether you are choosing MD or BCM? I got into UTH GSBS for their MS in Biomedical Science program and I am headed there..

Hi ! I'm a fellow student from Turkey as well. Didn't you hear anything from Harvard and Princeton or Brown? You have such stellar scores and it just puzzled me so much. Did they just ignore because you're an international student?

[shovonreza]

Hey, I got accepted at brown and got rejected from Harvard and Princeton , it's generally difficult for international students to get accepted, 3 Americans for 1 international, also I don't thInk I had enough research experience for Harvard
