AGradStudentHasNoName Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 So what? They are going down a list maybe alphabetical and sending out invites and rejections. They seem interleaved... I haven't been rejected yet. I am picturing this bioinformaticsGirl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She responded quickly saying that all applicants will be notified by friday. And now someone has posted that they were rejected by email... So you mean there is still a chance? its killing me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is really frustrating is that the last status update was around 6pm eastern time and nothing since then. So I think we have to wait until tomorrow...

Who is turning down that invite? They have 2 weekends as well. It would have to be your 3rd+ choice AND the other interviews for your top choice would have to be those weekends lol.

desmond.bo Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Another committee meeting is not making too much sense to me, since it's a super small program. I think they have already made their choice and hopefully could keep a waitlist with mercy. But anyway I'd consider it as a rejection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I applied, I was told by a professor that this program is very unfriendly to international student and he suggested me not to apply for it but microbiology instead...
