Notes
Although hope was left since some received official rejections while I received none, for Immunology PhD, it is possibly an assumed rejection judging from past records (if I did not get anything early December, possibly I am out. Very low expectations at this point since it also stated that "international admissions is extremely competitive," and it is already a very competitive program to start with). Quick status: 3.9 undergrad GPA, 4.0 Master's GPA in a well-known institute (usually top 30-50 in QS rankings). Many years of full-time research in biomedical sciences and chemistry, attended intensive summer research program abroad. One publication, one on the way, several conference talks (oral talks and posters), several awards (conference talks, academic honors). 3 LoRs from PIs who know my past and ongoing research very well.
