Received the email and notified that I am waitlisted and there are over 10 applicants ahead me. This year they intend to recruit 2~3 PhD students. No interview. Congrats to those who have the chance to enter this great program and school.

No info on funding yet

I just want to follow a previous comment on the Iowa Biostatistics admission. Yes! They are definitely cheating my money and many of yours, this is the reason that they open an application pathway on SOPHAS and ask you to submit an additional fee to their system, in total 150$, my food for two weeks! Think about, if it is not in SOPHAS, who apply? If you are an applicant of 2023 or later, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO CHEAT YOUR MONEY! They also need you to submit a writing sample which is not required for most programs! What does this mean? They are playing you, making you spend time and money and not caring about you!

Got admitted by rank 5 ish biostat phd program but got rejected by this..... for a 2nd time! Just skimmed through their PhD students' files and found that all of them had BS or MS from U IOWA, literally! TBH I never heard any U IOWA admission reports from my friends or public forums. It is a mysterious program and it is justifiable to think that they only favor own students and they wanna cheat money from SOPHAS. Sigh. I never get mad any programs regardless of the resutls but this! Final comments: RNM tuiqian!

I don't understand why these schools don't like good students. They shouldn't open an application on SOPHAS to cheat my money. They just need a system for their own students.
