I still haven't heard anything back after the recruitment event. If you are having other better choices, PLEASE kindly decline the offer ASAP. There are other applicants have no offers for now. Thank you in advance.

It's been more than 2 months since the interview. Did anyone receive any admits ? Kindly let me know if you have received it and when did you recieve it ?

Rejected post-interview. I was waitlisted for a while and I reached out today and was told to consider accepting other offers. 17 students were interviewed for only 4 slots.

No Interview, generic rejection

Already accepted elsewhere

Did anyone else on the waitlist hear anything back yet? Or also radio silence?

TTPB (Microbiology)...honestly, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Despite ASU's talk of inclusivity, I haven't found that to be the case (neither now, nor, for the most part, with the exception of one PI, during my undergrad there). I had 11 years research experience, two publications, poster presentations and abstracts, almost done with masters, postbacc at Yale, sterling letters of rec, an REU, letter from my POI who I worked for during undergrad, four ASU faculty and a Yale professor who I did research with and designed my own project under, etc. and was still rejected. Not even waitlisted. I can personally tell you that a lot of politics go into admissions and that info was from a professor emeritus there. I found a smaller program that honestly has a better academic/ research reputation that's more inclusive and if you applied to ASU with great stats and still got that kind of a response, I'd recommend the same thing. They also are apparently headed toward quite the funding crisis and I was encouraged actually by the director of bio and society not to apply again bc funding issues were likely to persist, although that's only a small piece of why I didn't get in. There are other programs out there that are better, less competitive, and less likely to gatekeep I'd recommend.

Never heard from this program before this email.

I was informed that I am on the waitlist after the recruitment event. If you were accepted but plan on going somewhere else please let them know!!

Accepted fellowship offer!

I haven't heard anything back since the interview day. Does it mean that I am waitlisted or rejected? I asked the coordinator, and the only words she had are ''we are evaluating applications through May 1st." I mean this is a bit crazy. Why is it so hard to tell me whether I am waitlisted or rejected? If anyone know anything about the review process. Please leave a message here. Thank you so much!

After an almost 8 week wait after the interview, finally got admitted! Very excited to attend!

To the post above about cancer biology at Stanford - I have heard back via email that I am waitlisted. Congrats on being accepted. Will you accept the offer or when do you think you will decide where to go?

Have any other admits who accepted heard anything from the program since?

Waitlisted mid-February (that's my post below). Informal acceptance from POI, formal letter to come soon. Yay!

Are any of those that received an offer considering to reject it? I am thankful for any reply. I am currently on the waitlist and this is my number one program and it would be a dream for me to attend!
