No invite = silent rejection. 4.5 years of research experience in academia, strong LoRs from people affiliated with the program (professors, alumni). Second author publication, 2 grant submissions, and 5 poster presentations (mix of local and national). Honestly after a certain point I think an applicant can be as qualified as they can possibly be as a researcher short of actually having a PhD and they still won't accept you. Not sure what they're looking for... total crap shoot.

Emailed the graduate admissions director who said that all invitations for the BBS program were already sent yesterday. He told me that there was a record number of applicants this year (1300) which made the application selection process all the more competitive. Bummed out but it is what it is :/

They indicated that ~90% of interviewed candidates will receive offers, with the rest of candidates being waitlisted. Crazy!

I am overjoyed. There is hope after a lower undergrad GPA. 2 years undergrad experience, 2 years postbac in a high impact and well known lab.

Asked admissions if interview invites were already sent and they replied that they were. Was my preferred choice but that's life.
