Anyone heard anything from the Program recently? I went to the interview but have not heard anything yet. Are they giving out offers in many rounds? Will we know if we are waitlisted? If you are having other better choices, PLEASE kindly decline the offer ASAP. There are other applicants have no offers for now.

Expected as much because I was not offered an interview.

Spoke to 2 PIs I was interested in the summer before applying on the phone. One is actively recruiting at this time. I have 3 years of research experience (1 as undergrad, 2 as technician), 2 publications and 1 poster.

Waiting for over 3 months.. finally got an email to check the portal and saw the offer, so excited and congrats to everyone!!

Rejected from interview - expected after not hearing back last week, but somewhat devastating

Notice from P.O.I. of being put on waitlist. Attended interview weekend.

"On behalf of the faculty in the Department of Plant Biology, I write to thank you for your application to our graduate program. I regret to inform you that we have chosen other candidates for admission and fellowships. We had a strong pool of candidates and the faculty chose those individuals whose qualifications and interests’ best aligned with the research focus of their labs. I appreciate your consideration of Michigan State University and wish you success in your future endeavors."
