After careful review, I regret to inform you that the Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences is unable to take favorable action on your application to the Program in Systems, Synthetic, and Quantitative Biology. The number of promising applicants well exceeded the number of offers of admission we can make for the 2025-2026 academic year. I know that this decision comes as a disappointment. Unfortunately, enrollment of new students is limited to a small fraction of those who are qualified for admission. I want to assure you that your application received full consideration by faculty members in the program to which you applied. We appreciate your interest in the Graduate School and wish you success in your future studies.

Hey, has any international applicant heard from molecular and cell biology department?

Had an interview/visit on Feb 13-14. Just received my informal offer with full funding from my PI. Should receive official offer in mid-march. I have a ton of relevant professional and research experience to fit with the lab of my specific PI.
