Not surprised as I didn’t get an interview in December. Generic rejection email to check website. Brief stats: 4.0 Master’s GPA in a quite well-known university, one paper, one on the way, many years of research in the biomedical field and chemistry. Went to summer research programs abroad. Many symposiums/conferences, talk excellence awards, and honors during undergrad. This year seemed competitive, especially as an international applicant. Not too surprised at this point.

Master of science 3.88 GPA. 1 year Research experiences. 2 co-author pub. Epidemiology. I am disappointed.

4.00 Master’s in CMB, co-author pub, 3 yrs research experience. Got all interviews elsewhere, including Harv/Stan. LoR writer submitted letter a day late, maybe a factor or just different criteria they are looking for. Notified via email and redirected to the application. Good luck to everyone during this interview season!

Received an email to ask me check the status online. This email was categorized as promotion email in gmail.

Our selection process for the NYU Sackler Institute of Graduate Biomedical Sciences PhD Program has come to a close and, unfortunately, at this time we cannot offer you an interview for our program. We receive a large volume of applications and can only admit a fraction of the well-qualified applicants. This year was particularly competitive, with an increased number of applications.

Do they consider international students, at all??? Crushed..

Email from them saying a change in status from the application website is available.

Asked to check the status page through email. Very excited!

My interview isn't until the last weekend in February, though I know that they have some earlier interviews.

I'm an international student and applied to the 'Genes, Cells and Organisms' cluster. I applied in last week of November. Did any international student who applied to this cluster got any interview call?

Inquired about status of my application or if all invites were sent out. Response is as follows: "Thank you for your continued interest in the Sackler Institute. Once a decision has been regarding your application, you will be notified."
