Still waiting to hear about my application. I can absolutely understand a delay in light of current events, but the problem is not knowing if there even is a delay. Like not knowing when I should hear back by, or at least a general time frame. The MIMG program has a late application deadline (April 1), so I am expecting it to take a bit of time. However, I haven't been able to gauge the time frame for a response, as there aren't applicants who are posting about it.

To the post below (international accepted into the Genetics PhD in Baylor), would you mind specify your qualifications that enabled you to get accepted?
