Cornell University

BBS, Biological And Biomedical Sceiences, PhD (F22)

Rejected via E-mail on 11 Feb 2022

Note

I was rejected after the interview. Very disappointed. I went through so many interviews (one panel and five individual interviews), and all of my interviews went super well. I have no clue why they made this decision. Also, they asked us to arrange the time with the professors, which took me a lot of time to do the email communication. All the interviewees would have different interviewers. I totally don't know how they make a FAIR decision under this circumstance. They recruited A LOT OF people for the interview process. Anyway, it was a very disappointing experience, and this program gave me a horrible impression. My understanding is that they have pre-selected the persons they want to admit before the interview. Other people are just invited to add to the number. :-)
