Graduate School Admission Results

2 pubs, 3 years research experience "Competition for our program was especially intense this year. Consequently, we are not able to offer you an interview for acceptance into our program."

Thank you for your application to The David Rockefeller Graduate Program at The Rockefeller University. Competition for our program was especially intense this year. Consequently, we are not able to offer you an interview for acceptance into our program. Regrettably, every year we are unable to accept many qualified candidates due to limited space and resources. We are grateful for your interest in our program, and wish you every success in your future endeavors. All best wishes. Sincerely, Dean of Graduate and Postgraduate Studies Vice-President for Educational Affairs

I am disappointed in this rejection. They are really missing out.

1.5 year undergraduate research, 1.5 years post-graduate research, no publications. 2 strong letters, 1 average letter. Submitted application a few minutes after deadline and did not contact any faculty. Not a surprise but still a bummer.

Received email stating competition was particularly intense this year for limited space and resources

Wow. Didn't expect this. MS degree in biotech with two publications.
