- Admissions
Committees recommendation
The application is
received by the Office of Enrollment Services who passes it on to the
Basic Biomedical Science Core Curriculum (BBSC) Admissions Committee.
This Committee overlooks and coordinates the applications to all Graduate
Programs in the Basic Biomedical Sciences of the Graduate School.
Based on the information provided in the application about the candidate's
interest, the BBSC Admissions Committee passes the completed applications
on to the appropriate (e.g., Cell Biology) Graduate Program Admissions
Committee. This committee meets on a weekly basis during the Fall
and Winter to review the applications and makes a recommendation to the
BBSC Admissions Committee based upon a balanced consideration of the
applicant's qualifications (entrance examinations scores, undergraduate
preparation, previous research experience, and letters of recommendation).
The BBSC
Admissions Committee reviews the recommendations of all Program Admissions
Committees and, after careful comparison of the applicants of the various
programs, makes a recommendation to the Director of the BBSC.
All
students will be interviewed, either in person on campus or by
telephone, prior to acceptance by the Admissions Committee.
Upon
approval of the Director of the BBSC, the recommendation to accept the
candidate is conveyed to the Dean of the Graduate School, who then
approves admissions. The Dean responds directly to the candidate.
Each applicant will receive written notification from the Dean
concerning the decision on admission via email. Notification will be
emailed as soon as possible after the receipt of a completed application.
The decision to grant a
stipend is conveyed in a letter to the applicant from the Dean of the
Graduate School.
Applicants admitted to
the Graduate School with a stipend will be required to respond by a
deadline specified in the acceptance letter in order to
reserve a place.
