The DBBS PhD Admission season is winding down. We received over 900 applications for 80 positions in our entering class. We interviewed over 215 applicants during the 7 week interview season. We are very excited about the outstanding individuals who have been offered admission and hope many will decide to become part of the Wash U- DBBS family.

This is a very exciting time in the next stage of your life. You are finishing your undergraduate work and perhaps taking that last spring break trip. The interviews are over and you are now making a decision of where to spend the next 5-7 years of your life. Many of you have received several offers of admission. If you Google “how to choose a graduate school”, you will find many sources of information. In the end, you will need to make the decision that is best for you based on the factors that are the most important to you. April 15th is the deadline for informing all schools if you are accepting or declining an offer of admission. If you have any questions about DBBS as your make your decision, please contact me at rineyr@wustl.edu.

Sincerely,
Rebecca Riney
Director of PhD Admissions and Student Affairs

Where in the World is DBBS Recruitment??

The Recruitment Season has begun!! Last week, several staff and faculty members spent the day in Bethesda, MD recruiting prospective PhD, MD and MSTP students at the NIH. It was the first Graduate and Professional School Recruitment Fair ever held at the NIH and was highly successful! We're looking forward to going back next year.


The Sunshine State?? I don't think so! Rain, Rain and more Rain is more like it! Two DBBS Staffers spent 3 days in Orlando, FL recruiting at the National Society of Collegiate Scholars Convention. While it was raining outside, DBBS was inside, recruiting fantastic undergraduate leaders for our PhD, MSTP and Summer Research Programs.
