The brochure says the recipients will be notified in march, does anyone from past years know if its early mid or late march?

 

[Brany]

anyone?

 

[myt]

I'm wondering the same thing. I sent them an email, but never heard back. Anybody try calling?

How about the method of notification, email or snail mail?

 

[Brany]

I tried calling them, but it goes straight to their voicemail - Let us know if they responded to your email - Thanks

I think I was notified by the end of the first week in March or maybe early second week. The notification is by snail mail and some people said they also received a call. I did not receive a call though. Hope that helps.

I emailed them weeks ago, so I've given up that they will ever respond.....

 

[Pinkertinkle]

The rumor I heard is march 19th, so a couple more weeks to wait.

As I recall I emailed to ask as I was going out of town and was emailed back around March 15th or so. I received an overnight FedEx package 2 days later with the official letter and everything.

Good luck to everyone!

I was told March 19 as well is when letters will go out. I wonder if they will be fedexed or regular mail....?

Good luck.

What do you mean by "it's here!"

Good luck, also

 

[Vytorin77]

It's here! Good luck everyone.

Did you hear via snail mail, overnight mail, email? Nothing in my email inbox yet today... time to wait for the mail/FedEx/etc.

Good luck.

When somebody knows if it is US Postal Mail or FedEx mail, will you please post, so I will know if I should be checking with the post office or FedEx (my mail is kind of crazy). thanks!

fedex on monday for cloister they said in the email

 

[Ischemia]

Has anyone heard from the research training fellowship for med students?

This does not include Cloister. It is a separate program.

I believe they do send out by fedex, but do not know. Anyone heard for sure?

 

[myt]

I have heard from a reliable source that rejection letters starting going out on March 15 via snail mail (not fedex).

 

[Vytorin77]

Got a rejection letter today via regular US mail. Postmarked 3/15. I'm in the Western U.S. Oh well. Good luck if you haven't heard anything yet.

 

[myt]

Does anybody know what % of applicants get rejected/accepted? Just curious how competitive.

 

[bikewithadam]

Curious if anyone got into multiple programs and is turning Cloister down for one reason or another?

 

[Pinkertinkle]

69/200 is the number i get. About a third of applicants get the grant.

 

[mithms]

Yup, fedex overnight, received today (supposedly a delivery attempt made on Friday, but I didn't see the doortag). Good luck!

 

[flashMD]

I received acceptance to HHMI Fellowship via FedEx on Friday (March 16th).

Good luck all!
