Virtual Student & Faculty Discussion Panel

The Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology will be hosting a live faculty and student panel on Tuesday, November 19.

The panel plans to spend most of the time answering audience questions in a group setting, although some time will be set aside at the end for optional one-on-one private discussions. We welcome any and all questions you might have about the program, application process, life in Rochester, etc. All attendees will receive an application fee waiver!

When: Tuesday, November 19, 2024 from 4:00pm - 5:30pm (Eastern Time)
Meeting link: Expired | Zoom Meeting ID: Expired  Passcode: n/a

Application fee waiver: If you attended our November 19 event, email karin_gasaway@urmc.rochester.edu your applicant reference ID number and the display name you used for the Zoom meeting immediately after you submit the application. Do not enter any payment information, because we cannot process refunds. The application fee will be waived manually.

After clicking the Zoom link, you will enter a waiting room until the event begins. Please feel free to turn on your camera, but we ask that you keep your microphone muted unless you have a question.

Please disregard the outdated video references about the GRE requirement and PhD stipend amount:

• GRE scores are no longer used by the Admissions Committee in evaluating applications to any of our programs. If GRE scores are submitted, the committee will not look at them or take them into account when making admissions decisions.
• The 10-month PhD stipend for the 2025-2026 academic year (September 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026) has increased to $28,611.
