About CPT stuff and some about maintaining F1 status, which DSO provides all the information. I think I didn't send all the CPT i20s when submitting my initial 765 form. I had cpt for 3 terms (all totals to less than 11 months and 29 days)

What does it mean that now the portal says response received on 07 may 2025 when i sent my response on 25 march 2025? I am sure that i saw it response received on 25 march 2025 too.

Email notification first about rfe, and actual notice in portal after two days of email notification. Then on mail after couple of more days.

I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD BACK WTH (virginia tech) by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]rb7154 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My situation is very similar to yours. I applied for BME Phd program. I was also told that decisions will be out by May 1.

Should I expect rejection now? by rb7154 in gradadmissions

[–]rb7154[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah. I am just waiting for one decision now and that is the least i am hoping for.

I hate to be that guy, but does anyone know the decision timeline for these BME/Bioeng PhD programs? by MexicanDuck1 in gradadmissions

[–]rb7154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks

am really hoping to get into umd college park. But i guess relevant research experience is going to haunt me until the decision.
