CMB Admissions Committee

The CMB Admissions Committee includes around 25-30 faculty and 4-5 students, and each is assigned a set of applications to review, out of the total PIBS Ph.D. applicants who have a primary interest in CMB. Committee members then submit evaluations for the applications they reviewed and meet once to determine a ranked list of candidates to invite to Interview Weekends and Zoom interviews.  The committee may be called on later in the process to help make final decisions on offers after interviews are conducted, but generally this commitment takes place in the first two weeks of December.
