@ScaggsvilleScott: Rockefeller does indeed conduct interviews, however, last year they accepted the large majority of interviewees. Admissions is very competitive, but they do not reserve spots for international students. Rather, they accept students based on the merit of their application alone, without considering citizenship, as their large endowment (the largest per capita out of any school) allows the university to fund graduate students without government funding. The housing at Rockefeller is probably the best that I have seen (I interviewed at UChicago, Harvard, MIT, Yale, UCSF, CSHL, and RU). There are a range of options, from one bedroom apartments (without roommates, unless if you want to move someone into your apartment like a significant other) to three bedroom apartments (with two roommates). Rents range from $585-815, which for the UES of Manhattan, is absurdly cheap (and that price includes internet, utilities, and furniture!). PM me if you have any questions about Rockefeller (or any other school that I interviewed at), I’d be more than happy to help! :)
