Results so far:

No reply by interview shortlist date, therefore probably rejected:

Sanger, Gurdon

Others - no decision, no interviews yet

I am not familiar with GRE scores required as they are rarely used outside the US. Sanger says they are “significant” in deciding who gets short listed, so should I be surprised at not making the cut, given my scores? Nothing I can do about it anyway.
