Hello everyone, I'm a Molecular Biology undergrad from Mexico, and I want to apply to the PhD program at Rockefeller this year mainly because I'm interested in the research done in the lab of Dr. David Allis. I looked at all the information in the Rockefeller website and it looks like a wonderful program, with full student support and a fantastic faculty. I was wondering if any of you knew anything about the admission statistics and life at Rockefeller. Are the students happy there? Even considering the great things about Rockefeller, a hostile place full of people who don't like seeing fellow students succeed is very detrimental to the work done in a lab. Anything you could tell me about Rockefeller University would be very welcome!!
Best,
Alexa

Ps:- Rockefeller is an amazing place to study though some people say it's more of a post-doc's haven than a PhD student's. They take on more international students each year than some publically funded unis in America which is a plus point. Competition for the programme is pretty stiff though so you might want to make sure you're qualified to apply. Good luck!(up)
