Do faculty members accept students directly into their laboratories?
No, the admission decision is made solely by the Admissions Committee. After students matriculate to the program, they complete three laboratory rotations during their first year, enabling them to explore which laboratory and faculty mentors best match their interests, and allowing the faculty to ascertain whether students might make a positive contribution to their research program.
