The rockefeller university

As the Rockefeller community says goodbye to the graduating class of 2012, a new group of talented students is set to join the campus in the fall. Approximately 700 applications of potential new students were received this year, and after much deliberation by the admissions committee, that list was narrowed down to 87 acceptances. Of those, 19 have enrolled in The David Rockefeller Graduate Program this fall and one has deferred admission until 2013.

The 2012 entering class includes eight men and 11 women from 10 countries: Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Greece, Korea, Myanmar, Romania, Turkey and the United States. Their alma maters include: Bogazici University, Brown University, Cornell University, Goucher College, McGill University, Monash University, Mount Holyoke College, Peking University, Rutgers University, University of Athens, University of Buenos Aires, University of Chicago, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, University of Pittsburgh, University of Richmond, University of Texas at Austin, University of Ottawa and University of Washington.
