  1. I'm starting this fall pursuing PhD in MCB, and I also did my undergrad here at UIUC. So... you guys can ask me questions if you want
  2. 2 weeks wow, I suppose it's way better than none...
  3. Okay so maybe this is a dumb question... But PhD students don't really have winter breaks and summer breaks, do they? I'm an international student, and now Im a little bit freaking out that it's not possible to go home in the next 5 years:(:(:(
  4. Hey guys, so my grades for 2015Fall just came out, and it seems like I did pretty well last semester, increased my overall GPA by about 0.1 Most of the programs I applied haven't emailed me their results yet. I wonder if I should update my transcript? Is it even possible? I wasn't really happy about my grades before last semester, so updating transcript may increase my chance of getting in to the programs I guess? Thanks!
  5. I saw in the survey that someone got interview invitation from WashU!!! Are they sending all invitations or just a few? Any body knows?
  6. Oh gosh, in a week!!!! I'm going crazy... Waiting is such a torture
  7. Any one knows when Northwestern Neuro program sends out invitations?
  8. Anyone knows when does Northwestern send out invitations?

  11. Hey guys, I have a question about interviews...How are these invitations sent? Via phone? Email? I saw in the result forum that either can happen. Because I am not gonna be in the states over winter break, and was worried if they send invitations via phone, which I would not have access to...
