Hello, I'm just wondering if anyone heard from UC Irvine? I have yet to hear anything regarding the status of my application. I see that there's been a couple acceptance and rejections posted back in early Feb. Would anyone advise against me emailing the POI about my application?

I was 23 when I started and will be finishing this year at the age of 25

Thank you the input! i just emailed my remaining programs to let them know of my recent publication along with an updated CV.

Hi, So I know that most of my programs have already sent out interviews but I haven't heard anything. Would it be a good idea to update them that the manuscripts that I listed on my application is now published (2nd author)? Also, would this kill 2 birds with one stone, by indirectly checking up on the status of my application? Thanks.

Has anyone heard from Stony Brook SUNY, Rochester SUNY, or Boston U (Behavioral Neuroscience)?

Can anyone else confirm how likely this is?

Hi Guys, looking at the results page and what people have posted in this thread, I see that people are getting invite and rejections from a lot of programs that I applied for, while I haven't heard anything from those programs. How likely is it that for people in my situation to be placed on a wait list?

Hey guys, I think this thread will help: Also, it seems like a lot of programs have started sending out interviews

Hi all, I am going to apply for Neuroscience PhD programs for the Fall 2015 semester. I want to hear from your experiences and your opinions of what you think my chances of getting into a program are. The following is how my application is looking like: 3.00 GPA undergrad (3.64 psychology); 3.7 last 2 semesters 3.64 GPA Masters (behavioral Neuroscience) Graduation spring 2015 Strong letters of recommendation from: My PI which is the dean of research, Chair of the neuroscience program, and from another PI I volunteered for. 4 years research experience, 5 poster presentations (3 national conferences), 2 published research articles (1 as second author), 1 article pending. I am scheduled to take the GREs soon but I project my score to be in the 60th percentile for both verbal and quantitative. I know that a lot of universities have cut offs based on GRE and GPA. My GRE score are not very competitive. Some of the schools that I want to apply for are NYU, Columbia, UCSD, US Davis, Boston, Stony book, UPenn. What do you think my chances are? If you have any advice or If you know of any Neuroscience programs that I would be a good fit, please leave a comment. Thank you.

Ok, that would make a lot more sense. I was freaking out during the exam wondering why I was guessing on so many questions/ spending so much time on each question. Thank you again, your reply really put my mind at ease.

I agree, Magoosh has been a wonderful experience thus far. I will use your advice and take another practice test on powerprep to gain another prediction of my score. Thank you bsharpe269. I don't think my question as really clear, let me rephrase it. After completing your practice test, you're allowed to review the questions, did Magoosh supply a combination of different difficulty questions (easy, medium, hard, or very hard)? Because upon review, Magoosh rank almost all of my questions as hard or very hard.

Hi guys, I just took a practice GRE test off magoosh, and all the questions were rated as hard to very hard. Is it because I've finished all the easy and medium questions during my personal practice sessions? I want to know whether or not this is the case for other people so I can better understand my predicted score. Thank you.
