Applying for Neuroscience/Neurobiology Ph.D. programs for Fall 2014
HopefullyNeuro replied to RetJitter's topic in Biology
I don't think when you apply matters. I did this all last year and definitely waited til the last minute for all of them. Didnt get in everywhere but some decent places. Your stats sound good, so maybe your essay/recs didnt stand out? Id put most effort into those. -

Unfortunately most schools do not send out rejections until after interviews. A lot of the schools you applied to are discussed in this thread, most do only send one wave out. This was one of the hardest parts for me last year. -
Business casual is almost always appropriate. If its something else, the interview invite will tell you or it IS OKAY TO ASK the admissions admin people, they are there to help.

Totally varies from school to school. One place I interviewed told us they took everyone who wasn't crazy, another took only half, the rest in between.

Hey everyone, I went through this all last year, so maybe I can answer some of your questions! Waiting is definitely the worst part, interviews are one of the best, try to enjoy it. -
Congrats everyone!

Has anyone interviewed for UNC Chapel Hill BBS and could give us an idea of how it goes? thanks! -
No I did not get an invite, I was in email contact with the director, and on Dec 23rd I was told all interview invites were sent, they interview less than 20 people.

Has anyone here interviewed at WashU?

Amtrack northeast regional is cheaper, pretty comfortable, you can carry on more bags, and you dont need to show up hours earlier. Its pretty simple.

I could be mistaken, but I thought I remembered seeing a link on this site somewhere to a website that had acceptance rates? Or is there a place to find out how many applications/how many interviews/how many accepted? -
Any word on if UCSD is done sending invites?
-
ok thanks, I only get a voicemail so I still feel like it's not real!

For those of you called by stanford, did you receive an email also or were you told when one might arrive?
