[Applying for Neuroscience/Neurobiology Ph.D. programs for Fall 2014]

Thanks for all the tips! I had three professors that I work closely with review my personal statement, CV, and other application materials. Unfortunately, I do not have any publications under my belt yet (ouch). However, I am going to be submitting a behavioral pharmacological rat manuscript this spring for publication. In my personal statement, I mainly tried to highlight my research and neuropsych internship, which I was hoping would give me a leg up. The programs that I politely asked for ways to improve my app have just given me very generic things like "we had a very competitive pool" type answers. I think that my GRE scores have been my biggest dent in my application. I didn't do terrible, but not very good.

 

4 down, 8 to hear from yet! I guess I shouldn't be writing off getting into grad school just yet.  

 

Good luck and congrats to the rest of you going through this crazy thing called grad school apps! Try to keep your sanity. 

 

My friend didn't hear anything last year for any schools and around April he got a call for the PI of choice at UT Dallas and was accepted the next day. Keep your head up! Anything can happen!

Did anyone here interview at UWisconsin-Madison and know when we should hear back?

Not sure, but I imagine they interviewed a bit more than they could take. It looks like they sent out a big wave of rejections this time around. I haven't heard anything from them (reject or invite) so I'm not sure what that means.

 

I'm in the same boat. I haven't heard anything either way. Maybe, early February will bring some news? (Hopefully, good)
