I'm moving to Denver too, and I started looking now but all the places are usually only available for a week before they are leased it seems. So I'm just going to fly out in late May/early June to find a place and hopefully move in June/July.

Oh no! Don't buy so much coffee, better to just get the beans fresh weekly

Glad other people are experiencing this haha. I accepted via email, asked if there was anything else I needed to do and they told me not until I receive a packet later in the spring from the grad school when I would pay my deposit and that stuff. It just seems weird to accept over email and now I'm just waiting and waiting and yeah. Even though they told me there was nothing else I needed to do or fill out.

Yeah we were all on the same interview weekend Elliot haha

Neuroscience grad program!

Decision hashtag made

Well you are accepted to a different university in that city. I'll let you figure out which one that is hehehe

Not really from the results page, but I was at an interview and overnight UCSD sent out rejections. (at like 2am, what???) The next morning, about 4 or 5 of us just went around the table high-fiving and conratulating each other for our successful rejections

fully, plus an additional fellowship

Once I make it official, I will post it. I made my decision over the weekend, but I want to sit on it a few days to make sure it's what I really want. But it's looking like it is. I've been reading papers from the PIs and thinking about living and working in that city and just getting more excited!

Rejected from UCLA. Woohoo! I've heard back from all my programs. Making my decision official Thursday.

When I visited the school I think I'm going to accept, the first place they took me was a coffee shop that was also a bike shop that also had about 15 beers on tap plus another 50 or so bottled. Yesssssss

1. Research fit 2. Research fit, like 4-5 faculty, I'd love to work with plus an additional 4 or 5 doing research in a similar area that would complement what I want to do extremely well 3. They really want me to come to their program, or at least it appears that way 4. Seriously the fit is amazing. It's not the "best" or most "prestigious" school I've gotten in to, but y'know I'll be happier doing research there, if I decided to go -- which it's looking like I will -- and I think the quality of the work I'll be doing will be great and I can do more and go just as far if not farther and have the most fun at this school than any of the others I got in to. 5. ALL the students I met were SUPER happy and relaxed and not stressed. Goodbye East Coast! 6. Didn't factor into my decision making, but it's also my favorite of all the cities I visited.

RE: UCLA, I interviewed Feb 8-10, they told us we'd all hear back within 2-3 weeks; today is 21 days later, still nothing. BUT.. I do know a handful of people got acceptances from that weekend on Friday Feb 20, and it sounds like some people heard back quickly from the 20-22 weekend too. They said they'd be accepting 60-70%, so I can't imagine they're done sending out acceptances yet. RE: UT Austin It looks like admissions decisions are available online on the application site with a letter from the dean, but no email or call from the program as of yet.
